7. Steve's right, just 12. Awesome. Included six sixes in an over.

10. According to my Rothmans he wore 7 for the first 7 games, then 8 for four more before going tp Man U, where he wore 7 again.

Thanks Les, interesting quiz

Cheers

A correction to Question 2 - its 106, not 108. It was Bobby Moore that got 108 caps.

OK. Firstly, question 10 appears to have thrown up a problem. I have it on good authority that Cantona wore the number 14 shirt at Leeds, but on checking it appears that squad numbering didn't come in until 93/94 when, of course, he was at Man United. So, having sacked my researcher, the answers to the others (I think are correct) are as follows:
1. 30
2. 106
3. 14
4. 18
5. 2 (finished second in 1975 and 76)
6. 50
7. 12 (WOW)
8. 14
9. 48
10. See above.

Well done all.
