Summary
Overview
This is Part 2 of the Quickly Kevin end-of-series quiz, featuring a series of 1990s football trivia rounds. The episode includes teams competing in a Euro 96 maths quiz, a manager identification round, a Taboo-style game with France 98 World Cup players, and specialist mastermind rounds. Interspersed with the quiz is an interview about favourite football shirts for the Football Shirt Collective charity book.
Football Shirt Memories and Nostalgia
The hosts share their first and favourite football shirts, revealing personal connections to 1990s football culture. Josh recalls his England Italia 90 shirt that was borrowed for a school pantomime and never returned. Michael discusses receiving Liverpool shirts from his uncle before declaring allegiance to Manchester United, while both hosts express fondness for classic kits like the Denmark Hummel shirt and various iconic away kits from the era.
- Josh's first shirt was England Italia 90 with embroidered badge, which he lent for a school pantomime and never got back
- Michael's uncle sent him Liverpool crown paints shirts to convert him, but he showed up wearing Man United instead
- The hosts discuss the Denmark Hummel shirt from the 80s as a beautiful design
- They lament how teams have lost distinct away colours in the rush for capital
" I lent him that shirt, never got it back. There was a lot of debate over whether I'd been giving it back and I hadn't but that was the end of it. That's heartbreaking. "
" In this kind of rush for bloody capital, we've lost sight of what matters. Game's gone, mate. Game's gone. "
Euro 96 Maths Challenge Chaos
Teams attempt to solve a complex mathematical equation based on Euro 96 statistics, including Alan Shearer's goals, Oliver Bierhoff's golden goal timing, and the Neville brothers' combined age. The round descends into confusion with debates about third-place playoffs and calculations, with Josh describing his GCSE maths disaster involving a graph that required extra paper. The teams' answers of 4,472 and 4,253 fall far short of the correct answer of 3,840.
- Josh recalls his GCSE maths exam where he got a graph so wrong he needed a second piece of A4 stuck to the first, creating a double-height graph
- The equation involved Alan Shearer's 5 goals, Oliver Bierhoff's 95th minute golden goal, and various other Euro 96 statistics
- The hosts tricked contestants into believing there was a third-place playoff when none existed in Euro 96
- Gary Neville was 21 and Phil Neville was 19 at the tournament, a key calculation point
" I had to get a second piece of A4 stuck to the top of the first one which then flapped out. So it was a double height graph which went over the end of my table. "
