QUIZ: How well do you remember the football that happened in 2020?

Football has been a saving grace in a miserable year, but how well do you remember everything that happened on - and off - the pitch?

Reuben Pinder

So long, 2020!

We have a 2020 football quiz that will bring back lots of memories, good, bad and crazy!

You don’t need us to tell you how miserable this year has been, nor that the misery is set to continue well into 2021. It’s been grim. There is no escaping that. We even had to live without football for a few months. That does make it a bit harder to write this quiz, but fear not, we soldiered on and ground out 25 questions for your enjoyment.

Round one covers Covid-19 and its impact on the footballing world. Then we move onto the managerial merry-go-round – which has been less active this year, for obvious reasons. Round three is all about transfers, then you get a Champions League dedicated round, and last but not least, five questions all about off the field shenanigans.

Good luck, and happy holidays!
