M42Owl Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Everyone gone off line, down the pub, or is the quiz too easy? Correct answers so far. Stan Mortensen. Incidentally, winners Blackpool beat Wednesday at Hillsborough in the 3rd round. The “White Horse” final in 1923 (first at Wembley). Twice. Boxing Day 2012: 1-0 (Sidibe) & 12/3/19: 2-0 (My source suggests Fletcher only got one). Played 9 (2-4-3) including one league cup defeat. Paul Warhurst Sherpa Van. Gary Megson. Kevin Davies. He is the only one not to play for Sheffield United although he was at the club’s academy. I’ll reveal the final three answers before setting off to Bolton in the morning if they haven’t already been identified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheat Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 9. Nat Lofthouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M42Owl Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 9. Lofthouse correct. 30 goals in 33 appearances. 4. Looking at the date of the second win, I guess Bruce was the manager at the time. We’ve had so many I’m losing track. The second scorer though was a Bruce signing. I think, like Sidibe, he’s a one goal Wednesday wonder.

Probably would've preferred Gardner staying fit in all honesty. As good a player as Loovens was, I always saw him as a bit of a blouse. Christophe Berra was the same at Hearts. Got shoved off the ball way too many times over the years. Spoiled all their other (very) good work. Both were model professionals though, and excellent club servants 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
