Round 1: Champions & Trophies (Questions 1–10)

1. Which club won the very first Premier League title in the 1992–93 season?
✓ Manchester United
💡 Manchester United won the first ever Premier League title by ten points, ending a 26-year wait for the league championship. It was the first full season under the new Premier League branding, having broken away from the Football League First Division.
2. Which club has won the most Premier League titles overall?
✓ Manchester United — 13 titles
💡 All 13 of Manchester United's Premier League titles were won under Sir Alex Ferguson between 1993 and 2013. Since Ferguson's retirement in May 2013, United have not won the title again.
3. Which club won the Premier League title in 2015–16 as 5,000-to-1 outsiders at the start of that season?
✓ Leicester City
💡 Leicester City's 2015–16 title win under Claudio Ranieri is widely regarded as the greatest sporting upset in modern history. Most bookmakers offered 5,000-to-1 odds at the season's start — longer odds than Elvis Presley being found alive.
4. How many times did Arsenal go through an entire Premier League season unbeaten?
✓ Once — in 2003–04, the "Invincibles" season
💡 Arsenal went all 38 league games unbeaten in 2003–04, finishing with 90 points. They also set a then-record of 49 consecutive Premier League matches unbeaten across two seasons before losing to Manchester United in October 2004.
5. What is the highest points total ever recorded in a single Premier League season?
✓ 100 points — Manchester City in 2017–18
💡 Pep Guardiola's Manchester City became the first team to reach 100 points in a 38-game Premier League season in 2017–18. They also set records for most wins (32), most goals (106) and biggest winning margin over second place (19 points).
6. Which club won back-to-back Premier League titles in 1995–96 and 1996–97?
✓ Manchester United
💡 United's 1995–96 title was sealed with the famous Double, beating Liverpool in the FA Cup final. Eric Cantona captained the side — his return from a nine-month ban for his Selhurst Park kung-fu kick had galvanised the club and transformed him into a legend.
7. Which London club won back-to-back Premier League titles in 2004–05 and 2005–06 under José Mourinho?
✓ Chelsea
💡 Chelsea's consecutive titles were built on the defensive solidity of Petr Čech and John Terry. In 2004–05 they set a then-record of only 15 goals conceded across 38 league games — a standard of defensive excellence that stood for over a decade.
8. In which season did Manchester City pip Manchester United to the title on goal difference, settled by Sergio Agüero's stoppage-time winner on the final day?
✓ 2011–12
💡 Agüero's 94th-minute winner against QPR is the most dramatic moment in Premier League history. QPR had led 2–1 deep in injury time. The goal gave City the title over United on goal difference — both clubs finished on 89 points. The BBC commentary "Agueroooooo!" became iconic.
9. Which club won the Premier League title in 1994–95, and who managed them?
✓ Blackburn Rovers, managed by Kenny Dalglish
💡 Blackburn's title, backed by the investment of owner Jack Walker, was the last time outside the so-called "big clubs" won the league for 21 years — until Leicester City in 2016. Alan Shearer scored 34 goals that season and was the division's outstanding striker.
10. How many different clubs have won the Premier League title since its formation in 1992?
✓ Seven — Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Liverpool
💡 Liverpool were the last of the current "big clubs" to win the title, finally breaking their 30-year league championship wait in 2019–20. They finished with 99 points — the second-highest total in Premier League history — yet still could not match City's 100-point record from 2017–18.

Round 2: Goals & Records (Questions 11–20)

