Shaun Teale scored a an og v forest. Unchallanged he chipped it over our keeper.

Wasn't that in front of the Holte after about 30 seconds or something like that? We went on to win 3-1 if I remember correctly.

Brentford had 5 seasons in total. All the teams have been got but not years for Leyton Orient and Glossop yet.

According to Wiki.

The name Glossop is thought to be of Saxon origin, named during the Angles' settlement in the 7th century, and derived from Glott's Hop – where hop could mean a valley,[3] a small valley in a larger valley system,[4] or a piece of land enclosed by marshes[5] and Glott was probably a chieftain's name.

In the all time table of most appearances by non-British Isles players in the premier league, 4 of the top 7 played for Villa. Who are they?

Bonus point for naming the two that are in the top 5.
