[tonyav]

Quite amusing to watch:

Guinness book of records has a good story! 149-0 in a protest against a ref

[AlwaysConfused]

[tonyav]

Yes Tilly, he had a nightmare of a match. Happens to most players at sometime or other though.

[zabado]

Thanks for your answer A C. But does anyone know the most own goals in a "normal" (non-protest game) and in the English or Scotish league ?.
Thanks.

Frank Sinclair was a regular on the scoresheet at the wrong end, but I don't know if he ever managed a hat-trick?

[ichkeria]

Yes!

Great name, too.
Playing for Aston Villa, N. Ireland player Chris Nicholl scored all the goals in a 2-2 draw with Leicester in 1976.

[Duncer]

Did Chris Nicholl score in a league cup final, possibly a replay at Old Trafford, or is my aging mind playing tricks on me?

[tonyav]

I was at that match ichkeria.

[ichkeria]

The Villa game presumably tonyav? :-)

[tonyav]

Yes. :-)

[ichkeria]

Duncer, you're not going senile yet:
From wikipedia, about the 1977 League Cup Final, replayed for the second time at Old Trafford
Aston Ville 3, Everton 2
"The game is probably best remembered for a 40-yard goal from Villa centre-half Chris Nicholl."

[Duncer]

I thought I had watched that game when I was still living in my mother's house, but it is all so long ago. I also remember Brian Little's very long hair, and perhaps a very young Gordon Cowans?

[ichkeria]

Those were the days, when we remembered players by their hairstyles!

[tonyav]

Do you remember Brian littles brother Alan ?.

[Duncer]

Was he his little brother?

[Duncer]

"Those were the days, when we remembered players by their hairstyles!"

..............and beards. Trevor Hocky springs to mind.
