4 losses prior to the end of November but went on to win the League.
Twice! '36-7 (5 losses) and '13-14.
Not 100% certain on this one but appears to be true.

Is Niall Quinn the only outfield player (at the start of the game) to score a goal and save a penalty?

He is according to this list, which I’d say is by no means definitive, but, it’s worth a read as there are some crackers in there including Keggy’s ‘I’d just luv it’ outburst

I am amazed that they were able to pack in a 42-match season (46 in D3 and D4) before the days of floodlighting.And two days after the match at Plymouth we played Leicester at home - three games in four days including a round trip to Devon - and on public transport too. Try going to Plymouth and back on Xmas Day & Boxing Day by train nowadays!
And Jimmy Constantine scored in all three games.
It’s no wonder that they played so many matches during the Christmas and Easter breaks.
They must have had kick-offs much earlier than 15:00 on Saturdays. When were mid-week matches played?

FA Cup games were usually played midweek at 3PM. Lots of Grannies/Grandpa's died a few time a season back then!

According to my 93 year old Dad,Saturday afternoon games kicked off at 14.00 hrs so that each game finished at around 15.40 hrs(10 minutes for half time back then) just before it started to go dark in December/January.I am amazed that they were able to pack in a 42-match season (46 in D3 and D4) before the days of floodlighting.

Also the other way around, didn’t one of our keepers back in the mists if time score a goal after getting injured and they stuck him out in the wing in the pre-substitute days?Is Niall Quinn the only outfield player (at the start of the game) to score a goal and save a penalty?
