The stupid thing is I should have known about Aldo and in the County players thread, I think it was Frank who had written recently that Len Weare played a game on his wedding day and his wife was there as well. Perhaps that is where Blackand Amber got the question from. Anyway, well done Frank. Good quiz B&A, can you make the next one a little less difficult please for numpties like me.

I also have a County crossword quiz that I did ages ago but have no idea how to post that one up. It is based on an excel spreadsheet and is now about 7 years old.
I got 3 questions from the Hall of Fame article on the County website. It lists all those that have been inducted, and I was surprised that Aldo hadn't been. Also it mentions about Len Weare's wedding day and his bride still holding her bouquet at the match.

Sorry only one message from you in my inbox. Anyway it wasn't his first goal (as FN3 said).

Oh and depending on your definition of "Premier League player", Both Botti Biabi and Alex Samuel (yes, that one) scored their only Swansea goals for their U23s against us in the EFL Trophy in 2016 when Swansea were in the Premier League, but never actually made a Premier League appearance. However, all U23 players are registered as eligible to play with the Premier League, so both had a Premier League registration that season.
