Football Quiz - Answers

Q: It was never done at home. Tottenham did it first, then Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa. Liverpool did it in 1898, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1984. Manchester United have NEVER done it and lost out twice because of Chelsea who have also never done it. It has never been done on a Saturday or in Europe. What is it?
A: ?

I'm pretty sure that this is a hoax, and I certainly can't answer it. Apart from anything else, if Liverpool did it in 1898 and Tottenham were the first to do it, then the fact that before 1898 Tottenham only played in the Southern League and FA Cup limits the possible answers.

Also, Liverpool did win the European Cup in four of the quoted calendar years, whilst Tottenham were the first English team to win a European competition. That suggests that this may be a corrupted question based around European victories.
