Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. An amazing scoreline in this 1996 FA Cup first round tie at the Meadow, but do you recall the final score of Shrewsbury v Marine?

Answer: Shrewsbury 11 Marine 2

A useful cup run saw Shrewbury beat Scunthorpe (Round 2) and Fulham (Round 3)- both via replays - before losing at home to Liverpool in Round 4 by 4 goals to nil. The scorers against Marine were Dean Spink with a hat trick, an own goal, two for Peter Whiston, and goals apiece for Richard Scott, Chris Withe, Paul Evans, Ian Stevens and Mark Dempsey.

2. Who scored a hat-trick for Shrewsbury in the League Cup in 1997-98?

Answer: Lee Steele

It was Lee Steele who scored 3 in the 5-3 home defeat against Brentford, as Shrewsbury went out in the first round. The first leg was drawn 1-1 at Brentford, with Darren Currie scoring. In terms of the other players in the question, Devon White got a hat trick at home against Macclesfield in the League (won 4-3), whilst Steele also scored 3 at Leyton Orient (won 3-2). If you thought Paul Evans was the answer, his hat trick in the League Cup came a season later in the 4-3 win over Bristol City. A bit sneaky there, perhaps.

3. An unhappy moment: in 1998-9 Town lost 6-1 at Leyton Orient in a Third Division encounter. Who scored the solitary Town goal?

Answer: Kevin Seabury

It was Seabury, a long serving versatile player and one of my Town favourites. He played for Shrewsbury between 1992 and 2002 (when he joined Dover), after joining as a trainee.

4. Which Town favourite had three separate spells at the club, and scored one of the all-important goals against Exeter City to ensure Football League survival in 1999-00?

Answer: Mickey Brown

Having started at the Gay Meadow as an apprentice in 1986, he joined Bolton in 1991 prior to his second spell at the club (1992-94). He then left for Preston before rejoining Town in 1997 after an initial loan spell. He left for the third time in summer 2001 to join Boston United, his final goal coming in the 3-2 win over Barnet in 2000-01.

5. Here's a happier memory - the 7-1 Third Division win at Rochdale in 2000-01. Who scored a penalty in that game?

Answer: Steve Jagielka

They all scored in the match but Jagielka's was the penalty. Luke Rodgers got a hat-trick for the other three goals.

6. Town ended the 2000-01 season in style with a 3-0 win over the Third Division champions. Who were they?

Answer: Brighton and Hove Albion

Nigel Jemson got two and Luke Rodgers one as Town dispatched Brighton. The others all went up too. Incidentally, Town did the double over Blackpool this season, with 1-0 wins at the Meadow and at Bloomfield Rd. Shrewsbury themselves finished in 15th position with 55 points.

Answer: Mick Heathcote

It was, of course, Mickey Heathcote. He scored 2 goals in 2001-02, including a goal in the 1-1 draw against Lincoln City, the game in which Mark Cartwright was sent off. Heathcote scored 6 in his earlier spell giving him a total of 8 goals. Shrewsbury lost 2-0 to Luton Town on the final day of the season to miss out on the play-offs and finish 9th with 70 points.

8. Who did Shrewsbury take on loan from Hartlepool in 2001-02?

Answer: Tony Lormor

He scored 2 goals in 7 appearances for Shrewsbury. Both goals came in 3-0 home wins in the Third Division (against Mansfield Town and Swansea City respectively). Having returned to Hartlepool he subsequently joined Telford United.

9. Division Three 2002-03: the games against Bury were certainly interesting. A hat-trick was scored for Shrewsbury in both games, but which players were responsible?

Answer: Ryan Lowe and Nigel Jemson

Jemson scored 3 in the 4-3 defeat at Gigg Lane whilst Lowe got his first hat-trick for Shrewsbury in the 4-1 win at the Meadow. Peter Wilding got the other goal.

10. Which striker rejoined Shrewsbury for 2001-02 after a spell at Carlisle United?

Answer: Ian Stevens

Ian Stevens played for Shrewsbury between 1994 and 1997 and was quite prolific, playing a major part in the club's Auto Windscreens Shield cup run in 1995-6.
