Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who scored the goals in the last day thriller at home to Portsmouth?

Answer: Geoff Horsfield and Kieran Richardson

2-0, final whistle goes and the fans await news from the game at The Valley on which their survival now depends. The result is confirmed - Albion are safe, whilst Crystal Palace, Southamton and Norwich City fall through the trapdoor into the Football League.

2. Who scored Albion's first goal of the campaign?

Answer: Neil Clement

Against Blackburn Rovers, a deflected free kick on the opening day of the season at Ewood Park. Albion took the lead only for Craig Short to equalise for Blackburn.

3. Upon his loan arrival from Manchester United, which squad number was allocated to Kieran Richardson?

Answer: 15

16 was actually unused, 17 was Rob Hulse and 18 was used by Lloyd Dyer. The highest squad number utilised was Rob Earnshaw's 34.

4. Against whom did Kieran Richardson score his first goal in West Brom colours?

Answer: Norwich City

Wasn't enough though for the points though; the Albion went down 2-3 at Carrow Road to a spirited Norwich City side. Of course, the points weren't enough to save Norwich from relegation come the final day.

5. Which player was sent off in the clubs visit to Newcastle?

Answer: Darren Purse

Bizarrely sent off after making contact with his arm on another Albion player. Some may say Albion were better off without him, but that's unkind. Fairly accurate, but unkind.

6. Albion only wore their third kit (white) once. Where?

Answer: St Mary's Stadium

Worn against the Saints in the 2-2 draw in November. The Referee deemed there was too much of a clash between both Albions blue and white and red kits with Southampton's own red and white stripes.

7. In which two consecutive games did Albion have a player sent off?

Answer: Liverpool and Manchester City

Contra received his marching orders at home to Liverpool, whilst Gaardsoe received similar treatment at The City Of Manchester Stadium, both for professional fouls.

8. Where did Albion record their first away win?

Answer: The Valley

The 4-1 victory against Charlton remained the clubs only league victory on their travels all season, although they did manage eight draws and a 2-0 victory over Championship side Preston North End in the FA cup.

9. Who scored the Albion's goal in their ignominious cup exit at Colchester?

Answer: Geoff Horsfield

Albion went out of the League Cup, losing 2-1 after extra time to the Football League side. It was another nail in Manager Gary Megson's coffin - a month later he was sacked and subsequently replaced by Bryan Robson.

10. Which Albion keeper conceded the goal in a creditable 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford?

Answer: Russell Hoult

A clearly injured Hoult failed to get his hands to a quickly taken free kick. Kuszczak came on for him and was subsequently awarded the man of the match award after an heroic display.
