FA Cup Special Trivia Question......
« on: November 10, 2007, 12:25:15 AM »

Name FIVE individuals who have played a competitive first team match for both Alty and Millwall during their respective footballing careers (since 1963).

One is easy.

The other four are more obscure.

First prize for identifying all five players: a 2007 Tesco Christmas catalogue.

Oh, and Brian Flynn has already been provided with the answers, so he's excluded!

Well Mr Laidlar has aldreadu been on the case, so I'm not spoiling any secreyts with Alex Stepney and Jerome John.

However, did the truly atrocious (even in half time warm ups) Peter Stanier claim to have been at Millwall at some point in his career?

Brian Kilcline?

Edit: AH! Jason Van Blerk  :D :D

Edit: Didn't actually play for Alty but Andy May!

Edit: I am getting a pint for this aren't I? Jason Beckford.  ::)

Ballers,

Hugely impressed by your responses to date.
You've been spending far too much time talking to Brian Flynn!

Jerome John did NOT play a competitive first XI match for Millwall, as far as I can tell.

So, the identified characters so far are:

Alex Stepney;
Jason Beckford;
Jason Van Blerk.

Two more to go.

Clue: have a look at Alty in the seasons 1992/93 and 1995/96.

Incidentally, the answers can be found inside today's issue of the Robins Review.

Spot on.

Robert Wilson - ex-Fulham & Millwall.

Signed from Farnborough Town by Gerry Quinn in December 1992.

One to go....
