Sorry, people, didn’t think I was right and I’ve been too busy to check until now! When we reached the play-off final ten years ago, we had scored 85 goals in the league. Which was the only league side that year to score more?
By 'league side' I'm assuming you mean EFL - in which case, Port Vale, who scored 87. But if you include EPL - there was also Man.Utd, who scored 86. If only we hadn't lost our last match at home to Leeds - or hadn't dropped 8 points away to the 3 relegated teams...
Cheers andy. Sticking with the football theme, which missing trophy was found last month, leading to calls for a competition to be resurrected?
Yes - the ANZAC trophy known as the Soccer Ashes, a small, hand-carved wooden box containing the ashes of two cigars smoked by the captains of Australia and New Zealand after their first 'A' international match on Australian soil in June,1923. it was played for on an annual basis until it disappeared in 1954 - and was found this year in a garage belonging to former Australian Soccer Football Association chairman Sydney Storey who died during the pandemic. Over to you.
You have it. This was the season that the club almost finished up in the hands of Robert Maxwell. All yours.
Cheers frenchie. A quickie whilst I'm off shopping... In which sport are teams awarded points for not playing - and why?
