wormy Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 While this thread is bumped I suppose 'name the nufc manager who didn't attend his first match in charge' could be a good one in a few decades. Any other similar instances people can think of? I've no answers FYI, just curious! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abra Dubravka Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) First Newcastle game, Southampton away, pretty sure I remember Souness wasnt there and on 'gardening leave' before taking over...

I believe his gardening leave was a home game, possibly against Blackburn at home, who he left. Then we went to Southampton, where Carr scored a blinder.

STM Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Yeah I've just checked. SBR was sacked after away trip to Villa, lost 4-2. We had a cup game against Hapoel and then he was in the stands against Blackburn. Carver , I think was in the dugout and we won 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I came up with a question recently but ive no idea of the answer and id imagine finding the right answer would be pretty difficult. A few of you might be interest in having a go and rather than getting the 'right' answer just try and better the previous high score. In the Premier League era which player has scored against the same team at the highest number of stadiums. Includes domestic, european and friendly games (must have been 1st team fixtures) but does not include International games. It could be a striker who has played for a lot of different teams, a player who has played in a lot of finals or even just someone like Harry Kane who had three home grounds in just a few seasons. Over to you... Edited November 19, 2021 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abra Dubravka Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Going to be a headace of looking through stats that... First name jumped out was Andy Cole. Scored plenty, more than a few PL clubs, would have have played at Wembley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Thought Ronaldo vs Atleti might be a good few but it's only 4. Hasn't scored at the Wanda, only scored in 1 CL final and the Copa del Rey final he scored in was at the Bernabeu. Bernabeu Juve Allianz Calderon Estadio de Luz (CL final) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_b Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Im going to set the bar at a very solid 5 Harry Kane vs Leicester King Power White Hart Lane Wembley New White Hart Lane The Den A very useful resource is TransferMarkt.co.uk, search a player name then on their profile click 'stats' and then 'record against...?' It'll show the number of times they have scored against each time and if you then click on the appearances number itll show each game and whether they scored eg https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harry-kane/bilanzdetails/spieler/132098/gegner/1003 Using the site isnt cheating as its still very difficult and frustrating, I know there will be a 6 and a 7 out there. Just gotta think outside the box eg FA Cup final venues x3 FA Cup semi final neutral venues Teams ground sharing during refurbishments Friendly tournaments abroad EDIT Sorry Nut posted before I saw your answer Edited November 19, 2021 by geordie_b Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Thought I had 6 for a minute, but only 5 vs Atleti, Sergio Ramos: Estadio de Luz (CL final) San Siro (CL final) Lillekula Stadium, Tallinn (UEFA Super Cup) Bernabeu Wanda Metropolitano Really frustrating, never scored at the Calderon.
