@micra I get picked up on that too. Apparently "I was stood there" means someone put you there so "I was standing there" would be correct in this instance (assuming you weren't put there against your will!)
My apologies for being a bit out of touch - was the "shape of the goal", as it were, the answer to the quiz question then? I have rather lost my way with this one.
@Cyclops - That's essentially it. Last goal scored in the old stanchion nets before the new-fangled box nets came in. I wasn't lying when I said it was prosaic...
