Paul O'Connell comes up with one of the greatest ever sports quiz show answers

Comments

Former Ireland legend Paul O'Connell came up with an unbelievable answer to a question on BBC's long running quiz show, A Question of Sport. From just two letters out of 23, O'Connell and his team were asked to come up with the answer to a seemingly impossible question.

"Anything to do with sport," host Sue Barker explained. "It could be a venue, a person, a team, a sporting term. Good luck.. or do you want to move on?"

The man known as POC then miraculously produced the answer, one that will go down as one of the greatest moments ever in the history of the show, that has been running since 1968.

Borussia Monchengladbach, of course. What a legend.

    I and G! Let the other letters know you're there! This is your board and you're not going to be pushed around!

    The little half-smile on his face as he's saying Borussia Munchengladbach... he's being humble but he knows full well he's nailed it and is really proud of himself. Debating point, does this put him ahead of Adam Jones in the all time great rugby player appearances on QoS??

    Awesome! Funny to see him counting the letters to see if the G sat in the right place.