11. Who is the all-time top scorer in Premier League history?
✓ Alan Shearer — 260 Premier League goals
💡 Alan Shearer scored 260 Premier League goals between 1992 and 2006, for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United. He retired without ever winning the league title despite being its greatest ever goalscorer.
12. Which player scored the fastest hat-trick in Premier League history, taking just 2 minutes and 56 seconds?
✓ Sadio Mané — for Southampton against Aston Villa in May 2015
💡 Mané's hat-trick came in a 6–1 win over Aston Villa, his three goals arriving in the 16th, 18th and 19th minutes. It broke the record previously held by Robbie Fowler, who scored three in 4 minutes 33 seconds for Liverpool against Arsenal in August 1994.
13. Who holds the record for the most Premier League goals in a single season, with 32 goals in 2017–18?
✓ Mohamed Salah — for Liverpool in 2017–18
💡 Salah's 32-goal season broke the record for the 38-game era, previously held jointly by Luis Suárez (31 goals in 2013–14) and Cristiano Ronaldo (31 goals in 2007–08). Salah achieved his total in just 36 appearances, winning the Golden Boot by a six-goal margin.
14. What is the largest winning margin ever recorded in a single Premier League match?
✓ 9–0 — achieved on three separate occasions
💡 The 9–0 scoreline has been produced three times: Manchester United beat Ipswich 9–0 in March 1995; Leicester City beat Southampton 9–0 in October 2019; and Southampton themselves beat Ipswich 9–0 in February 2021 — a coincidence that tied all three results to Ipswich or Southampton.
15. Which goalkeeper holds the record for the most Premier League clean sheets, with 202?
✓ Petr Čech — for Chelsea and Arsenal
💡 Petr Čech kept 202 Premier League clean sheets across his career with Chelsea (2004–2015) and Arsenal (2015–2019). He is also the only goalkeeper in Premier League history to have won the Golden Glove award four times, and he wore his trademark protective helmet after a serious skull fracture in 2006.
16. Who scored the first ever Premier League goal, on the opening day of the 1992–93 season?
✓ Brian Deane — for Sheffield United against Manchester United on 15 August 1992
💡 Brian Deane scored after just five minutes to give Sheffield United a 2–1 win over the reigning First Division champions on the very first day of Premier League football. A commemorative plaque at Bramall Lane marks the historic moment.
17. Which player holds the record for most Premier League appearances, with 653?
✓ Gareth Barry
💡 Gareth Barry surpassed Ryan Giggs's record of 632 appearances during the 2013–14 season. Barry played for Aston Villa, Manchester City, Everton and West Brom across a career spanning 1998 to 2017, appearing in the Premier League in four different decades.
18. Which club set the Premier League record for most goals scored in a single season, netting 106 times in 2017–18?
✓ Manchester City
💡 City's 106-goal haul in 2017–18 under Pep Guardiola was part of a remarkable season that also produced 100 points and 32 wins. Leroy Sané, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Agüero were the creative core of arguably the greatest Premier League team ever assembled.
19. Which club has been relegated from the Premier League the most times, with four relegations?
✓ Leicester City — relegated in 1994, 2002, 2004 and 2023
💡 Leicester City's rollercoaster relationship with the Premier League is unmatched. They won the title in 2016 and were then relegated in 2023 — prompting the return of Claudio Ranieri in a later managerial role in Italy. They won promotion back from the Championship at the first attempt.
20. Edwin van der Sar set a Premier League record for consecutive minutes without conceding — how many minutes did his record-breaking run last in 2008–09?
✓ 1,311 minutes
💡 Edwin van der Sar went 1,311 minutes without conceding a Premier League goal in 2008–09 — roughly 14 and a half full matches. The run finally ended when Darren Bent scored for Sunderland. Van der Sar dedicated the clean-sheet record to his wife, who had suffered a serious brain haemorrhage earlier that season.

Round 3: Clubs & Stadiums (Questions 21–30)

21. What is the name of Manchester United's home ground?
✓ Old Trafford
💡 Old Trafford has been Manchester United's home since 1910 and is nicknamed "The Theatre of Dreams" — a phrase coined by Sir Bobby Charlton. Its current capacity is around 74,879, making it the largest club football stadium in the United Kingdom.
22. What is the name of Manchester City's home ground, and what was it called before the naming rights deal?
✓ Etihad Stadium — originally the City of Manchester Stadium
💡 City moved to the City of Manchester Stadium in 2003 after it was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, leaving Maine Road after 80 years. It was renamed the Etihad Stadium in 2011 after a naming rights deal with Etihad Airways.
23. Which club plays their home games at Anfield?
✓ Liverpool
💡 Anfield's most famous feature is the Kop stand, named after Spion Kop hill in South Africa where many soldiers from Liverpool died in the Boer War. The Kop's rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" before kick-off is one of football's most iconic atmospheres and has inspired supporters worldwide.
24. Which Premier League club plays at the Vitality Stadium — one of the smallest grounds in the top flight?
✓ AFC Bournemouth
💡 The Vitality Stadium (formerly Dean Court) holds around 11,307 — historically one of the smallest in Premier League history. Bournemouth's rise from the lower leagues to a settled Premier League club under Eddie Howe was one of English football's most remarkable stories.
25. Which two clubs shared Selhurst Park during the early Premier League era?
✓ Crystal Palace and Wimbledon
💡 Wimbledon FC shared Selhurst Park with Crystal Palace from 1991 to 2003 after selling their Plough Lane ground. The club was controversially relocated to Milton Keynes in 2003, becoming MK Dons — a decision that led to AFC Wimbledon being formed by supporters determined to preserve the original club's identity.
26. Where did Arsenal play their home games before moving to the Emirates Stadium in 2006?
✓ Highbury — Highbury Stadium, also known as Arsenal Stadium
💡 Arsenal played at Highbury for 93 years from 1913 to 2006. After the move to the 60,704-capacity Emirates, Highbury was converted into luxury apartments — the Grade II listed Art Deco East and West stands were preserved as the external facades of the development.
27. Which club plays at Villa Park, and what European honour did they win in 1982?
✓ Aston Villa — they won the European Cup (now the Champions League) in 1982
💡 Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich 1–0 in the 1982 European Cup final in Rotterdam. Peter Withe scored the only goal. Villa are one of only five English clubs to have won the European Cup/Champions League, alongside Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.
28. Which Premier League club is nicknamed "The Hornets", plays in yellow and black, and is associated with former chairman Elton John?
✓ Watford
💡 Elton John first became Watford chairman in 1976 and oversaw the club's rise from the Fourth Division to the First Division within five years under manager Graham Taylor. Their yellow and black kit was inspired by the Brazilian national team. John returned as honorary life president in later years.
29. What is the name of Tottenham Hotspur's current stadium, which opened in 2019?
✓ Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
💡 The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened in April 2019 with a capacity of 62,850, making it the largest Premier League stadium in London. It also contains a dedicated NFL pitch that slides under the main grass surface — the stadium hosts several NFL London Games each season.
30. Which club left Goodison Park in 2025 to move to a new waterfront stadium on the banks of the River Mersey?
✓ Everton — they moved to Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock
💡 Everton left Goodison Park after 133 years when their new 52,888-capacity waterfront stadium opened in 2025. Goodison, which had hosted FA Cup semi-finals, England internationals and European nights, was left behind — one of English football's most emotional ground closures in recent memory.

