Correct. I think it was the captain's choice and everyone else had to follow suit.

Wasn't sure the exact rule but that makes sense.

No swapping shorts at half time!!

players had to copy the captain

captain wears long sleeve so does the players, captain wears short sleaves then team wears short too

Dead easy! I will take a wild guess at 1920.

You are an encyclopedia of footy trivia. A genius in football facts.

 

It was 1920/21 season. It was to be Bradford Park Avenue's last year in the top flight. Bradford City were in the EPL as recently as 2000/2001. Unfortunately relegated, alongside Man City and Coventry, with a miserable total of just 5 wins in the season.

 

There is a little debate that Bradford Park Avenue Association Football Club is one of the longest names in English football. However, there are some that say the 'Park Avenue' part should be put into brackets; as in (Park Avenue). Making their name even longer.

It really was a guess. I thought it might be something like the 100th anniversary of the event, so picked 1920, I was a year out.

I worked in Bradford for a few years and the old Park Avenue ground has long gone, as well as the cricket ground next door where Yorkshire would sometimes play. The new ground, an athletics stadium, was close by where I worked.

Derby County. About 2007.

The one with the lowest -and- stayed in were the West Brom in season 2005.

Wilai was spot on.

 

A very poor 11 points for Derby in season 2007/08. Their only win in that season was against Newcastle early on in September (17th).

 

Low points league:

 

07/08 - 11 - Derby

05/06 - 15 - Sunderland

18/19  - 16 - Huddersfield

15/16 - 17 - Villa

09/10 - 19 - Portsmouth

02/03 - 19 - Sunderland

Nope....closer though.

While I'm trying to suss out the 'perfect hat-trick' guy, I'll just clear my word-pad.

 

Been putting EPL draws into my data-base, and came across a couple of interesting stats.

 

In 1996/97 only Spurs didn't get into double figures in draws (7). And more recently, 2018/19 only Saints got into double figures (12).

 

Must be Jimmy Floyd Hassilbank.

Clue....ex Man Utd but hat trick was for somebody else.

Mark Robins for Norwich. At Arsenal? First clue was a big help. I narrowed it down to 2.

Doing a cracking job as Coventry boss. Two promotions and an EFL Trophy.

West Ham went down with 42 points in 2002/03. Not a fair footy world.

So did Bolton in 97/98 on goal difference.

You are spot on. Bolton and Everton both on 40 points. Only a 5 goal difference.
