aunty ren, whilst holding a few tickets: probably good-looking, handsome, adorable, and modest to boot

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on the Goram Q1, that would be something the Celtic fans would throw at a Rangers player, but that's not one of the options .. Q2 could take a while, unless PaulE comes in here

Q2: the 6,000th goal scored by Chelsea FC
here's what I've dug up so far if anybody wants to run with it from here, as I gotta get some shut eye

4,762 .. goals scored in the Football League from 1905 to 1991/2
472 .. goals scored in the FA Premier League 92/3 thru to 30-Dec-00
141 .. goals scored in Europe day dot thru to 28-Sep-00
499 .. goals scored in the FA Cup to end 98/9 season
00 .. goals in League Cup still to be found (more like added up)

that makes 5,874 so there's 126 to be found!
and found chronologically

ac, you're a sweetheart

ren, this is every goal Cheslea have scored as of this instant:-

4762 .. Football League
472 .... FA Premier League
141 .... European competitions
235 .... League Cup
522 .... FA Cup
7 ....... Charity Shield

6139 .. total
so now we gotta work backwards

and the above list doesn't include goals scored in the Full Members Cup (which they won in 1986) and in the Zenith data Systems Cup (which they won in 1990) .. you wanna ask the quizmaker precisely what "professional goal" means, it might help a little, a teenzy weenzy!

btw where is PaulE, pommie_in_oz, Jepsen1, karmaloupster and the rest of the crowd

It was Kilmarnock fans who sang "2 Andy Gorams" to the Rangers' keeper.
Still working on the Chelsea question.

PE, been in the garage for a while with the RFYBs, and have dug out all the results for Chelsea from 1985/6 to 1991/2 for the Full Member's Cup and they added up to 50 goals .. so we're looking at 6,189 goals as of this moment

4762 .. Football League
472 .... FA Premier League
141 .... European competitions
235 .... League Cup
522 .... FA Cup
7 ........ Charity Shield
50 ...... Full Members Cup 1985/6 to 1991/2

6189 .. total as of now

far this season Chelsea have scored:
38 FAP League
1 LCup
1 Europe
2 Charity Shield
5 FA Cup
47 total

6142 .. total at start of season = the end of season 1999/2000

last season 99/00 they scored:
57 FAP League
0 LCup
18 FA Cup
25 Europe
100 total

6042 .. at end of season 1998/1999

in season 98/9 they scored:
46 FAP League
10 LCup
10 Europe
8 FA Cup
74 total

5968 .. at start of the season 98/9

which means we're looking for the 32nd goal of the season..

using 11-Nov-98 as a cut-off as there was a LCup game that day, their last European game was 05-Nov-98 (and their next one was 04-Mar-99) then from the start of the season they'd scored

9 LCup games x2 played
3 in Europe (4 games)
0 FA Cup goals (of course)
14 FAP League
26 total

5994 .. so far to date

14-Nov-00 3-0 (h) Wimbledon
21-Nov-00 4-2 (a) Leicester .. the 3rd goal here is the 6,000th

the scorers in the Leicester game were:
Zola 2' Poyet 39' Flo 56' Zola (again) 90'

now what .. Flo isn't one the options in the question!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paul, the league goals figure might be the problem .. I think I might be out by 1 goal but I can't find the scraps on this table telling me whether I'm +1 or -1 .. and, interestingly enough, the scorers either side of Flo are named in Q2 as a choice .. what do you get at your end for league goals?

let's try this tack

a couple of books and a few sites on the web have Chelsea scoring 5144 goals at the end of the 98/99 season which, if you work backwards, is 1 more than the figures above .. which means the goal scored by Flo is the 6,001st goal and therefore:

2. Who scored Chelsea's six thousandth professional goal?
Gustafo Poyet . Scott Minto . Gianfranco Zola . Dan Petrescu . Mark Hughes . Dennis Wise .

if that ain't it aunty ren, please shoot me, after Paul's had a go at this

Unfortunately gt I don't have any RFYBs and haven't been able to find anything of much use on the net regarding Chelseas' goalscoring exploits.
I did, however, find this little gem -


"That's great, tell him he's Pele and get him back on." - John Lambie, Partick Thistle manager, when told a concussed striker did not know who he was.
