Thanks, BB.
Thirty years ago exactly, our top two appearance makers were Gibbs and Porter. How many appearances had they each made for Watford up to this point? Sounds crazily hard? Well, not really. You can answer for both of them using only two different digits, e.g. 717 and 171.

No, both three digit numbers a lot higher than that. There are no consecutive digits of the same value for either player. One of your digits is one of the two necessary to give the totals for both players.

i think they were both 3?0 (Three hundred and somthing) Just the scan is very hard to read

You're in the right region. Only use two digits to give me both appearance totals. They were different, no digit the same as before or after.
There’s enough detail here. Look at yorkie’s work plus the parameters I’ve set. Matej said it’s either this or that and he was right first time. You don’t have to know the players, but I’ll focus you on yorkie’s work that they had both achieved at least 300 appearances.
Presuming that 0 qualifies as a digit in its own right. Then two three digit numbers which begin and end with a 3 - presumably with only one other digit between them (the same one in both cases) - I'll say 383 for both figures (question mark 
)

No. Because that would make one 383 and one 838.Presuming that 0 qualifies as a digit in its own right. Then two three digit numbers which begin and end with a 3 - presumably with only one other digit between them (the same one in both cases) - I'll say 383 for both figures (question mark
3 is one of the digits.
My bad, cologne, misread you. But I said earlier they were not the same.No. Because that would make one 383 and one 838.
3 is one of the digits.
Am I right in presuming that both numbers begin with a 3 and end with a 3 (otherwise there would be more than 2 digits)
No I'm wrong
Could it be 343 for Gibbs and 434 for Porter.
That’s it exactly!No I'm wrong
Over to you, cologne. Cheers Andy. Why was a victory over Sutton United so significant for this club - what record was broken and by which club.
Wow. Was it this from Port Vale in 2022?

All yours Andy
Vale beat Sutton United 2-0 on March 26th 2022 to complete the record, which will stand until any complete newbies come up from the National League (which seldom happens these days with so many ex league clubs down there). Port Vale had previously gained this record in the 90s and subsequently lost it. Lemmy Kilminster (front man with Hawkwind and Motorhead) was born locally (in Burslem) and has a statue dedicated to him outside Vale Park. I'm not sure if any other clubs come close to this. Take it away.
That's superb, cologne.All yours Andy
Which football club was the first West German club to play Watford at Vicarage Road and what was the score?
