Fairly certain Moses never played in the Prem for Palace. Other 5 sound spot on though. 

Sky haven't actually released the answer but the Twitter consensus seems to be:

Cahill

Schlupp

Remy

Loftus-Cheek

Batshuayi

 

Plus one more, not seen it mentioned here thus far.

Leicester, Cambridge, Peterborough, WBA?, Crystal Palace, Northampton, Coventry, Rushden and Diamonds and maybe Watford?

 Not sure about Watford and WBA, I have a little memory that could be wrong of him at Watford and he would have been a classic WBA signing.

8-10 if they’re all correct

All correct. Funnily enough I also remembered him being at Watford but it turned out to be a 2 game loan spell from Peterborough.

 

That's 9/16 so far the others are:

 

2 current premier league teams.

1 current league one team.

2 current league two teams.

2 teams who are now in non league (one of which has reformed and changed their name).

Norwich and Burnley? Again Tricky Trev would fit right in at those clubs.

What is the lowest attendance for a Premier League match, who played and what was the venue?

I don't know this but I believe that Leicester holds the record low attendance of 38 for a game played at Stoke City's ground.  I forget the opponents (not Stoke) Must have been a cup game.

 

Anyway, who played football for Scotland and cricket for England?

Thats a tough question because anyone who has ever played cricket for England could probably get in the Scottish football team :ph34r:

I think a game between Stockport and Leicester at Old Trafford had the lowest ever crowd of 13.

You're right.  Could've sworn it was at Stoke's ground.

 

Anyway, apparently Stockport's home ground was closed because of crowd trouble (this is 1921!) and was played at Old Trafford.  THe match immediately foolowed a game between Unired and Derby and the 13 attendance was recorded for the people who paid to come in in the couple of minutes between the two games.  The supporters that paid to watch United could stay on and watch our game so there was actually a lot more supporters in the ground.

 

Those that stayed on got to witness a thrilling 0-0 draw.
