Question Club Records

[Medway Blue]

Are there any anoraks out there who know some of these records? They're the ones that the club doesn't bother to publish!

• Longest run without a win (league) (which season and games?)
• Most games without conceding a goal (league) (which season and games?)
• Most games without scoring a goal (league) (which season and games?)
• Youngest ever goalscorer (player + game and season)
• Oldest ever goalscorer (player + game and season)
• Most (league only) consecutive appearances (player, no. of apps, season and games)
• Most (overall) consecutive appearances (player, no. of appearances,season and games)

Any help given will be very much appreciated :)

Youngest goalscorer was Kightley, wasnt it? Or Spud?
Oldest goalscorer - Gooding?

This page will give you a good start...

 

[Shrimper]

Wasn't the longest run without a win in our championship season from the West Brom game to the Southampton game? Or was it vice versa?

 

[Napster]

OK, Gooding didn't score.

Not sure but I reckon that Lee Sawyer was younger than Spud or Kightly.

 

[Napster]

My guess is Shaun Goater, at the age of 34, against MK Dons, 18/3/2006.

But then, Buzz scored at the age of 38, in a 2-0 win at home to Scunthorpe, 23/3/2002.

 

[Shrimper]

Did Paul Furlong score for us?

 

[Medway Blue]

Newman is a good shout.

I thought Gooding did score 1 or 2 for us though?

Furlong never scored for us.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Wasn't the youngest James Lawson?

 

[Napster]

Not sure but I reckon that Lee Sawyer was younger than Spud or Kightly.

Sawyer was just 19 when he scored in the league. Spud was 18 (DOB 3/1/53) when he scored against Brentford on 6/3/1971.

 

[Napster]

Lawson was 18 when he scored, and 8 months. Spud beats him by 6 months

Sawyer was just 19 when he scored in the league. Spud was 18 (DOB 3/1/53) when he scored against Brentford on 6/3/1971.

..and I was at that game, good call Naps.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think Danny Webb was 17 when he first scored for us (away at Plymouth?), but I reckon we've had younger goalscorers - Bobby Kellard?

How old was Lee Chapman? Probably not as old as Newman.

Most games without conceding is bound to be the 1980/81 season as we set every defensive record going that year.

 

[Napster]

Kellard, DOB 1/3/43, scored his first goal in the league 11/2/61, at an age of 17 and 11 months.

Webb, DOB 2/7/83, scored his first league goal yes, away at Plymouth, in a 3-3 draw, on 24/4/2001, making him 17 and 9 months.

YB is right.

 

[Napster]

Most games without conceding is bound to be the 1980/81 season as we set every defensive record going that year.

In that season, we only managed 4 consecutive games without conceding though.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Kellard, DOB 1/3/43, scored his first goal in the league 11/2/61, at an age of 17 and 11 months.

Webb, DOB 2/7/83, scored his first league goal yes, away at Plymouth, in a 3-3 draw, on 24/4/2001, making him 17 and 9 months.

YB is right.

I'm not if Webb was younger than Kellard.

 

[Napster]

I'm not if Webb was younger than Kellard.

You were right to make the two choices, as they were both younger than what we already had.

Are there any anoraks out there who know some of these records? They're the ones that the club doesn't bother to publish!

• Longest run without a win (league) (which season and games?)
• Most games without conceding a goal (league) (which season and games?)
• Most games without scoring a goal (league) (which season and games?)
• Youngest ever goalscorer (player + game and season)
• Oldest ever goalscorer (player + game and season)
• Most (league only) consecutive appearances (player, no. of apps, season and games)
• Most (overall) consecutive appearances (player, no. of appearances,season and games)

Any help given will be very much appreciated :)

I presumed this is for the new FM game? I didn't get FM09 but did you get the highest transfer fee amended? It always bugs me when I see it as being Stan Collymore for £750k. I even saw that quoted on Soccerbase the other day!

 

[Medway Blue]

Wow, you guys are good :D

I think Chapman was 36 when he scored for us on loan.

So youngest scorer is Webb, oldest probably Newman. Longest winless run is almost certainly Championship season, and longest run without conceding is probably 1980-81.

Thanks for the help!

There's a couple of unresolved ones in the original post. If anyone has any ideas, let me know!
