Who is the most successful player to leave the English game for Italy?

Without a doubt, John Charles, the great international centre-forward and centre-half. Juventus paid �65,000, then a British record, to sign him in 1957. He helped them win three Italian Championships and the Italian Cup, returning to Leeds (�53,000) in July 1962. Now aged 70, John is still revered in Italy. They called him "Il Buon Gigante", "The Gentle Giant".

How did Arsenal come to wear red shirts?

When Arsenal were founded in 1886, some of their first players came from Nottingham Forest. They had virtually no money, so one of them, Fred Beardsley, wrote to his old club asking for some help - and Forest sent them a complete set of their teams shirts in red.

Can you shed some light on the situation at Wimbledon? Are they moving home and what's this newly-formed AFC Wimbledon?

Wimbledon's move from Selhurst Park to Milton Keynes is scheduled to go ahead later this season or next summer. AFC Wimbledon is a new breakaway club formed by Dons fans in protest at the move. They play in the Combined Counties League, share Kingstonians' ground at Kingston and their manager is former Wimbledon player Terry Eames.

In the Premiership, is there a rule which says that the number one shirt most belong to a goalkeeper, or can it be worn by an outfield player?

Most clubs make their number one a goalkeeper, but there is no rule about if. If they wished, they could number their players in the alphabetical order of names.

After so nearly losing to the Faroe Islands, why has Scottish International football got in such a mess?

Here's how Alan Hansen sums it up: "Too many foreign players in the SPL means not enough young talent is coming through. The situation won't improve until more players of quality are produced, and this is going to take time."

Steve, England

What are the rules about the number of balls that can be used during a game? I noticed that Reading have six or seven balls around the pitch ready for when the match ball gets hoofed into the crowd.

We saw spare balls used in this summer's World Cup. In domestic games, both clubs must agree over this, and it is certainly a time-saver at a ground like Reading's which has a lot of space around the pitch.
