Wycombe under O'Neill? Or did they just get promoted through the leagues under him.

That's the one!

Whilst browsing for info on this one :thumbup: , I realised Redknapp is the 9th longest serving manager in the top 4 divisions. Considering we've only had him 3 and a half years that is pretty incredible.

2. Greaves, Smith, Lineker, Sheringham?

2. Smith, Greaves, Chilvers, Sheringham, Dimmock and...Defoe? surely not...

Jimmy Greaves - 12 hattricks and 3 times four goals (15)
Bobby Smith - 7 hattricks and 4 times four goals (11)

Lineker only got 3 (+1 four goals), Teddy 3, Chivers 6, Dimmock 1.... and Defoe 3 (+1 five goals)

Still 3 left. Two are from the 30s.... one is from the 60s!

YidoBuckler said:
3 Friedel, BAE, Walker, Modric, Kaboul, Parker?

You got one wrong... and telling you which one makes it too easy ;)

Joint effort. All correct.

Dannyboy said:
5. Paul Allen, Paul Stewart and Mitchell Thomas

I think we beat Everton 2-1?

We did beat Everton 2-1 that year but wrong game. Allen and Stewart are correct. Thomas played in the Everton game but not the game in question.

Yes, I asked Lexis-Nexis.

Soccer: Slick Everton nick it - Everton 2, Tottenham Hotspur 1

BYLINE: By CYNTHIA BATEMAN

LENGTH: 343 words

SHELL were not the only ones with a slick on their hands on Merseyside last night. Tottenham found Everton a slippery proposition.

The Londoners fell foul of an early goal from the Pounds 1.1 million recruit Mike Newell. They equalised through Allen in the first half, but were beaten in spite of late superiority by a set of intricate manoeuvres that resulted in a Sheedy winner in the 70th minute.

At the start of the game Everton broke out of the trap with the gusto of a typhoon and blew through Tottenham's defence in 1min 37sec. It looked, though only briefly, as though Spurs might be overwhelmed.

Within 20 minutes the Goodison Park crowd saw a goal at the other end and a hatful of missed chances by both sides. Whiteside was striking haymakers and Lineker missed two crosses by the width of a bootlace.

A Pointon free kick over the head of Sharp and falling to Everton's new signing Newell, chosen in preference to Cottee, gave Everton the lead. Newell beat Butters, skipped round Thorsvedt and tucked the ball into an open goal.

Spurs retaliated. Allen poached a Gascoigne cross from in front of Ratcliffe's toe to equalise after 20 minutes.

Whiteside and Gascoigne collected their second bookings in two games, and Newell was fortunate only to be cautioned for felling Gascoigne.

Everton had twice come close to taking the lead at the restart but Howells proved to be more accurate, forcing Southall into a fingertip save. But a classic combination begun by Sharp and executed by Nevin and Snodin set Sheedy up beautifully in front of goal and he struck powerfully from 10 yards to give Everton the lead.

Everton: Southall; Snodin, Pointon, Ratcliffe, Watson, Whiteside, Nevin, McCall, Sharp, Newell, Sheedy.

Tottenham: Thorstvedt; Butters, Stevens, Fenwick, Allen, Mabbutt, Sedgley, Gascoigne, Stewart, Lineker, Howells.

Referee: G Ashby (Worcester).

Tottenham left Goodison with no points but with hopes of a new defender, Everton's Pat Van Den Hauwe. They are said to have offered Pounds 600,000.
