Staying with the FA Cup, in a qualifying round many years ago, a player scored seven goals and still finished on the losing side in a match that was completed.

Who was the player and which were the two teams involved.

Denis Law for Manchester City away at Luton Town in January 1961. Think that was the 4th round Proper, though, and not a qualifying round. First match was on the Saturday, and Law scored all six for the visitors in a 6-2 "win", but the match was abandoned in the second half and his goal haul didn't count. He scored again in the midweek re-match, but City lost this one 1-3.

Not that one. All the seven goals were scored in a completed match on the same day, where extra time may have been involved.

HINT...It was a 4th qualifying round match.

Absolutely right -- the World War II deception operation by "us against them".

Please set the next question.

Quite correct. He changed profession to a fashion designer and introduced the bikini, for which we should all be thankful.

Your turn to fashion a question.
