Bloody hell think that was too easy! I can think of at least another 3 ha ha! Didn't realise how many! Maybe I should have gone for a whole 11! Well done anyway, I'm just a bit tired. I can assure you the others were took more time to think of and hope they are harder

Oh you git Moore! Ha ha Peter Beardsley is correct had to be a bit creative with that one as everyone knows alvins hat trick and the 3 goalkeepers in one game stat.

What made you come up with Beardsley Moore? Good lateral thinking. Fill your boots with mores you tube link because this is what this thread is all about. Memories! Are we sure that game was at Upton Park and not Clacton seafront? Those were the days. Nobody got badly injured then either

The clue was in the question for me red,Toon player he scored against NOT goal keeper and that got my 3rd brain cell doing overtime, Alvin Martin hatrick by 3 different goalies and the memories as you say come flooding back

Q3.
Paul,Clive,Martin Allen = 3
Mark and David noble = 2
Rio,anton and les Ferdinand = 3
Stewart,Keith and pop Robson= 3

So 2 x 3 = 6 + 3 = 9 -3 = 6

Answer is 6

was it the game we played behind closed doors in cup winners cup v Castilla 1980-81 season i suppose official attendance would have to be 0.

And the final skittle falls to Harry again. I'll beat you one day. Sorry Moore you did touch on it but I needed a clearer answer. It was Castilla I'm sure a lot of you remember due to fan unrest in the first game we were ordered to play the return game behind closed doors. The official attendance would be zero but there was a sprinkle of people there at the last count around 200. That's why I used it to the nearest 500 as the exact number is debatable. (European cup winners cup game)

I'm truly not worthy! Seems I'm a mere novice in the West Ham stakes. Getting to see a game behind closed doors? Definately gona click on your link in a minute Moore. Harry to clever for his own good. I have got a corker waiting for him soon. Bet someone still gets it tho. Yes glad the dark days are gone, I uncovered a newspaper article about Newcastle fans throwing a petrol bomb in our end during a game, as a response to some stabbing. Declined to use that as a question.

2 things spring to mind on that video Moore. Firstly don't you just love those tight eighties shorts. I've seen baggies budgie smugglers! And secondly it's a bit noisy for a place that is officially empty.
