Ipswich?

Ipswich?

Nope

Tough.

 

But to narrow it down, its from either 80/1 or 81/2

 

I don't think it'd be Ipswich therefore.

West Ham?

Villa ?

Chelsea?

Newcastle at home. Kidd hat trick? August 1980?

Everton?

Newcastle at home. Kidd hat trick? August 1980?

Not a bad shout.

Forest?

Newcastle ?

80/81 season, surely?

 

Whatmore's first spell.

I would suggest Blackburn but that's not how the 'Frans' who played for them would be spelt.

It's Newcastle, they had a Dutch player called Frans Konen or something similar in 1980.

You're right. Frans Koenen. Listed as one of the worst 50 Newcastle players of all time. It's no wonder i'd never heard of him!

Gateshead?

Gateshead?

 

You're on the right lines but wrong team.

Didn't they buy home because they saw him on MotD playing in the cup for Blyth Spartans?

Yes! He was part of the Blyth Spartans team that had that amazing run in the F.A. Cup. They eventually lost to Wrexham in a replay at St james' Park in front of a crowd of around 50,000.

So, 3 of their 50 worst played in that game!

 

Megson's in there as well!

And TC.

And Mike Jeffrey.
