This weekend why and where were 11 for 10 a record?

Clue: Watford

 

[Jsybarry]

At a guess, I would say that in the last 11 games involving Watford where a side has gone down to 10 men, the home side has won.

Am assuming by 'reverse' you mean 11 men in 10 games?

Is it a record run of unchanged starting teams or something similar?

yes... keep on it

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Clue: a run of 10 games

Final clue.... and this is now a gimme who fielded the same eleven when for a tenth consecutive League match – the only such instance in the club’s history.

 

[yorkshirehornet]

No takers?

 

[oldfrenchhorn]

Successive away defeats is 11, back in the early 1950's I think. I thought it had happened earlier, but only guessing really.

I am giving it to BB as I am off now for a few days.

He was fairly near:

• Apr 29 1939 … Bill Findlay fielded the same eleven for a tenth consecutive League match – the only such instance in the club’s history.

Typical - I only went back to the 1940s...

Who managed to get a World Cup winner's medal without ever having played an international match?

I still have somewhere in a cupboard a cardboard medal as World Plateball doubles champion. A little known sport I know, played with two plastic dinner plates and a small spongy ball confiscated from a student. A row of chairs across the centre of the staff room acted as "net" and the scoring was similar to tennis. My partner and I overcame the Head of History (a bit past any sort of movement to be honest) and a rather portly Woodwork teacher. Sadly we never represented England at this fine sport, though we did annoy several Times crossworders, one or two sleep-deprived Special Needs teachers and an obsessive knitter. Happy days!

Is this what you had in mind, BB?
