Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was Weymouth football clubs top goalscorer during competitive matches in the 20th century?

Answer: David Laws

Lawsey helped himself to 42 goals in the Terras promotion season, and followed it up with 28 in the following 98-99 season. He started the 2003-2004 season with Portland United.

2. Following Steve Claridge's return to the club in summer 2003, who was the first player he signed up?

Answer: Scott Partridge

Scotty was signed up after being released from division 2 side Rushden & Diamonds, but was allowed to leave the club in January 2004 on a free transfer to Bath City. During his short spell with the club, he notched up 9 goals in all competitions, despite most of his appearances for the club being from the substitutes bench.

Answer: Simon Browne

"Ape" scored a rare goal to against his former employers to get the ball rolling, and this was followed up with a hat trick apiece for Phillips and Claridge, and a late free-kick from Lee Philpott.

Answer: Alex Browne

Having been one of the clubs best ever defenders and club captain, Terras fans were more than a little dissapointed when he was allowed to leave to join archrivals Dorchester before the 2003/2004 season, and things weren't helped when he gave Dorchester the lead in this News Year's Day clash.

However, Weymouth still should have taken the 3 points, but a ludicrous penalty was awarded against rookie defender Dennis.

5. Which one these players has never played in goal for Weymouth?

Answer: Mark Ormerod

Ormerod is the Dorchester number 1. Potter played in goal for Weymouth during the late 90's, Baker was the 81-82 season goalkeeper, and Simon Browne filled in for the majority of a Dr. Martens Premier League clash in the 2003-2004 season, after first choice goalkeeper Jason Matthews sustained a nasty head injury.

6. Steve Tully joined Weymouth in 2002 from which league club?

Answer: Torquay United

Tully won the most improved player of the season award in his first season at the club.

7. Which one of these players played hundreds of games for Weymouth during the 20th century?

Answer: Phil Stocker

Tully joined in the 21st century, Claridge's first spell at the club during the 1980s didn't accumulate to 100 appearances, and Robbie Earle, unlike co-pundit Andy Townsend, has never played for the Terras.

8. Which position did Weymouth club president Bob Lucas play in, when a member of the playing squad?

Answer: Goalkeeper

Lucas was goalkeeper, and then became the club president.

9. The first game played at The Wessex Stadium, after it was officially opened, was a Weymouth victory over Manchester United.

Answer: True

1-0 to the Terras. The opening match on 26th August 1987 was a 3-0 win in the GM Vauxhall Conference against Lincoln City. The ground was officially opened on the 21st October 1987 with a prestigious friendly against Manchester United, watched by a record 4,995

10. Which of these players, all of which have been on the books at Manchester United, have never played for Weymouth?

Answer: Michael Appleton

Michael Appleton is the only ex-Red Devil not to play for the Terras, although none of the others listed lasted too long at the Wessex, Webb was player-manager for a short spell.
