Back in January I asked a question on each of our first thirty matches of the season, so here’s a quiz for the remaining matches, starting with our win at Leeds
- answers on Monday.
1. Fraizer Campbell’s goal at Elland Road was his first for the club, but can you name the two players who got their first City goals in the same game against Leeds a few years ago?
2. Craig Bellamy missed what was probably the best chance of the 0-0 draw at Huddersfield in early February – if he had scored, he would have become the first Welshman to score for us at Huddersfield since who?
3. Ben Nugent’s own goal against Bristol City was the only one scored by City this season, who scored the last one before that?
4. The Brighton side that won 2-0 at Cardiff City Stadium contained players capped by Poland, England, Scotland and which other country?
5. Another question about international footballers, the Wolves starting eleven for our 2-1 win there contained three players who had won full caps for their country, name them.
6. We were 2-0 down inside twenty minutes at Middlesbrough, who were the last side to go a couple of goals up against us so early on before that?
7. In March, Derby were the only side we faced this season who did this to us – what am I referring to?
8. Also in March, Michael Keane came very close to score a winning goal for Leicester in a game in Cardiff.

14. What happened in the 3-0 win over Forest which City hadn’t managed to do since April 2011?
15. What number shirt was Hudson wearing when City got promoted on April 16?
16. Complete this sequence, Craig Conway, Cohen Griffith, Phil Stant…………..
17. There were three of them on the pitch when we kicked off against Bolton and that’s the highest number for a game featuring Cardiff City this season, what am I talking about?
