Oh Louie louie Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I got two questions on city, I let the side down, I couldn't answer both, question one which ex player scored his first goal at Ashton gate for his club, well technically not playing for the home or away club??? Well that one threw me, the second was easy, but my train of thought had gone, who was the last player to play for city and be in the Guinness book of records?

Oh Louie louie Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Nope Bromley ones a striker, others a midfielder, not many clubs borrowed our ground to play fixtures over the years, the Guinness book of records guy was some player in his short spell here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 They are really obscure. I doubt many on here could even have a decent guess, I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Just thinking on the first one - could that be the Torquay keeper who scored in the National League playoff final? Neither side were technically home or away and it was definitely his first. And Matthew Briggs, youngest PL footballer for Fulham still held the record while on loan at us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’m not sure I understand the wording for the 1st question. Is it which ex City player scored his first goal at Ashton Gate while technically not being a home or away team? Would suggest a neutral venue so maybe an u21 or younger international game? What ex youth internationals have we signed? Tammy maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Indeed Eddie, normally I get a lift to the robin's, got dumped on west street with a dubious excuse last night, think my captaincy is on the line tbh, think of a game we hosted in the 80s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time he played for us he held the record of youngest ever PL player, which is in Guinness, and he post dated Allen’s spell with us.

Oh Louie louie Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Paul Allen's the player, and the striker question who scored his first goal at Ashton gate for his club, while technically not being the home or away club was even more annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 No grifty was a game our ground was used for a neutral venue, and this player scored his first goal for his club in this game, not going to ring him now silv, but I will bring this up at the next quiz, and demand a stewards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in which case one possible answer (and the most recent answer) is indeed the Torquay GK. No neutral games have been played at AG since. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_National_League_play-off_final So, it seems the quizmaster, and not you, had a bad night at the quiz as he was wrong on both!
