Andy Goram actually played Cricket for England and Football for Scotland - not both for Scotland

Michael Garthwaite (quiz author) said:

Andy Goram did not play FOR England but he did play club cricket in Lancashire in the Oldham area. Goram represented the Scottish cricket team four times: twice (1989 and 1991) in the annual first-class game against Ireland and twice (again in 1989 and 1991) in the NatWest Trophy.

The scoring system for figure skating changed in 2004. There is now no upper limit to what a judge can give - an excellent performance would draw 15-16 points.
