Harry's corker question

In the comic strip "striker", Warbury wanderers beat West Ham what was the score, who scored the winner and which hammers star was at at fault for the winning goal?

Sat in the front row of the Chicken Run, just a few seats away from me. And he was cheering for West Ham, not City, by the way. We were having a laugh with him about the good job he did at Millwall.

Harry's corker - it was a good one but here goes

The actual answer based on your question is they didn't play as It's actually Warbury Warriors - not wanderers lol!

But to answer the question

It wS 1-0 to Warbury

Zarate gave the ball away

Merenghi scored for Warbury

I have double checked on the website and I'm gonna have to declare void I remember it being a different player but the comic strip on the website shows the game but not the mistake. Unless of course you can prove otherwise?

Correct with the top scorers Harry. Can you believe we have had so many! Trouble is either they left first or arrived at the end of their career! 6 of the All time top scorers!

Ha ha Moore I thought it was a strange guess! Other brain cell not kick in this week? Anyway well done Harry and all. The problem with this quiz is like you say Moore, anyone can look it up so that means to make it last the questions have to be hard or obscure which may turn people off?

Exactly correct mido and Benni quite a duo for us. Maybe unsworth and macrtney I'm being too vague about? It's supposed to be the reported reason why they left harry. Must admit having scouted thro the Internet we have had a hell of a lot of crap players at the club! Anyone who doubts the quality of the current one should have a look thro some of our teams! We have subs benches better than we had players for many years!

We certainly have had some rubbish haven't we. Anyway a great quiz again. I know not many joining in but feel free to do another one anytime you want as enjoy trying to work out the answers... Didn't undsworth leave because he was homesick - was McCartney the same reason ( or was it there wives that didn't want to live in London) ????

Hammer for me the fun is refreshing your memories or indeed uncovering things you didn't know! For instance I never knew a fire bomb was thrown into our end against Newcastle! Until I came across it last week! Ditto that lomas was born in Germany! I'm sure Harry doesn't know every answer without the use of the Internet. And I'm sure he would be happy to admit it. So no we are not West Ham encyclopaedias, maybe we just have too much time on our hands. Guffaw

Yes you right the fun is in reminding ourselves just what has happened in the past ( mido,McCarthy,piquionne,Ben haim - what a joke but we signed them lol,). Of course I have to use the Internet to find some of the answers but that's part of the fun ( especially Harry's corker).
