Football fans can’t believe the 5% question on The 1% Club that so many people got wrong
Football fans were left stunned by a question on the popular ITV show ‘The 1% Club’.
The episode was aired by ITV on Tuesday, and viewers were left baffled by the ‘five percent’ question.
If you are not familiar with the show, hosted by comedian Lee Mack, the rules are summed up below.
According to the Radio Times, “[Episodes] start with 100 contestants hoping to walk away with £100,000, but as the questions become harder, their numbers will dwindle, until the remaining quizzers answer a question that only one per cent of the country got right in the final round.

“Every episode starts with the 100 contestants being given a question that 90 per cent of country answered correctly – those who get the question right move onto the next round, whereas for every contestant who answers incorrectly, £1000 is added to the prize pot.
“Each round gets progressively harder, moving on from a 90 per cent question to an 80 per cent one, 50 per cent and eventually a one per cent question.
“If just one contestant remains and they correctly answer the one percent question, they take home the £100,000 prize pot.”
Now that the rules are clear, let’s see if you can get the answer to the question.
“What quote is being represented here?” read the question.
It was then followed by various football results.
“Brighton 4-1 Luton
“West Ham 4-1 Millwall
“Newcastle 4-1 Rochdale.”
At first glance, you may be struggling to see how the scores can relate to a quote.
Several fans voiced their thoughts on social media, with many amused by some of their rivals being the wrong end of 4-1 score lines.
Given the fact this was a ‘five percent’ question, it is considered relatively difficult to work out.
But viewers were also shown the scoreline “Chelsea 4-4 Man Utd”, which threw a spanner in the works.
One fan was quick to reveal the answer; they said: “All for 1 and one 4 all.”
A West Ham fan could not help but notice his side’s ‘victory’ over arch-rivals Millwall, they added: “We thrashed Millwall is the correct answer.”
A third joked: “Man united are s***e.”
Another Hammers fan commented: “East London is wonderful...”
A fifth said: "'All for one and one for all' from The Three Musketeers.”
A sixth exclaimed: “We are not in the title race, we like winning games.”
