Anyone tried this before?
I got 187.
-
fantastic game - i got 189 right. Ones i couldnt get were players from recent seasons that didnt stick around too long plus one or two forgotten players from the Gregory era.
-
I enjoyed that. Only got 149 though - even missed one player from 6 weeks ago. My memory's obviously not what it used to be!

I remember results and players from twenty years ago far more easily than those of the last 10! Strange.
-
Cracking game thanks, only got 122 with my excuse being that my boss interrupted me halfway through!
Also forgot Custard Pants who was my favourite player during DOL's years.
95/96 and 10/11 my best seasons
-
I got 170. Did the first 120 in 3 minutes, then struggled. To be fair, not too gutted on who I missed out.
I got complete teams for the following seasons: 96, 99, 09, 11.
I missed one out for each of these teams: 94, 95, 97, 00, 01, 08.
I missed two for each of these: 98, 02, 03, 05, 10.
I missed three on 04
I missed four on 07
I missed five on 06
Good luck!

183

I bloody love Sporcle.
-
167.
One of the players I missed out still plays for us.
-
178.
The only one I really never would have got was Scott Murray. Can't believe i forgot Fabian Delph and Gavin McCann!
-
I got 157. Then I had another go, and managed only 149.
-
I love it nice one shellac

I got Murray but forgot Delph!

I got Murray but forgot Delph!
Even now, having seen the answer, and Googling Scott Murray, I have no bloody idea who he is...

He was a winger/attacking midfielder who ended up at full back because Gary Charles was injured and Nelson wasnt ready for his debut yet. I dont think he was an orthodox defender. He was sold to Bristol City i think.
-
167, forgot some real obvious ones as well. You know you're getting desperate when in the last minute I was trying the like of Byfield!
The only time I ever remember Murray playing, is, i'm pretty sure, a midweek game (against Boro?) in the week of the LC Final. After moving to Bristol City, i'm pretty sure he did quite well there.

He scored a load of goals for Bristol aswell.

I scored 171
Names I should have got we're..... Draper & McCann
Names I would never have got we're.....Beye, Delph, Murray & Fashanu
Alarmingly I only got 7 out of this seasons starting lineup :o
-
i wasted a couple of minutes trying desperately to remember the last missing person i had from our first game this season. Didnt get it. James Milner. Forgotten him already! 153
-
I got Scott Murray, but still only scored 134.
-
Brilliant. Who is Scott Murray? Never heard of him.
-
what a website. Problem is Ive started trying loads of other one esp music.. God help me friday night with a bottle of JD
-
170, I still dont know which ones I didn't get as the website wont reveal the answers to me.
Gavin McCann was the obvious one I missed and I suspect I've misspelled a few.
-
I managed 135. My best years were 96/97, 97/98 and 08/09. Worst was 99/00. Couldn't remember how to spell Ugo's last name. Surprised could remember how to spell some names.
-
great game but should go back in time further
-
150. so many nothing players over the years.
-
138, pretty bad. Got full line ups from 06/07 though, can't believe I forgot Hitz/Crouch and .. De La Cruz of all people!
-
164... and I forgot angel and vassell, ggrrr I even played against Darius!
-
Got 148 but didn't realise until about half way through you only needed to type in last names! Missed out on a few that I should have definitely got (Angel, McCann etc.) but I could have sat there for eternity and never typed in Scott Murray.. I have absolute zero recollection of this player!
-
163
missing Delph, Beye, hitz, moore, merson, boateng and davis brought the most annoyance
-
158 & forgot Heskey & Downing. Shocking.
-
168
Totally forgot about Fashanu & Beye.
-
An appalling 122. It's harder than it sounds, your mind goes blank.
-
I got 178 - Amazing some of the people I forgot really
-
166. Stuart Taylor was a bonus!
-
166 as well.
Hendrie, Alpay and Boateng were my main embarrassments.
-
Hendrie! How could I forget him?
-
166. Stuart Taylor was a bonus!
Yeah I started off trying to get all the keepers, that one was a blank but thanks to good old Ian in midfield, it was sorted!
I had most trouble with full backs, and struggled more with the 02-06 era (wonder why?)
-
176 - couldnt think remember who played right back against Sheff Wed in 1996/1997 for the life of me!!
-
166. Stuart Taylor was a bonus!
Yes they need to work on that loophole. Couldn't remember another keeper then once again Ian Taylor got us out of the shit. Great game - I definitely need to work on the wilderness years after gregory and before martin.
-
187. Pretty pleased with that.