Round 4: Managers (Questions 31–40)

31. How many Premier League titles did Sir Alex Ferguson win as Manchester United manager?
✓ 13 Premier League titles
💡 Ferguson managed United from November 1986 to May 2013 — a 26-year reign. He won 13 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups and 2 Champions Leagues. He is widely considered the greatest manager in English football history and one of the greatest in the world game.
32. Which manager led Arsenal through the famous unbeaten "Invincibles" season in 2003–04?
✓ Arsène Wenger
💡 Arsène Wenger managed Arsenal from 1996 to 2018 — 22 years — winning 3 Premier League titles and 7 FA Cups. His revolutionary approach to diet, training and continental scouting transformed English football culture. He discovered and developed Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira and Robert Pires, among many others.
33. Which manager famously called himself "the Special One" at his very first Chelsea press conference in June 2004?
✓ José Mourinho
💡 Mourinho said "I think I am a special one" — not as bluster, but in context of having just won the Champions League with unfancied Porto. He went on to win back-to-back Premier League titles with Chelsea in 2004–05 and 2005–06, his debut seasons in English football.
34. Which manager famously said he would ring a "dilly ding, dilly dong" bell to wake his Leicester City players up if they switched off?
✓ Claudio Ranieri
💡 Claudio Ranieri's warm humour and approachable style were central to Leicester's 2015–16 title miracle. His "dilly ding, dilly dong" phrase became one of the most quoted manager lines of the Premier League era — a perfect encapsulation of his refreshingly light touch.
35. Which manager took over at Manchester City in 2016 and led them to a historic Treble in 2022–23?
✓ Pep Guardiola
💡 Pep Guardiola joined Manchester City in June 2016 from Bayern Munich. In 2022–23, City became only the second English club to win the Treble (Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League), emulating Manchester United's 1998–99 achievement under Sir Alex Ferguson.
36. Which manager ended Liverpool's 30-year wait for the league title in 2019–20?
✓ Jürgen Klopp
💡 Klopp joined Liverpool in October 2015 and secured the 2019–20 Premier League title with seven games to spare — the fastest title wrap-up in the competition's history at that point. The trophy was lifted behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a bittersweet moment for supporters.
37. Who managed Blackburn Rovers to the Premier League title in 1994–95?
✓ Kenny Dalglish
💡 Dalglish guided Blackburn to their first top-flight title since 1914, heavily backed by owner Jack Walker. Alan Shearer scored 34 league goals that season. After winning the title, Blackburn finished seventh the following year and have never returned to the top three since.
38. Which manager guided Manchester United to the famous Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 1998–99?
✓ Sir Alex Ferguson
💡 The 1998–99 Treble remains the pinnacle of English club football. The Champions League final against Bayern Munich was won with two injury-time goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjær. Ferguson was knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours list that year.
39. Which manager resigned from Arsenal in 2018 after 22 years at the club?
✓ Arsène Wenger
💡 Wenger announced his departure on 20 April 2018, ending the longest managerial tenure at any major English club in the modern era. His final season ended without a European finish for the first time in 20 years, but his legacy — "the Wenger effect" on English football — is considered immeasurable.
40. Pep Guardiola holds the record for most Premier League titles won by a single manager — how many did he win with Manchester City as of the 2024–25 season?
✓ Six Premier League titles — 2017–18, 2018–19, 2020–21, 2021–22, 2022–23 and 2023–24
💡 Guardiola won six Premier League titles in his first nine seasons at City, surpassing Sir Alex Ferguson's record of five in a ten-season stretch (1996–2001, excluding gaps). His 2017–18 side is widely regarded as the greatest in Premier League history by statistical measures.

