Solutions

1:B - The Heysel Stadium Disaster, which preceded the 1985 European Cup final, tragically claimed the lives of 39 people. The stadium was completely rebuilt in 1995 and renamed after the Belgian king who had died two years previously. All that remains of the old stadium is a renovated gateway near the main entrance. , 2:B - David Beckham’s bouncing cross from a set-piece missed everybody in the box and Shearer was all alone at the back post, heading the ball back across Oliver Kahn into the far corner. Both teams failed to qualify from Group A. , 3:A - Benelucky took the form of a lion with a devil's tail, with his mane having both the colours of the two host nations: Holland and Belgium. , 4:D - Xavier, then of Everton, had a blonde beard to match. He was a revelation at Euro 2000 but it was his handball that gave France a penalty (and golden goal) in extra-time of the semi-final., 5:D - Brussels police fired tear gas at the fans and plain-clothed snatch squads made arrests as part of their zero-tolerance policy towards football troublemakers at the tournament., 6:C - Toldo, who put in a magnificent performance to help beat the Netherlands in the semi-finals, could only watch as Trezeguet's strike shot into the roof of the net., 7:B - Two years after leaving Aston Villa, Milosevic was in fine form for Yugoslavia, netting four times in the group stage and the only goal in his nation’s 6-1 defeat to Holland in the quarter finals. His form would earn him a €25m move from Real Zaragoza to Parma to replace Lazio-bound Hernán Crespo, 8:D - Blanc was also named in the team of the tournament in Euro 1992 and Euro 1996. Although he missed what could have been the greatest night of his career at the 1998 World Cup. He was sent off in the semi-final for pushing Croatian defender Slaven Bilic in the face and was suspended for the final., 9:C - Fabio Cannavaro, Alessandro Nesta, Alessandro Del Piero, Francesco Totti and Filippo Inzaghi., 10:B - West Germany won the Euro 1972 and the World Cup in 1974. Spain have done it since, winning Euro 2008 and the 2010 World Cup (as well as Euro 2012 for good measure).
