It’s not about the journey, it’s about the destination!

Congrats to @martinezra.bsky.social, @bigdwoolly.bsky.social & @wiggytoo.com, who between them guessed the two correct answers - which are…

Will Vaulks and Michal Helik!

Vaulks played for Wales in a friendly in October 2020 & Helik started for Poland in a World Cup qualifier in March 2021.

Behind The Badge @behindthebadgeoufc.bsky.social · 5d

Nope, but a good shout!

Behind The Badge @behindthebadgeoufc.bsky.social · 5d

Correct!

Behind The Badge @behindthebadgeoufc.bsky.social · 5d

Afraid not - he's a midfielder...

Behind The Badge @behindthebadgeoufc.bsky.social · 5d

Nope, sorry!

Krastev? Helik? We can't have that many more internationals

Behind The Badge @behindthebadgeoufc.bsky.social · 6d

One of those is correct! The other correct answer is probably the more difficult one

Behind The Badge @behindthebadgeoufc.bsky.social · 6d

Neither correct I'm afraid!

A quiz question for you...🤔

With Mark Harris hoping to feature in Wales' friendly with England tonight, which TWO other members of the #oufc squad have played against England at Wembley?

Share your answers in the comments...no cheating👇

Good knowledge!

Vinny Jones & Neil Ruddock played for QPR. Jamie Cook & Paul Powell were superb & got selected for England u21’s on the back of it

After last night’s stalemate, #oufc have now failed to score on their past 4 visits to QPR.

Steve Davis (not that one) was the last player to score for the club at Loftus Road with this effort in a 1-1 draw in April 1998!

United are also on a 13-game winless run at QPR, stretching back to 1969 😬

Yesterday was the first time #oufc have won a second-tier away game by 2+ goals since beating Norwich 3-1 in November 1998 - a time when the club’s very existence was in doubt.

Brian Wilsterman, Dean Windass and Andy Thomson the scorers that day ⚽️

Arguably the only thing missing from his #oufc career!

I still regret his glaring miss in the cup final. I really wanted him to score that day
