The football trivia thread

[Craig 6700]

I hope you got Q9 right, Tom.

 

Shame the question maker didn't.

 

We didn't lose in that game against Millwall, we drew 1-1. Anderson scored a belter for us but most missed it as Mirandinha had just appeared in the Milburn.

[Craig 6700]

And the stupid twat reckons Dave Mitchell scored for us against Swindon. It was Blackburn!! (That's the magic of Mitchell).

 

He scored for Swindon against us IIRC.

Aye header at the Gallowgate that bounced about 5 times before it went in. I've mentioned That The Magic of Mitchell before on here I think, hilarious looking back.

That third kit was awful.

 

 

At home.....in pristine condition.

[Tom 14013]

I had it when I was young, I loved it

[Craig 6700]

Had it been yellow stripes instead of blue it'd have been spot on IMO.

I liked it anyway me. The worst one was that blue and orange one we wore when we lost 4-1 at Leeds.

[Guest alex]

[ewerk 31218]

A friend of my parents bought me the scarf version of that for Christmas that year. Still got it somewhere. Absolutely dreadful.

I was never a fan of that top in your avatar, Jill.

Reminds me of a happy 3-1 win at Bolton to be fair. I know where you're coming from, but no where near our 10 worst shirts ever.

Reminds me of an away game at Hillsborough. Could've been the first away of the season? Ginola scored at the Kop end?

My memory could be playing tricks on me though.

 

Got that shirt at home and the shorts (love them; great quality and great colour) I've actually got them here with me.

Not in the least bit surprised you liked the shorts colour Snakey. Hide the stains well?

I say! What about my recollections? Am I a McFaul or a Deano ?

[Guest alex]

Snakey taking the 'football trivia' thing too literally

I bought a quiz book on NUFC at the market last week. It was printed in the 80's but has hundreds of questions.

 

Is anyone interested if I put some up ? Or maybe this could be a thread on its own ?

[Craig 6700]

Might as well keep them in here. Stick some up

All Craig's answers are right apart from number 8. Bogie's first goal was against Shrewsbury in the Simod Cup, Dina got a last minute winner, and I remember it cos it was the lowest crowd I've ever been part of at SJP, was in the Paddock with me dad they were building the Milburn behind and it fuckin pissed it doon.
