Ooh question 1 is correct,

Ooh question 1 is correct, mooro ur good if u knew that off the top of your head!

Lomas was at the game on Saturday.

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.

Question five will only be deemed correct if all the names are in one post.

Of course he came back to us

Of course he came back to us didn't he. It was man united then

Close but still no cigar for Dowie. I checked your original guess and did spot 2 stints from Dowie just can't remember it! Maybe trying to block that out. Might have to look it up for the whole story to refresh.

Man Utd was last game of

Man Utd was last game of season and he wasn't in squad season after

Q3 both have worn number 6 shirt for the hammers

More obscure than that q3 it

More obscure than that q3 it's nothing to do with on the pitch. Altho I suspect your answer is correct. Harry

Also they have both played

Also they have both played for a team been sold and later come back. George obviously signed for us twice and undsworth signed for Everton on two separate occasions. Unless it's not football related ?

Harry's corker - it was a

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

Warbury Warriors ha ha bit

Warbury Warriors ha ha bit too exact for me.bscore correct, scorer correct but I have got someone else down for the mistake? Where did you get zarate from?

The comic strip said Zarate lost the ball

I have double checked on the

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?

Les Ferdinand
Terry Sherrington
Frank lampard
Jermaine Defoe

Correct with the top scorers

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!

I read Q5 wrong red lol,i was

I read Q5 wrong red lol,i was trying to think of 25 ex west ham strikers,who have scored the most goals in the prem

Ha ha Moore I thought it was

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?

Q4. Barrera, hiltzberger

Q4. Barrera, hiltzberger,piquionne,

Question 4 not correct yet

Question 4 not correct yet harry but I'll double check, knowing you

I stand corrected I didn't

I stand corrected I didn't think we signed anyone before the summer but we signed some in the Feb so it's, Ilan,mido and mccarthy. How could I forget McCarthy and mido ??

Exactly correct mido and

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

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) ????

And the answer was,

And the answer was, reportedly their wives wanted to move back. Strange because as u say macca came back.

Clearly a case of a man

Clearly a case of a man letting his other half know who wears the trousers!!

Nothing but alpha males at

Nothing but alpha males at our club

All i can say is wow!

You guys know your stuff about the hammers!

Hammer for me the fun is

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

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).
