October 2000
Andrew Vause has written a couple of times. Andrew has
informed me of of one further Next Generation star - Neil
Clement of West Brom,son of Dave Clement (QPR) who sadly died in 1982.
Andrew also became the first person to EVER write an
answer to the quiz. It's only been there for two months,
so I can see no-one's in a hurry. I should have the next
quiz up by the time you're reading this, so here's
Andrew's answers -
1.Peter " the brothel creeper" Storey
2. Gordon Banks
3.
Alan Gowling
4.Panathiniakos
won on away goals
5.Fith
round ( flaming Ray Crawford !!!!!)
6.First
England v Malta game ( I seem to remember we even won!)
7.
Bob Stokoe ( I dont know which club he came from but I
certainly remember the sod later!)
8.Big Mal ( yet another coach to haunt us in the cup in
the seventies)
9. Ibrox
10.The
facts and figures for the match seem correct, however
wasn't the league cup final played on a Saturday in
the seventies.
Excellent ! Well done Andrew 100 per cent for
the 9 you answered ! No.7 Bob Stokoe came from Carlisle.
Paul Graves wanted to ask me his quiz
questions...
I am doing a
football quiz and have two very tricky questions which I
hope that you might be able to answer as I have browsed
your excellent website and you have info on the things
that I need.
The
1st question is: How many clean sheets did Peter Shilton
keep for England? And the 2nd: Which player was on the
cover of the first edition of Shoot! magazine? I would be extremely
grateful if you knew the answer to any of these
questions.
Paul
Graves
Well Bobby Moore was featured on the first ever
cover for Shoot! magazine.
As it happens I now
know Peter Shilton kept 66 clean sheets for England - 31 more than
his nearest rival Gordon Banks.
Jim Ross has sent me loads and loads of interesting stuff
which I have been slowly making available on these pages,
thanks VERY much for that Jim. Amongst Jim's Gems were a
couple of adverts for football boots. Jim writes :
Check out the boots
on Denis Law. Denis had a contract to wear
Mitre boots, but he hated Mitres, so Mitre let him wear
Adidas as long as nobody could tell the were NOT Mitre.
See this advert and a brochure of Gola boots at
the new 70-71 related page Football Boots !
Jim also sent a picture of the
June 1970 edition of 'Charles Buchan's Football Monthly' and the 1970-71 'Topical Times' annual. Click to see these and some
further editions.
Joanne Hill wrote asking :
We have a
question in our office which no-one answer, and we
wondered if you could. In his England career, Peter
Shilton
saved one penalty - taken by who? We would appreciate if
you could let us know before 4pm today whether or not you
know the answer, and thank you greatly in anticipation. Joanne Hill
Well, I could ...
Shilton saved a penalty taken by Brehme of West Germany
on the 12th of June 1985. England won 3-0.
I would like to take full credit for this fabulous bit of
inspired knowledge ... but in actual fact I lifted the
information directly from England question & answers. I guess the question is doing
the office rounds at the moment.
John Foley : succinctly commented :
Bob, Saints' current
record home attendance is 31,044! John Foley
(See
Southampton)
Well, this site isn't actually interested in the
current record - but the record in 1970-71 season
(obviously) as printed in the World of Soccer Stars
album. Just as I was about to tell John this, I went to
the trouble of looking it up in the Rothmans Football
Yearbook. And John is right, this IS the current record,
but it was set in 1969 - which means that the World of
Soccer Stars had not updated their records. The
total was achieved versus Manchester United in (the old)
Division One 8 October, 1969.
I wrote back to John
pointing out that the increased total was still rubbish
anyway to which he replied (quite rightly, again) ...
...but it's quality,
not quantity, that counts, eh?! (Like our seasonal points
tallies!)
Cheers John.
Helen Jerome wrote to point out the further reletives
of
Tony Currie - Sheff Utd
etc flamboyant 70s star
nephew: Darren Currie - Barnet ace winger today
Cousins:
Steve Bull
Gary Bull - ex-Barnet
Brothers:
Glenn Hoddle
Carl Hoddle ex-Barnet
For which many thanks. Tony and
Darren Currie are already on the site and Darren often
has updates in the Next Generation news. The Bulls and
Hoddles don't qualify for Bob's 70-71 pages as far as I'm
aware - but again, many thanks for getting in touch with
the information.
