Millenniumram Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Was in the pub watching this match and said to me dad- wonder who has the record for the worst defeat as Watford went 5 down. “Bet it’s bloody us” I said before checking Wikipedia and there it was, another awful record we unsurprisingly hold. We really are a special team, dunno how we all survive through the pain sometimes? We really are beyond any other team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are teams that have never been to a final, and teams that have never won it. Like the 11 points season. Forest can take the piss, but where were they while we were amassing those 11 points. At least we’ve won the league, twice. There are teams (like Leeds and forest) where entire generations can’t remember the last time they were in the top league.

Oh yeah it ain’t something you can take the piss out of if you’re a supporter of some random arse club down the leagues like Wrexham, it just is astounding how one team can hold so many poor records? But you’ve got to be in it to win it, and so we did.... eventually (vaguely recall us also holding the record for most consecutive final losses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I had to answer the first question when joining DCFC Fans? It's pretty much ingrained in the culture of the club so no issues there. Without checking Wikipedia, I know we won the FA Cup in 1946 against Charlton. I'm pretty sure we scored 4. Was it a 4-1 win? Edit: Just checked up and I've survived this quiz round. Don't think I knew that it was after extra time though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Incredible stat from that year as well that. Bury won the cup without conceding a goal. They were lucky though, Bloomer was injured on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if memory serves (I ain't checking), I'm pretty certain we're the only club to win the FA Cup after losing a game in an earlier round! (I know the reason, but I'll let others enjoy the googling for such a fantastic fact!) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just checked up and I've survived this quiz round. Don't think I knew that it was after extra time though! A player scored in both ends and the ball burst, neither of which has happened since. Absolute carnage in post-war Britain. No one sure which end to put the ball into the net. Derby were actually good. Everyone got really randy because they were pumped off adrenaline from fighting Hitler and hadn’t seen a woman for 6 years. The sort of climate which made the country panic and create the NHS, which turned out to be a good move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 We deserved everything we got in that game. As @loweman2 will confirm, we wore red that day - grrrr! 'Rams Buryed' read The News Of The World the next day, before rumours abounded that they had been listening in to the carrier pigeon messages sent by Edward VII to his many lovers.

Tommy Hutchinson scored at both ends in the 1982 final. The ball also burst in the 1947 final, for the second year running. But besides that you post is factually perfect ?
