The NLP said that we used 29 players this season. I presume they referred to league games only. As ever it's inaccurate! Going from the stats in the grays programme we had 28 players who got on the pitch and 3 who were on the bench but didn't play (Owen, Heffernan and McFadden). Without cheating or looking at other posts how many of these can you name? (I got 25 out of the 28).
-
Let's see, without cheating I can recall:-
Keepers: Coburn, Accy, lad who went to Oz whose name escapes me (how crap is that!?) / THREE
Defenders: Lane, Smith, McGregor, Young, Welch, Doughty, Peyton, Tierney, Waterfall / NINE
Midfielders: Densmore, Danylyk, Lawton, Wilkinson, Hadfield / FIVE
Forwards: Senior, Johnson, Denham, O'Neill, Elam, Meechan, Little, Thornley, Banim / NINE
That's 26. Really can't think of anyone else...
-
Thinking maybe Kevin Street at the start of the season?
Andy Ralph the other keeper
-
The other one's just come to me, am I right in thinking Battersby?
-
26 out of 28 here.
Completely forgot about Richard Battersby and then Ben Wilkinson (which shows what a profound impression the latter player made on my conscious mind...!).
-
Without any cheating......Got Street & Waterfall, but did not remember Tierney...............and completely forgot about Meechan and Battersby
Did anyone mention Banim ?
-
Maybe tomorrows trivia question should be.........name all the ex-alty players who have played against Altrincham FC this season ?
Could be too easy because I can only think of Two so far (in BSP)

Is it just two? There both obvious, and its all I can get.
-
I don't know the definite answer..........I can think of two and maybe there are only two
-
There is at least four in the BSP.
More if we count Chesh cup ties against Witton, Nantwich etc.
-
There is at least four in the BSP.
Carlos Logan (Barrow)
Lee Elam (Vics)
Matt Bailey (Vics)
Phil Bolland (Cambridge United)
Plus two dodgy ones:
Michael Rankine (Rushden & Diamonds) - didn't he once play for Alty in a friendly/trial match at Witton Albion?
Nat Kerr (Barrow) - trialist at Alty last Summer?
-
Andy Ralph, Richard Acton, Stewart Coburn
Chris Lane, Greg Young, Mark McGregor, James Smith, Chris Lane, Matt Doughty, Sean Densmore, Luke Waterfall, Michael Welch, Richard Battersby
Jordan Hadfield, Anthony Danylyk, Robbie Lawton, Warren Peyton, Ben Wilkinson, Alex Meechan, Chris Denham, Kevin Street
Chris Senior, Colin Little, Dale Johnson, Rod Thornley, Jody Banim, Joe O'Neill

Missed: Lee Elam (:D) and Paul Tierney

Thanks for what is probably the definitive answer............completely forgot that Bailey was at Vics..he was on loan to us from (I think) Crewe.
Bolland was one I really should have got, having worked for several years with his late Father

Mick,
I think that Matt Bailey was actually a Stockport County player when he joined Alty on loan during the 2003/04 season.
He came to us around the same time as that winger Jamie Baguley, who is remembered solely for his 'suicidal' 60 yard back pass against Worksop Town at Moss Lane....

We've also missed out Val Owen here

We've also missed out Val Owen here
No we haven't. With regards to appearances he was on the bench but didn't appear on the pitch in a conference fixture, as I said in the original post.
And I'm pretty sure he hasn't signed for anyone else in the conference!
-
My bad, my bad, just popped into mind, maybe I was thinking about last season

True. Remember him playing a CSC game and was it Wrexham in the Setanta shield? I remember him coming on as a sub against luton but cant remember if he played in the replay or not, get a feeling he may have done. Anybody?
-
Go on then, let's give it a bash and see how much the awful 2007-08 season has imprinted on our minds.
League games only - we used 36 players in league games plus 2 who were on the bench but didn't get on (Danny Browne and Tom Bailey).
To be fair, I only got 32 about a minute after I'd looked up on the website to check how many we'd used. :)
-
Stewart Coburn, Richard Acton, Sanders?? (keeper on loan from Wigan who got injured on his only app)
Chris Lane, Darren Tinson, Greg Young, James Jennings, Steve Aspinall, Ryan Shotton
(Liam?) King, Turnbull, Greg Tansey, Robbie Lawton, Warren Peyton, Logan, Val Owen, Kieran Lugsden, Pat MacFadden, Lee Henley, Gareth Whalley, Jake Sedgemore
Chris Senior, Colin Little, Joe O'Neill, James Dean, Matty Bearkley
27... (and i'm not sure about a couple of those either...)
