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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy bonuses for the season and points total. Clue: It wasn't Bolton (take note, Rick ????). 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
