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.
3. Boxing day 2003 will be remembered as one of Weymouth FC's finest days, after they beat archrivals Dorchester by an incredible eight goals to nil. Who started this goalscoring rout with a header after just five minutes?

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.
4. The New Years Day encounter between Dorchester and Weymouth was not quite so memorable, as it ended in a rather more tightly contested 2-2. It was memorable for one ex-Terra however, as he netted the first goal of the afternoon for Dorchester early on. Who was this goalscorer?

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.

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.

Answer: Torquay United

Lucas was goalkeeper, and then became the club president.
