Never Ending General Knowledge

Deutschland?

france

HC is correct. It is France, with 17 popes. This is combing the Kingdom of France and the French part of the Holy Roman empire. I believe the last French pope was from the 1300s. Italy is number one with over 2000 popes.

In 2000 years?

I need to read into the history of popes!

Well, that’ll save us from doing it.

Iranu taking one for the team, there

Sorry should have been 200...

2000 Popes. That’s insane, Jeremy

Happycamper is correct :)

Patiently waiting for a question.

You'll get one on Tuesday, if you're good.

Pope's Urn is a public art work dedicated to the poet and writer Alexander Pope was commissioned for the 2015 Rugby World Cup and located in which London borough, in which Pope was a resident?

I’m going to guess Richmond-upon-Thames, as there is a Pope’s Grotto near Teddington

correct. richmond also being home of twickenham, which hosted the rugby world cup final that year. here is a picture. i'm sure old popey would be made up.

Only two of the 32 London boroughs have ‘Royal’ status conferred upon them. Name either.

Kensington & Chelsea?

Indeed

The other being Kingston-upon-Thames.

I was surprised when I researched this question, as I expected Richmond (u-T) to be one as well. Who knew?

When looking for a good question about Chelsea Football Club, the answer always seems to be John Terry or Frank Lampard.

So, to make things slightly harder, but probably not much harder, I'll go for:

John Terry is Chelsea FC's all-time highest scoring defender with 67 goals. David Webb is Chelsea FC's highest scoring defender from the pre-premiership days with 34 goals. Who is the club's 2nd highest scoring defender, also with 34 goals, when considering only Chelsea FC's premiership years?

graeme le saux?

A good guess, but not the answer. Le Saux comes in 10th with 16 goals.

William Gallas?

Another good guess, but just slightly further away than HC's, Gallas being 11th with 14 goals.

Gary Cahill?

Frank Leboeuf?

Excellent guess, but 4th with 25 goals.

Likewise, but joint 5th with 24 goals.

Dan Petrescu

Petrescu is the guy who's joint 5th with Le Beef.

Ricardo Carvalho?

SnookerEd25 wrote:Ricardo Carvalho?

He has 11 goals and I think he's 16th.

Marcel Desailly?

He's quite a long way down with 7 goals.
