Darlington Trivia
A couple of Trivia questions:
In the 1910/11 Season Darlington reached the last 16 of the FA Cup but of the 16 clubs left in at that stage Darlington were the only club to have done what?
John Spuhler,Harry Bell,Ken Morton,Richard Davis and Tom Reynolds formed Darlington's forward line during the 1955/56 Season but what was unusual about it ?
Regards

Re: Darlington Trivia
Did they all finish their careers playing for Darlo as I don't recollect any of them signing for any other league club after they left us.

Re: Darlington Trivia
Got me thinking about that forward line and could it be that they all had jobs outside of football.I know Keith Morton and Harry Bell had, not sure about the others.

Re: Darlington Trivia
You may well be right in that but it is to do with something they had in common before they came to Darlington.QUAKERMAN2 wrote:Did they all finish their careers playing for Darlo as I don't recollect any of them signing for any other league club after they left us.

We will be playing at the arena again next season - fact.
Quakerz - if you actually attended games and spoke to people you might actually find our facts, rather than spreading s*** on this board.

Re: Darlington Trivia
Had the forwards all played for Sunderland?

Had they all suffered from rickets or diphtheria?
Were they all the illegitimate children of the The 13th Duke Of Wybourne?
Had each of them single single-handedly stormed a Nazi machine gun nest on D-Day, saving 15 men, been wounded, refused evacuation and been awarded a medal?
I have no idea! Good question.

The answer to Question 1 was that Darlington reached the last 16 of the FA Cup having played in every qualifying round which was the first time it had happened.
