Herman 10,933 Posted October 7, 2017 No 5. New City left back Eddy Roosevelt. (Had to look that one up. No 1 I can picture, and was a good player, but the name evades me at the moment.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can name the scorers and how many goals (and even who scored first and describe the goal in some detail); two of the clubs we signed them from, with an idea about the third; and one of the clubs we sold to afterwards, but no idea about the other two.

dylanisabaddog 5,775 Posted October 7, 2017 Thanks for the questions which have helped me through another boring international break. I have no idea who sang "you''re supposed to let us score". Does it come from the early 1990''s? Can I guess at Liverpool although it seems a bit too clever for them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He got himself stupidly sent off in one away game (which I think we went on to win) and I suspect that did for him as far as Worthington was concerned.Yes, The Kop etc.Cardiff and Sheffield United. The Norwich players said afterwards that the side they lost to in the semi-final, Luton, who were Division One but I think in the process of getting relegated, were the worst of those teams they played.Ron Davies.James Maddison. James Madison was the 4th President of the US.Bond and Brown, with sons Kevin and Kenny.Criterion Cafe, Coney''s posterior (from memory against Villa and possibly Spink the goalie whose clearance rebounded into the net. I can still see Coney wheeling around with a big grin on his face), Newmarket Road and the mad Swedish genius all correct. I did appreciate the van Wolfswinkel suggestion for the last question...[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,196 Posted October 8, 2017 I was being a bit literal, so in addition to Gunn we have Brown and Bond!!.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,196 Posted October 8, 2017 Purple - I was also at the game Coney scored, I think you are right when you say the ball came off Spink, and I was also at the Ajax friendly game, so I knew Zlatan scored. Totally wrong re Cross, would not have even guessed Davies (the other name I had considered was Hockey).......Not a bad stab for a middle aged git with a terrible memory, certainly not a pigs ear!!......
