Answers — round 1
  1. Notts County — An Englishman at the club, Tom Savage, had a contact send over a set of shirts from Notts County — the world's oldest professional club — around 1903, and the stripes stuck.
  2. The Latin name 'Juventus' literally means 'youth' — 'Juventus' is Latin for youth, so a club named after the young became affectionately known as the Old Lady — a nickname that grew in the 1930s as the team leaned on aging legends.
  3. Angelo Peruzzi — Peruzzi saved from Davids and Silooy, and Vladimir Jugovic slotted the decisive penalty to give Juve their second and (to date) last European Cup.
  4. He arrived on a free transfer, discarded by AC Milan — Milan let the regista leave for nothing thinking he was finished; under Conte he was reborn and orchestrated the title that ended Juve's post-Calciopoli drought.
  5. 102 points in a single season — Their 102-point haul (33 wins from 38) smashed Inter's previous best of 97; Conte then stunned everyone by resigning that summer.
  6. Il Divin Codino — 'Il Divin Codino' — the Divine Ponytail — captured both his signature look and the near-religious devotion he inspired; the nickname 'Il Pinturicchio' actually belonged to Del Piero.
  7. Cristiano Ronaldo — At 33, Ronaldo's €100m-plus move was meant to deliver the Champions League; it never came, but he did finish as Serie A's top scorer in 2020-21, winning the Capocannoniere.
  8. 1920s — Edoardo Agnelli became president in 1923, beginning a near-century of Fiat-family ownership that funded the club's first dynasty of five straight titles in the 1930s.
  9. The Champions League — Buffon reached the Champions League final with Juve in 2003, 2015 and 2017 — losing all three — and retired without the one club trophy he craved most.
  10. A running track left fans far from the pitch — Built for the 1990 World Cup with an athletics track and poor sightlines, it created a cold atmosphere; Juve replaced it with the intimate, club-owned Juventus Stadium in 2011 (renamed Allianz Stadium in 2017).

Round 2

  1. Marco Tardelli's roaring, tearful celebration after scoring in the 1982 World Cup final is one of football's most famous images. Which club did he play for at the time?
  2. Which prolific French striker formed a deadly partnership with Del Piero and holds a notable Juventus scoring distinction from the 2000s?

  3. The UEFA Cup — By 1985 Juve had completed the set of European Cup, Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Cup — the first club ever to win all three (recognised with the UEFA Plaque in 1988), later adding the Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup.
  4. Zinedine Zidane — Zidane won two Serie A titles in Turin before his world-record transfer to Real Madrid in 2001 — where he scored that famous Champions League final volley a year later.
  5. Furia Ceca (The Czech Fury) — 'Furia Ceca' captured Nedved's tireless box-to-box engine; he won the 2003 Ballon d'Or but was suspended for the Champions League final Juve lost that year.
