I'm making a complaint to the consumer watchdog. The title on this thread says boredom relieving... it does not do what it says on the tin

Correct, stood right behind the goal in utter disbelief he did that especially in the last minute of the game?

 

Chris woods career ended by a shoulder injury?

Where did Saints do their pre-season training from 67-73? McMenemy changed it after he became Manager.

 

 

 

 

 

I posed this question after getting the "Matt Oakley* one right. (See post 138)

 

Still to be answered.

Much as I'd like to know where we preseasoned in the sixties, or what Pilchards means by JVC (as in the ex Arsenal sponsor?), I'm stumped. I know I'm out of turn, but seen as nothing has happened in 40 mins, can I ask the following question(s)?

 

Charlie Wayman holds the record for most goals per appearance for Saints with 77 goals in 107 games (a ratio of a goal every 0.72 games (all comps)). Out of the players who scored more than thirty goals for Southampton, who:

 

a) has the lowest goals per game ratio?

 

b) has the highest goals per game ratio in the last 40 years?

(Both only including players who scored more than 30 goals for Saints... so not Claus or Benali... )

Highest: Rickie Lambert

Lowest: Matt Oakley

 

Lambert is correct at 0.62 goals per game (36 in 58 ). He is currently 6th in the all time goals per game (for Southampton players with more than 30 goals), behind:

 

Wayman (1947-50) with 77 in 107 (0.72)

Haines (1928-32) with 47 in 71 (0.66)

Drake (1931-34) with 48 in 74 (0.65)

O'Brien (1959-66) with 180 in 281 (0.64)

Milward (1899-1901) with 40 in 63 (0.63)

 

Oakley is a good call. His 20 goals in 310 games give an ratio of 0.06 goals per game. He hasn't scored 30 goals so I dismissed him from the calculations...

 

... but I'll let you have it, as Oakley does have much worse stats than the answer I was looking for, John Sydenham, whose 40 goals from 402 games gives him a ratio of 0.099 goals per game.

Best= Lambert followed by Kevin Keegan

Worst= Glenn ****erill

 

Close. Glenn's 39 in 358 (0.108 ) came second to Sydenham's record (see above)

 

Keegan's 0.525 (42 in 80 games) comes third in the last 40 years. Ron Davies (left in 1973) just pips Keegan with 153 in 281 (or 0.544 goals per game). Keegan ends up with the 15th highest goals to games ratio of all Saints players scoring more than 30 goals.

has the highest goals per game ratio in the last 40 years?

 

Davies and Sydenham's records in the last 40 years don't put them top of the lists and that's what the question says.

Name the Southampton players that have been part of the England world cup squad since and including 1966. Pointless i know because everyone will just go straight to google.

 

Good question and without googling, a few come to mind - Terry Paine, (but sadly never Mick Channon or MLT), Peter Shilton, Dave Watson & Wayne Bridge, but I can't think of many more.

 

If I'm right, here's a question.

Which goalkeeper, other than Dave Beasant, famous for his cup final performance, played briefly for Saints?

Think 1970's. Very famous goalkeeping display, particularly one memorable double save.

Whilst I'm happy to be in third place, I'm setting up a dubious quiz panel to do some undercover snooping to find out why the creator of the quiz is currently in first place. :-)

:cool:

 

Come on Appy/Sidthesquid.

 

First of you two to post the next question continues the official line. Remember the rules, you can only post a question after answering one right.... hence how it's kinda split here due to a question just being spontaneously added..

I think the new ad-hoc rule should be that if you don't post a question within 30 minutes of answering the last one correctly, then the first new question to be asked by anyone is accepted as the new question (due to people going offline for a while). Colin, what do you reckon? Keeps it flowing!

 

(Or has muscleing in on your game docked me points? :-))

Yeah, nice idea! The poster of this new question must say that they have invoked this rule and if there is more then one person claiming I get the final say over the 'official line.' - My thread my rules. ;)

A few games. It was in the noughties.

Indeed The noughties was 2000-2009. We were relegated in 2005.

 

A hat-trick on their debut, against us, in the Premiership, in the 2000-2005 time frame. Should know this.....
