Memory Lane Quiz - Southend's FA Cup Opponents

[Uncle Leo]

All,

I've just created this little quiz on Sporcle which will hopefully bring back some good memories (and no doubt plenty of bad ones)

By my reckoning, Southend United have had 180 FA Cup ties since joining the Football League in 1920 - you just need to name as many as possible.

If we have played a team more than once, then you only have to enter their name once for all the instances to appear, e.g. if we have played Melchester Rovers twice, then typing that will give you two correct answers.

Similarly, you only need to type the first name of a team. Typing in Melchester would be sufficient, but it will appear as Melchester Rovers.

So here's the link:

I'm expecting particularly good showings from DoDtS and Mick but not Cricko as he is such a youngster.

Post your (honest!) score on here, let's see who knows their history!

 

[BrettieAngell]

115/180

A few that I thought I had tried but hadn't and a couple that I thought about but didn't type! Annoyed I didn't get canvey.

 

[McNasty]

96 right. Don't think you could complete it all in 12 minutes.

 

[Shrimper]

135/180. Missed out on Barnet & Lincoln most notably but also missed the early ones such as London Paper Mills.

 

[Gt Yarmouth Shrimper]

104 in the time allowed. I suppose the secret is to go through the list and write them down before you start.
Put in one answer as its full name but it would not take it.

Which one was that?

I'll add a few minutes to the time, thanks for the feedback everyone.

Oh and by the way, you can rate the game out of five at the bottom of the quiz.

 

[DoDTS]

138 I picked up teams like Hednesford, Bath, Eccles, Corinthians etc but forgot about Chelsea.

Sums me up really

DoDtS

 

[canveyshrimper]

152/180 and it should have been 155, i didn't spot it hadn't picked up Spurs.

 

[fbm]

150 for me.

I feel a tad cheated though as I put in sheffield united but it didn't recognise it, so could have been 152... I also forgot Canvey!

:smile: I got Canvey at the last minute.

 

[BARNETBLUE]

118/180 average effort!

Are you sure? I've just checked the game data and it looks ok.

 

[Col.U. Mad]

180/180 :unsure:

 

[chadded]

130. Not bad it would seem.

 

[TrueBlue]

180/180 :unsure:

Please leave our forum

 

[Cricko]

124/180 in the time allocated.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

127/180 tried to do it from memory from matches I had either seen or read/heard about, rather than going through an A-Z list of clubs. Still forgot Northampton & the 4-4 is one of my all time favourite games!!

I probably misspelt it

 

[Blue_Wes]

120/180 - average.

Most recent tie I missed was Tranmere 01/02 season.

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

120, quite pleased, but kicking myself for missing Torquay.
