Statto questions

[Napster]

Which (former) Shrimper has made the most Champions League appearances? I know Lars made one appearance back in 93 - has anyone else?
Who was the first substitute? (I'm guessing this was mid-60s?)
Who was the first black player? (anyone?)
Who has the best % goalscoring record - (minimum 10 goals) = Cadette? Collymore?
Who has played in the most positions? (Dublin?)

Lee Sawyer made a sub appearance for Chelsea I'm reasonably sure.

First black player I remember was Micky Welch.

 

[Pubey]

First black player was Nicky Nicalou

 

[Beefy]

Michael Black had a Champions League appearence at Arsenal.

If you're including the European Cup then Ronnie Whelan surely wins by a mile? He won it in 83/84.

I thought about it. But decided against it.

I think Sawyer only made the bench in the last Champions League game under Mourinho. He never played for the first team there in any competition.

 

[Napster]

According to soccerbase, he didn't play one minute for Chelsea in any competition.

I think Micky Welch is correct.

Did Stan play Champions League for either Liverpool or Villa?

Mike Marsh for Galatassary? Petter Belsvik in Norway? Think Adrian Clarke/Michael Black managed a game for Arsenal. Pat Scully in Ireland? Paul Byrne/Mark McNally for Celtic?
Was the first black player Mickey Welsh?
Best % goalscoring record is almost certainly someone pre-war
Tilly played in goal, defence, midfield (centre-mid as well as his more usual left-mid) and up front for us.

I think Micky Welch is correct.

I'm sure I remember Stan playing for Liverpool in the Champions League. He played for Villa in Europe but in one of the other Cups.

Anthony Grant must be running close for the 'most positions' title already. He played all across the back line last season, at right wing and central midfield.

 

[Grayson]

Simon Francis played everywhere but in goal.

 

[Pubey]

Simon Francis played everywhere but in goal.

Has he played left wing?

And left midfield. Only up front and in goal to go.

Simon Francis played everywhere but in goal.

Yeah, but what position should he have been playing at the time;)

 

[Beefy]

Francis only played 20 minutes up front at the end of the home game against Ipswich in the Championship season. I've seen it mentioned that he had a run of matches there but I'm fairly certain that that is people's minds playing tricks on them.

 

[Napster]

Marsh only played 3 times for Galatasary - and they weren't in the CL when he was there
Collymore played in the Cup winners cup once for Liverpool against Brann
Belsvik is harder to calculate - but he played a few times in qualifying rounds - he might be a contender!

 

[canveyshrimper]

I'm sure I remember Stan playing for Liverpool in the Champions League. He played for Villa in Europe but in one of the other Cups.

Thanks.

The first sub would have been 1965/66, but I haven't the foggiest who.

Statto alert - the first ever sub used in the Football League was Keith Peacock of Charlton.

 

[Beefy]

I saw on Soccerbase that Collymore only played one European match for Liverpool but I don't think that's right. I'm going to check later.

First black player was Nicky Nicalou

Incorrect, he was Southend's first and only orange player.

Second. Shane Westley was first. :)
