I'll do the "oldies" one and leave the rest. Arthur Williamson and wasn't it 229 games ?

I did check and double-check; but you are right with Williamson - an amazing feat for an outfield player. What was he like as a player? I know Sandy Anderson was his replacement.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

1. Arthur Williamson
2. Micky Engwell
3. Paul Sansome
4. Ian Benjamin
5. 35
6. £600,000

4 right....not bad.

8 - Simon Royce (perhaps)
9 - was it Trevor Fitzpatrick?
10 - Gary Moore

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Barry Fry's signings:

Gary Poole £350,000
Jason Lee £150,000
Tommy Mooney £100,000
Ricky Otto £100,000
Graham Bressington £50,000
Gary Jones £25,000
Mickey Bodley, Jonathan Hunt, David Howell - did a Barrett/McCormack from Barnet

So I reckon that's £775,000 but the tax-manyou may have a different figure.


Don't know 2 and 10, but I think I know most of the rest.

I believe number 8 was either Robert Mugabe or Vladimir Putin.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Just checked the answer to Question 4 and the correct player actually scored in 3 consecutive games & not 2. Not that it would have made any difference to my answer.

 

[Napster]

8 - Simon Royce (perhaps)
9 - was it Trevor Fitzpatrick?
10 - Gary Moore

One of those was right.

Poole was £400,000, so £50k out. Number 8 is still amazing.

Number 8 - Keith Dublin?

 

[C C Csiders]

If #8 is amazing it's going to be someone crap (they all were by and large) like Andy Harris or Paul Williams. Julian Hails won it once, but I would imagine that was the season after in Div 3 with Alvin Martian.

 

[fbm]

POTY - was it Mark Beard? That's the most amazing POTY I can recall

 

[Mick]

I think it was about 30 players but there were some real shockers: Southall, N'Diaye, Parris, Dublin, Beard ... the list is endless.

 

[Napster]

It was good old Dubbers.

 

[Napster]

still waiting for 4, 5 and 10.

No. 9 is definitely Trevor Fitzpatrick.

No.8 I want to say Mike Marsh

Edit: The problem with replying at work is the time elapse between pressing reply and submiting the reply is long enough for all the question to be answered.

still waiting for 4, 5 and 10.

Tilly with a run of 4 goals in 5 games.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Was it 34 players we used in 97/98?

However many (and it was a lot), it was a club record.

Shall we see if we can name them?

 

[Mick]

Number 10 was Bobby Gilfillan. A memorable match.

Think Crown got an "aggregate" hat-trick over two legs of a League Cup game, but I guess that doesn't count.