Round 5: Players & Legends (Questions 41–50)

41. Which striker scored 260 Premier League goals — the all-time record — playing for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United?
✓ Alan Shearer
💡 Shearer turned down Manchester United — the dominant force of the 1990s — to rejoin his hometown club Newcastle United for a then-world-record £15 million in 1996. He never won the Premier League title, a fact widely cited as one of the great "what if" decisions in English football history.
42. Which French striker scored 175 Premier League goals for Arsenal and won four Golden Boots?
✓ Thierry Henry
💡 Thierry Henry's four Golden Boots (1999–2000, 2001–02, 2003–04 and 2004–05) are a joint record with Harry Kane. Henry was twice named PFA Players' Player of the Year and Football Writers' Footballer of the Year. A bronze statue of him stands outside the Emirates Stadium.
43. Which midfielder made 632 Premier League appearances — a record at the time of his retirement — all for Manchester United?
✓ Ryan Giggs
💡 Ryan Giggs played for Manchester United from 1990 to 2014 — 24 years at a single club. He won 13 Premier League titles and is the only player to have scored in every Premier League season from 1992–93 to 2012–13. He was also the only player to win the PFA Young Player of the Year award twice in succession (1992 and 1993).
44. Andy Cole scored a then-record 34 league goals in a single season in 1993–94 — which club was he playing for?
✓ Newcastle United
💡 Cole's 34 goals in 1993–94 came in what was still a 42-game season and set the record for goals in a top-flight campaign. He later won five Premier League titles with Manchester United. He is the second-highest Premier League goalscorer of all time, behind Alan Shearer, with 187 goals.
45. Which midfielder holds the Premier League record for most assists in a single season, with 20 in 2019–20?
✓ Kevin De Bruyne — for Manchester City
💡 De Bruyne's 20 assists in 2019–20 equalled Thierry Henry's record set in 2002–03. He achieved it in just 35 appearances. De Bruyne is widely regarded as the greatest creative midfielder in Premier League history and has led the assists chart in multiple seasons for Manchester City.
46. Mohamed Salah set the record for most Premier League goals in a 38-game season with 32 in 2017–18 — which country does he play for internationally?
✓ Egypt
💡 Salah's 32-goal Premier League season coincided with Egypt qualifying for the 2018 World Cup — their first World Cup appearance since 1990 — with Salah's goals throughout qualification proving decisive. He has since become Africa's most celebrated active footballer and is Liverpool's all-time leading scorer.
47. Which striker is joint-top of the Premier League Golden Boot records alongside Thierry Henry, having also won it four times?
✓ Harry Kane — Golden Boots in 2015–16, 2016–17, 2020–21 and 2021–22
💡 Harry Kane's four Golden Boots were all won as a Tottenham Hotspur player before his £100 million move to Bayern Munich in 2023. Kane is the leading scorer in Premier League history among English players and broke Wayne Rooney's all-time England goalscoring record in 2023.
48. Which player has scored the most Premier League hat-tricks, with 11?
✓ Alan Shearer
💡 Alan Shearer's 11 Premier League hat-tricks are a competition record. He was equally lethal with both feet and his head, and his trademark celebration — one arm raised, palm down — became one of football's most iconic images. He scored 30 or more league goals in three separate seasons.
49. Which winger, developed through Manchester United's "Class of 92" academy, was a key player in all 13 of the club's Premier League title wins?
✓ Ryan Giggs
💡 The "Class of 92" — Giggs, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt — came through United's academy together and formed the spine of the team that won the 1992 FA Youth Cup. Giggs was the last of the group to retire, in 2014, and the only one to win 13 Premier League titles.
50. Which Portuguese winger won the Premier League Golden Boot with 31 goals in 2007–08 while at Manchester United?
✓ Cristiano Ronaldo
💡 Ronaldo's 31-goal season in 2007–08 was part of a campaign that also saw United win the Champions League. He won the Ballon d'Or that year, becoming the first United player to do so since George Best in 1968. He departed for Real Madrid in a world-record £80 million deal the following summer.
