Was the youth keeper 'Donkey' Holbrook, so called for the obvious reason that only those who showered together may remark upon ?

The Everton player .... possibly Brian Kidd ?

Communal showers & bath I'm afraid, though I did tend to wait back, slow to change and careful with where I held the towel.

I won't bother putting any questions up...

[ChrisC]

Pointless doing these questions online Most will just use Google for the answers..

Wow! just discovered this (fairly) interesting question in The Times FinkTank section from a few weeks back.

Q) which current player has the highest goals to playing time record in the Premiership?

Klasnic I'd reckon. I'd wager Sturridge's is pretty fecking good though. He's really impressed me this season. Didn't think he'd make it at Chelsea. Don't think he's as good as our Jack though.

Cheeky shout on this question after this weekend though, second coolest named player in the league...Apostelos Velios? Born 1992, the cnut.

Also, another, related question: The first coolest named player in the league?

In one.

Young keeper was a lad called Andy Slack.

It was Sutton Coldfield Town, not Solihull (I always mix the two up), was the third Emley?

Still stuck on the Everton player. Brian Borrows?

It could have been our Mexican superstar who I think scored his 2 quicker than Klasnic gets his...

That said, I suspect there would have to be a minimum number of goals to qualify, otherwise I'm sure we'd find someone who came on as sub, bagged one and never got seen again.

[Prufrock]

Aye I was trying to think about one goal wonders. Do you mean Borghetti? I know he didn't start a lot but I'd be surprised if he didn't play 15-20 games for those two goals, and there were a few starts thrown in there.

[Prufrock]

Vellios gets a goal every 29 mins!
