As i'm bored, I decided to make a little quiz... Now can you get this; who scored the first goal of the season in the last 10 seasons? I'll get the ball rolling with Rickie Lambert last season, but do you know the rest? (I am prepared to be shot down) 10/11: Rickie Lambert 09/10: 08/09: 07/08: 06/07: 05/06: 04/05: 03/04: 02/03: 01/02:
03/04 - beattie vs blackburn???? correct me if wrong. 02/03 - thats a hard one, dont think we scored till chelsea at home and il take a stab at fernandes?
Here are the results if it helps jog anybody's memory (yep cause I'm bored as well...!!) 08/09 we lost 2-1 at Cardiff 06/07 drew 2-2 at Derby Bale free-kick or was that the second goal? 05/06 beat Sheff Wed 1-0 (2nd game after 0-0 draw with Wolves 1st game) 04/05 beat Blackburn 3-2 (2nd game after 2-0 loss at Villa 1st game) Beattie hat-trick? 03/04 drew 2-2 with Leicester Beattie then Phillips stunner after being 2-0 down at HT 02/03 1-1 with Chelsea (3rd game after 0-0 draw with Boro and 3-0 loss to Liverpool) 01/02 1-0 win at Bolton (4th game after 2-0 losses against Leeds, Chelsea and Spurs)
Just lending a helping hand And I haven't given any of the answers, just had a stab at those I think I know.
That 3-2 game against Blackburn...swear it wasn't a Beattie hat-trick...didn't Leandre Griiffit get one that day? Sturrocks last game in charge...Beattie pen in last minute.
yep thats right. griffit scored a stunning curler i remember now first was a great goal and was in fact anders svennson - am i right? top cornered it i remember - 2nd best goal he scored (werent many!)
05/06 beat Sheff Wed 1-0 (2nd game after 0-0 draw with Wolves 1st game) remember now - kenwyne Jones. we getting answers anytime soon?
Griffit scored in a different game against Blackburn, came on as a late sub and scored a curler. That 3-2 was Sturrock's last game and Beattie won it with a last minute penalty but I don't know who got the first.

Apologies Saintbirdseye, missed the mid-week game against Luton. The 1-0 win at Sheff Wed was the 3rd game and it was Jones that got the winner
