It's not Ghat.

Tapei city in Taiwan

Venice.

Urumqi?

Brussels?

Would it be Urumqi by any chance?







EDIT: I see Perckerwood got there before me. ^^^

I bet it's wrong anyway.

Probably from a land locked African country or one of those poorer Asian countries like Mongolia etc near the Himalayas.

Not Urumqi. Thats the furthest from the sea but its by a river.



The answer is not as obscure as you might think. It's a fairly big city, English speaking, a leading international venue for a couple of sports.

Indianapolis, USA?

Indianapolis has a river running through it

johannesburg?

Correct. It's 60 miles from the nearest river.

It's the only city in the world that was built with no water source nearby, it developed out of the gold rush.

D'oh.

Which two English clubs turned down Eric Cantona before he went to Leeds Utd? Who were their managers, and what were their reasons?

Liverpool - Souness, cos he would disrupt the rest of the team

Sheff Wed - Francis - Because he wanted to extend his trial by another week

Pretty sure one of them was Liverpool, under Souness. Not sure of the reasons, he probably felt the money would be better spent on Istvan Kosma, Paul Stewart or Mark Walters, he'd be right. Prior to landing in the UK, Cantona did have somewhat of a reputation as a badboy but I don't know the reason.



The other, I think was Sheffield Wednesday under Trevor Francis ? Pretty certain that they wanted him to have a trial before a contract was offered where as Leeds offered him a contract.

Possibly an urban myth, but the reason I've heard that Francis didn't sign Cantona was because Eric was only able to do a bit of an indoor five-a-side kickabout since it was all a bit frozen and cold outside

Another Graham Souness fact: remember Michael Knighton the fella that did the ball juggling on the pitch at Old Trafford and was going to buy the club in 1989, but his backers pulled out and it turned out he didn't have the cash.....Knighton had Souness lined up to come in as manager as soon as the deal was complete. United were about 13th in the table and Ferguson was under pressure. Souness was seen as hot management property at the time, because he'd won Rangers the title for the first time in 10 years (!)

Sounds like an urban myth to me. Kinkladze maybe, but not Cantona.

Jesus.



Clearly, his time at Liverpool was a bad one, pretty much every signing he made was questionable, some of them like Dicks were just awful. What I did like about him was that he gave youth a chance, the likes of Fowler & McManaman really came through under him, and Carragher too I think to a lesser extent also.
