Pretty good all are correct except Wimbledon and No Idea which are both wrong. I pretty much expected you to get the ones you did and yea i was surprised you initially missed out on Rinus Michels.

The really tough one as far as soccer is concerned is this one :

Who was the last player from England to win the golden boot in the EPL?
