A football-related question...

In the 1960's, Bobby Charlton made the most first team appearances for Manchester United (League, FA Cup, League Cup, European competitions, etc).

(N.B. 1960's = 1st January 1960 to 31st December 1969).

So the question is:- Which of Bobby Charlton's team-mates made the second-highest number of appearances for the Manchester United first team during that same 1960's period?

Was it Bill Foulkes?

Back of the net, that's the correct answer!

Bobby Charlton (486 appearances) and Bill Foulkes (409 appearances) were two of only three players to play in every season during the 1960's for Manchester United; the other being Shay Brennan.

EbbwJunction1, you are now the team captain...

Thank you; here are some "On This Day" questions for you:

Which poet and novelist was born in 1840?
Which composer was born in 1857?
In 1938, who (two people) opened the Children's Zoo in Regent's Park, London?
Which country abolished it's Monarchy and became a Republic - and when?

Best of luck!

Q3. Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret
Q4. Spain, 1932

P.S. Shouldn't we only be setting one question at a time, rather than an entire quiz?

Neither of these, sorry. I think that it's only one question, really … "What happened on these days?" I've used this before several times without any problems.

I wanted to say Wordsworth but he was a poet but not a novelist. So perhaps Thomas Hardy?

Perhaps Thomas Hardy is right!
