No.

LenGlover · June 2018

1. Probably doing him a massive injustice but I'll guess at John Hewie 1958 for Scotland. No idea as to opposition!

No, but I did consider building a question around him.

Yep. Can anyone name the year, opposition and final score?

I know it was in 2002. I can’t remember the score or the oppo. I’ll resist the temptation to google the answer.

Manicmania · June 2018

@The Red Robin is Costa the answer to question 1 or 5?

2002 is the answer.

The final score will be hard to get, so I'll say Portugal lost the game 3-2.

Corrected.

This is going well...

Manicmania · June 2018

so just to clarify we are looking for the opposition now in a game in 2002 when Portugal lost 3-2 and Costa scored an own goal... We all on the same page here?
