Heard this today which if accurate might be the most useless stat in the history of football stats.

The two professional teams who have played the most often at senior level without their ever being a draw between them but with both teams winning at least once played on Wednesday night who are they?

Note its not the teams that have gone the most games without a draw ever its just the two teams who hold the record at the minute.

I havent checked the accuracy of the stat and I am relaying on Talk Sport being right on this

Sorry. Two teams played each other last night for the 16th time. None of those matches has ever ended in a draw but both teams have won at least once. That is apparently the current world record for any fixture involving professional teams. Who are the two teams?

NI v Faroes?
The match over in the Faroe Islands ended in a 1-1 draw so that rules that out

I think it's Scotland and Denmark but according to the BBC last night was their 15th meeting.  But they have never drawn.

Correct.  I thought TalkSport had said 15 previous meetings without a draw but they must have said that last night was there 15th meeting and no previous meeting has ended in a draw which is a world record for two professional teams when both teams have won at least once in that time.

England Ince - United, Inter, Laiverpool?

They were stripped of their league title not the European Cup.

The answers I gave were valid but with Inter winning two years ago and Keane then playing for Celtic a few years ago there are now a few right answers.

Very well. Did you watch the live stream. Made a comment on the forest thread. Was gutted, County played better and beaten by two wonder goals, mcgugan free kick was great, morgan will never get as lucky again.

Keane, McInally,Hughes and Owen were the 4 I had in mind.

For bonus points name a Portugese,Italian, Swede (at least 2)and Dutchman (at least 2) who have done the same. Can't think of a French or Spanish player.

Ireland - Cas - Celtic, Villa & Marseille
Scotland - Alan McInally - Munich, Celtic & Villa
