The Roker Report Christmas Quiz (Questions)

We did this last year and it went down pretty well, so here's this years Christmas Quiz! It's not particularly taxing, but it might help pass the time before your dinner's cooked. Are you ready?

Stu Forster

Merry Christmas one and all, it's time for the 2012 version of our Christmas Quiz. Last year it went pretty well, so shall we crack on with this years? I think we should.

Here's the questions, and the answers will be along later on today. We must point out that there is no prize at all other than personal pride and a sense of achievement. Also the answers are as good as we could find answers wise. If you disagree, take it up with SAFC.com, Wikipedia and other information sources.

Pens at the ready, fingers steady, let's play The Roker Report Christmas Quiz!
