It’s been a good while since we rolled out a Glory Quiz; possibly not since COVID-19 was at its height, in fact.
So consider this latest offering a little brain-cells check-up, just to see how you’re ticking along.
Once you’ve had a crack at the ten teasers we’ve compiled about Glory’s British and Irish connections, scroll down for the answers and results ratings and feel free to share your score on our social media platforms.

Glory Grammar Ratings Report Card
0-3 – Dear, oh dear. Someone’s too cool for Glory school aren’t they? We’re sending you for detention with a very angry Steve McMahon. That’s Mr McMahon to you.
3-6 – A pass mark, a decent effort.
You might get a half-smile from Ian Ferguson.
But it’s still Mr Ferguson to you.
7-10 – Rule Britannia and Come on you Boys in Green!
A superb effort which gives you the right to feel overwhelmingly self-satisfied for at least the next ten minutes.
Kenny Lowe is bringing tea and crumpets into class to celebrate!
