David Beckham - Yes - for Manure
Bobby Charlton - Yes - for Preston NE
Rodney Marsh - Don't know. Did we play QPR much in the sixties?? Could we have played Fulham when he went there? Don't remember us doing that
Denis Law - Yes, for Huddersfield
Trevor Brooking - Yes - for West am in Diviion 2
Jimmy Greaves - Not unless it was when he was playoing for Barnet surely
Bryan Robson - Can't recall. Might have played for West Brom. Don't remember him playing for Manure. Used to be Remi Moses
Peter Shilton - yes - although all he did was fail yto get anywhere near gary Williams screamer
Kevin Beattie - don't think so
Bobby Moore - don't think so
George Cohen- don't know - did we play Fulham much then


Subs:

Gordon Banks - don't think so
Martin Peters - played for Norwich
Ivor Allchurch - no idea
Liam Brady - did he play at the Goldstone -= we played arsenal loads of times in the first few years of Div 1 and usually got beat 4-0
Brain Clough - no such player. Brian didn't and the nearest Nigel got was sitting on the bench next to his dad as we conceded 8 to Bristol Rovers on national TV!!
Johnny Haynes - be suprised - Fulham were first division and haynes was the highest paid player in the country.
Danny Blanchflower

Well played. I did not know all the amswers. I did not know Denis Law played at the Goldstone.

Rodney Marsh was probably the most memorable.
Greavsie didn't. If it had been a testimonial, I'm sure I would have gone.

Kevin Beattie was very impressive. But this must have been away.

Brian Clough

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

which club finished top scorers with 80 goals in the old 1st division,but still got relegated?

 

[kevo]

What record does George Robb hold playing for England v Hungary in 1953?

Only player to win his sole England cap in a home defeat - or only player to play for England once and never again be selected for the squad?

Is it Manchester city

Brian Clough

Clough famously scored five against us in a 9-0 defeat at Middlesbrough on the opening day of the 58/59 season - did he play in the return match? We would have played Boro the following three seasons too (not sure if Clough had moved on by then tho)

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Is it Manchester city

yep! 37-38 season

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Was George Robb the goalkeeper who conceded most goals in a England match, when Hungary gave us a tanking?

No, that was Gil Merrick. George Robb was the last amateur to play for England, I think.

False memory syndrome. We lost 4-0 at home to Arsenal in our Div One debut (and by the same score in a League Cup replay), but our results against them in the league improved steadily until we actually won successive league games against them: 0-4 (h), 0-3 (a), 0-2 (a), 0-1 (h), 0-0 (a), 2-1 (h), 1-0 (h), 1-3 (a).

We played them five times in 1979-80, losing both league games, drawing 0-0 at the Goldstone in the League Cup before losing that replay, and losing 2-0 at Highbury in the FA Cup.
