Flicking through old home programmes. Came across a quiz 1980 season Vs Notts F. This quiz was regularly published that season, and carried a "Valuable prize" ?
Answers to Ron Pavey on a postcard.
How many words, 4 or more, no slang/Swearing etc can you make from this week's question. MIKE BAMBER.
Tried it myself on some of our recent squad.
Struggled with IGOR, But ALI...JHAN... got a few there.
Best points score I got was Carlos Baleba. Out of that I got. NEXT SEASON WHEN ATTACKING HEAD UP EARLY PASS TO TEAMMATE IN SPACE RUNNING IN ON GOAL. Ps anyone win that valuable prize?

I tried it with "Paul Barber OBE" and the answer went on for fifteen pages.

Not Brighton, but any excuse to post my favourite football related anagram.

Last time I got excited about anagrams for Albion footballers was Aseph Tounghi.

I remember seeing QPR play Leeds in the mid 70s and wondering if there had ever been another match with goalkeepers whose names were anagrams of each other.

That kind of thing was a lot easier in those days. It wasn’t like today, with names from all corners of the globe. In the 70s, footballers were only allowed four names: Geoff, Frank, Stan and Bob. That was it. So anagrams, pairs, matches etc - it was so much simpler.

That highlights how the game these days has lost sight of what fans want.

Back in the day fans used to turn up to watch 22 men on a field and try to make comparative anagrams of their names.

These days you’re lucky to spot a single matching pair.

Possibly not.

Fulham in the early 2000's though, had both John Collins and Collins John in their squads.
