    Sadly there are no prizes for guessing the answer!

    A player who signed for Town in 1999 and went onto make 184 Appearances and scored 10 goals before leaving in 2004.

    Who is he?

    The other clue is to rearrange this anagram WARMING HIRE JET

    Well that was easy wasn't it! <doh>

    I thought he was decent enough playing alongside Magic in Midfield. He didn't score enough goals but he was pretty soild.

    How about this one....

    Bobby Robson made him his first signing in 1969 from West Brom and he went on to make 92 Appearances and scored 5 goals before leaving Town in 1976.

    Last one

    One of my all time heroes and arguably one of THE most talented and skillful players ever to play for Town! Signed in 1966 and made 305 Appearances scoring 45 goals before leaving in 1978. He was an absolute maestro with sublime passing and just a top quality player. I loved watching him play!

    Spot on Mads <ok>

    I had the privilege of watching him play many times and I will stick my neck out and say that he was the best midfielder to have played for Town. I <wah> when we sold him to Man City!

    I used to love his Swallow Dives after he scored <ok>

    As Joe Royle used to say he would even chase a crisp packet around the pitch if we let him! <laugh>

    Kevin Beattie took the pens! <doh>

    I'm sure I'm right in thinking that Johnny Wark didn't play in that game due to his Father passing away. If he had of been playing that day the score would have been 8-0!

    I'm also pretty sure that one of the 3 pens was a retake!

    Had they all been scored it would've been 9-0. But your wealth of knowledge deserves a point.
    And here's a real easy one. Despite being born in Lowestoft, in 1981 Laurie sivell played in goal for Germany. True or false.

    I could have sworn that one of the penalties was a retake but fair enough it was a long time ago!

    Warky I bow my head in shame and awe. The beat missed 2 one of which was as you say a retake. Frans thijssen missed the other but made amends with a goal along with 2 for brazil and a Mariner hat trick.
    My humble apologies.

    I remember that game - Martin Buchan, on his own in the Town half and facing Churchman's, only Paul Cooper to beat, picks up the ball because he thought it must be a free kick or the like!

    Anyway, here's one:

    Definitely the most naturally gifted player ever to grace PR except possibly Cruyff, played only one match in the holy blue shirt... Anagram is, brilliantly, GO GET BEERS
