Who was the last English manager to win the Premiership, and who do you think will be the next?

No English manager has won the Premiership. Howard Wilkinson was the last in charge of an English title-winning team - Leeds United in 1992 (the last of the old League championship). Who'll be next, you ask? There's bound to be one eventually, but as for this season I can't see beyond Arsene Wenger, Gerard Houllier or Sir Alex Ferguson.

How are referees' tops decided for Premiership games? Some wear black, others green.

With clubs these days often wearing second or third colours, referees frequently pack three different coloured tops in their bags - black, green and yellow.

Regarding Aston villa 'keeper Peter Enkleman's classic blunder, a goal wouldn't have been scored from that blunder if it had gone in directly. In that event, how would the game have been restarted?

There are two answers to this: If the ball goes directly into the net from a throw-in taken by the defending side, the decision is a corner kick. If a player on the attacking side does it, it's a goal-kick.

How old was Leslie Compton, the Arsenal centre-half, when he was first capped by England? I seem to remember he was 38 - is this the oldest for a "first cap?"

Nothing wrong with your memory, Bill. The late Leslie Compton is still is the record books as Britain's oldest new cap - he was aged 38 years, 64 days when he made his England debut in a 4-2 win against Wales at Sunderland on 15 November, 1950.

Alex Beer, England

Are there five clubs in the English league with "x" in their name?

There were five last season, but Halifax Town finished bottom of Division Three and dropped into the Conference. That leaves Crewe Alexandra, Exeter, Oxford, and Wrexham.

Dave, England

Can you tell me the choices available to the captain who wins the toss before a match?

The toss-winning captain used to have the choice of ends or kick-off, but that changed a few years ago. These days, the side that wins the toss must kick off and their opponents choose which way to kick.

Stu, England

Which team have had the longest unbeaten run from the start of a season in the top flight?

Leeds United hold that record - undefeated in the first 29 matches (19 wins, 10 draws) in the old First Division in season 1973-74. In the Premiership, the best start is 12 games unbeaten by three clubs: Nottingham Forest in 1995-96; Arsenal in 1997-98; Aston Villa in 1998-99.

Who were the last club to leave the Football League for financial reasons?

Two clubs dropped out in such circumstances in 1992. Aldershot were wound up late in the season, after playing at Cardiff (Division Four) on 20 March, and Maidstone United (Division three) resigned on 17 August.

Back in the fifties, I remember seeing Man Utd beat Chelsea 6-5 at Stamford Bridge. Can you fill in some details about that match?

Played on 16 October, 1954, that was the most astonishing result in what is still Chelsea's only Championship-winning season. There were two hat-tricks, by Dennis Viollet for United and by Seamus O'Connell on his Chelsea debut, and a brace for United by Tommy Taylor. Eight of the goals were scored in one spell of 32 minutes. The crowd was reduced to 56,000 because of a bus strike. Remember it well - I was there!

Rod Wallace, Scotland

Was it once the case that during the game the goalkeepers' arms had to be covered at all times, and has this rule changed in recent years?

My refereeing expert tells me there was never such a rule. What is a rule is that all players must wear sleeved jerseys, but there is nothing to stop them rolling them up.
