Not that bothered about the landscaping but a bit gutted on missing out on a picture of Philly Steward
 

 

[Hale Alty]

Is the comedian Alan Carr?

[Ballers]

(6) Name SIX players who have played for both Alty and Weymouth.

Peter Conning,Lee Elam & four others

Is one of the answers something utterly ridiculous and spurious like Darren Campbell/Jason Beckford/Paul Jones?

Also, did Chris Senior have trials with Weymouth?

No, Ballers, I wouldn't do something like that to you.
One player is quite obscure....but valid.

Not sure whether Chris Senior has ever had trials with Weymouth.....but he's not one of the six players on my list.

[CB]

Is the comedian Alan Carr?

Think it's Jimmy Carr iirc

[viennaalty]

The name of one of the players who has played for both clubs escapes me but I'm fairly sure it was a lad on loan to us from Bury about 6 or 7 years ago. Marc Whiteman?? He seemed to go on a tour of south coast clubs after having played for us iirc.

[hsmith1]

Another question you could have asked was name the ref who's last league game was Weymouth v Alty and then his next game was in the European championships

[Alty365]

Matt Bailey has played for both Alty and Weymouth

A bonus point awarded to viennaalty, as I had forgotten all about Marc Whiteman having played for Weymouth!

So, Peter Conning, Lee Elam and Matt Bailey identified to date.

Still three players to be named....

[thegazelle]

did i ever tell anyone about my goal at weymouth


why havent you asked a question about my goal at weymouth,

and qcue sellars with a concussion story

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

OK then, here's a supplementary question:

Name the renowned Altrincham supporter and current hotel guru based in Knighton who once scored a brilliant goal at Weymouth...

For a bonus point, describe the aforementioned goal....

[thegazelle]

phew thats a tough one if i remember correctlyt it was a very good goal but cant for the life of me think who scored such a great goal give us a clue

[ManagementGuru]

The legendary Colin D'arcy was between the sticks for the 0-0 on the opening day of the opening APL season

The scorer of Alty's second goal against Weymouth was none other than JOE FLAHERTY!

Graham Carr's son is the comedian (dod Graham Carr ever play for Weymouth therefore being one of the six?)

Peter Densmore (someone has got that already!)

I have been to Weymouth three times to watch Alty (although not recently!!) and have never seen a goal - 76-77, 79-80 and 80-81.
