Knowle Rohrer Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Shame for Chile, once a bottling Red Dog, always a bottling Red Dog I was delighted to see him miss. He was fully focused on the world cup for the last couple of months and put in very little effort. It serves him right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowle Rohrer Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 In football terms very little:- Founder members of the league Highest cup final defeat Had the 'first superstar of football' First post war FA cup winners I believe we made the first £100k signing Twice champions of England Had England's most capped player playing for us when he broke the record Won the first Championship play off at the new Wembley Broke the record for lowest points achieves in top flight season Basically, for a 130 year existence...very little. If you mean what is the place famous for I would suggest you do a little research as we certainly have a lot more to be proud of than your sh1teh0le! Really? Played in the first match with nets. Pioneered other things such as the referee's whistle and floodlights. Twice FA Cup winners. Won the First Division straight after promotion. Back to back European Cups. We also were the first club to overturn a first leg home defeat against Dynamo Berlin. Four League Cups and twice runners up. Record 5-0 victory over Ipswich in the Charity Shield. Won the first ever game shown live on Sky Sports against Liverpool. Signed the 1st million pound player. 1st black player to play for England. Won one of the toughest 1st divisions ever in 1998, beating Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Charlton all of whom got in excess of 88 points. Sold Roy Keane and Stan Collymore for British record transfers at the time. Three players in England's Italia 90 World Cup squad and two in England's Euro 96 squad. Game set and match!

davenportram Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Pioneered referees whistle because they kept cheating but the FA mafe them think it was their idea. Used floodlights for two reasons, they were awful to watch and crowd needed waking up and they had to play in the evening so games didn't clash with a more popular local team. Needed nets to stop their keeper getting knackered fetching the ball when the opposition scored. Winning one of the hardest second divisions in 1998 doesn't balance out having the most last places on the top flight or being the only European Cup winners to fall to the third tier of domestic football.

I bet that is not true about the most last place finishes (I cannot find anything to confirm it either). You went 38 league games without a win, that is your most notable record!

McRamFan Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Despite all that, we still aren't the worst team in history. You where the first football club to enter administration and a brand new one was formed in 1984, any history prior to that date died when that club did. First club to have over 4 winding up notices in one season. Only club that slags off their previous charman because Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
