On this day

[Herts Clarets]

Our journey back in time is a shorter one today, taking us to November 1998 and a day which saw The Clarets on the receiving end of a 5-0 hammering from Bournemouth. Elsewhere across the country, players with a link to our club were having a more successful day and finding themselves on the scoresheet for their respective clubs. But from the list of clubs, can you work out who the scorers were: To help out, Steve Taylor doesn't feature today!

Manchester United
Huddersfield Town
Bradford City
Norwich City
Watford
Luton Town
Scarborough
Scunthorpe United

[claretonthecoast1882]

Man Utd - Steve Taylor or Andy Cole
Hudds
Brad
Norwich - Bellamy ?
Watford - Noel Williams
Luton - Alexander ?
Scarboro
Scunny

[Dark Cloud]

Watford - Dyche
Scunthorpe - Grezza
Bradford - Blake

[Herts Clarets]

Correct so far:

Manchester United Andy Cole
Huddersfield Town
Bradford City Robbie Blake
Norwich City Craig Bellamy
Watford Noel Williams
Luton Town
Scarborough
Scunthorpe United

Not Davis or Grezza for Luton

I’ve had the benefit of seeing the FB post, for one reason or another I got invited to Villa Park to an absolute belter of a game with Liverpool, 2-4, seem to recall the visiting fans enjoyed giving Stan Collymore plenty of stick.

A couple of clues, the Luton player didn’t play many for us but I think he scored on debut.

Scarborough, has worked on Radio Lancs. I would never have got that one.

Your user name provided a big clue for the Luton player.........Phil Gray?

[Herts Clarets]

Phil Gray is the Luton player, leaving still to guess:

Scunthorpe United
Scarborough

[aclaretinstevenage]

Scarborough....Jamie Hoyland?

[aclaretinstevenage]

I think I know the Scunthorpe scorer.... clue...........it wasn't Kevin Francis!!

[Herts Clarets]

Jamie Hoyland is correct for Scarborough.

[woody]

Scunthorpe Patterson ?

[Herts Clarets]

Not Paterson for Scunthorpe

[Hibsclaret]

Scunthorpe John Gayle

[Herts Clarets]

Scunthorpe John Gayle

Correct. That's all for today folks!!

After a few days of non posts due to the slim pickings of Clarets linked players, we are back with a number of scorers to guess from 1983. A day which saw the Clarets send Port Vale packing on the receiving end of a 7 goal thumping. A hattrick for Kevin Reeves and a goal a piece for Billy Hamilton, Tommy Hutchison, Brian Flynn and Willie Donachie. I remember this game as my Dad had been dragged Xmas shopping and picked my brother and I up outside the cricket club after the game. "How did we get on" he asked and then was in disbelief at the scoreline until the match report came on Radio Lancs. If only Kevin Reeves hadn't had a career ending injury....

The goalscorers with links to our club on the day played for:

Norwich City
Barnsley
Cardiff (own goal from a Huddersfield Town player)
Bolton Wanderers
Sheffield United
Bury
Peterborough United

One or two quite easy ones and a couple that I think are quite tricky. Good luck with your guesses.

[Herts Clarets]

Bump if anyone wants to play, if not I will stop posting these.....

Only just seen this but I will go with what I think might be the easy ones. I could be wrong though.

Dobson Bury?
Oghani Bolton?

Oghani Bolton?

Not Dobbo or Oghani

[claretonthecoast1882]

Huddersfield - Brian Laws ?
Bolton - If not Oghani / Warren Joyce ?

[Herts Clarets]

Huddersfield own goal was indeed Brian Laws. Not Warren Joyce for Bolton. I think the tricky ones are Norwich and in particular Peterborough

[NL Claret]

I’ve got the benefit of FB , Louie Donowa was the Norwich scorer. Can’t remember Posh one though.

Back to 1991 yesterday with Conroy’s brace at Northampton and the crutches in the crowd celebrating. My lift never turned up that day, was gutted to miss out.

A few interesting ones today.

Players associated with the Clarets scored for:

Arsenal
Barnsley
Birmingham

Stoke
Crewe v Hereford

[Herts Clarets]

Norwich City Louie Donowa
Barnsley Stuart Gray
