Here's one for fans of Pointless. In the last 50 years, 14 players have made just one league appearance for Liverpool. Can you name them with just the relevant season as a clue? Reminder: cups don't count.

1973/4 (x2)
1977/8
1980/1
1999/2000
2003/4
2004/5
2006/7
2009/10
2012/13
2015/6 (x3)
2018/9

18/19 is I think someone who came in as a sub at home to Palace in the 4-3 win and made a decent tackle very late in the game. Forgotten his name though.

Is 99/00 Jon Newby?

Hazell · « **Reply #2 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:25:08 pm »

Padelli is one against Charlton in 2007.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #3 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:35:19 pm »

15/16 Cameron Brannigan? Used a few during late season and the Europa run

CHOPPER · « **Reply #4 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:42:28 pm »

80/81 I’m plumbing for either Richard Money or, Alan Irvine?

1999/2000

Ferri? think he played one game under Houllier against chelsea as a sub.

Stevo · « **Reply #6 on:** July 16, 2023, 09:50:30 pm »

Ferri was 98/99.

12/13 - Conor Coady

15/16 - how many league games did Danny Ward play?

18/19 - Rafa Camacho

Claude Cat · « **Reply #7 on:** July 16, 2023, 10:18:29 pm »

Chirivella has to be one. Played in a fair few cup games but don't remember many league games at all.

Speedy Molby · « **Reply #8 on:** July 16, 2023, 10:23:48 pm »

Correct so far:

99/00 Jon Newby 0-0 Middlesbrough h
06/07: Daniele Padelli 2-2 Charlton h
12/13: Conor Coady 3-0 Fulham a
18/19 Rafa Camacho 4-3 Palace h

Brannigan, Money and Irvine all played more than once.

Speedy Molby · « **Reply #9 on:** July 16, 2023, 10:27:26 pm »

Correct.

15/16: Pedro Chiravella Swansea 1-3 a

09/10 Stephen Darby

09/10 Stephen Darby

If not him then maybe Daniel Ayala? He played after Skrtel and Carragher (I think) headed each other instead of the ball away at Spurs on the opening day.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #12 on:** July 17, 2023, 12:12:22 am »

03/04 might be Jon Otsemebor although I think he might have played a few games. Thought he looked quite decent.

04/05 I’ll guess John Welsh or Darren Potter. They bother featured a few times in League Cup and European qualifiers but probably didn’t get many league minutes. Think they started Palace away which might have been in between the two Chelsea semi final legs.

Correct.

09/10 Stephen Darby 2-0 Spurs h

6/14 so far.

Ayala, Welsh, Potter and Otsemabor all played more than once.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2023, 05:59:24 am »

Sergi Canos as one of the 15/16 ones?

Ferri made two appearances, as did Bernard Dimode and Paul Jones.. they were all my best guesses

I thought Jack Robinson at first because he made his debut at Hull on the last day of 09/10. But then he definitely played more. He came on at Arsenal with Flanagan when there were a few injuries under Kenny. Think he’s still going at Sheffield United.

VVM · « **Reply #18 on:** July 17, 2023, 09:12:23 am »

I think I remember Jordan Rossiter coming on against Arsenal in 15/16 and then he was injured on and off for the rest of the season and maybe only played a few Europa games so that would be my guess.

Stevo · « **Reply #19 on:** July 17, 2023, 10:06:05 am »

03/04 - Patrice Luzi

We beat Chelsea away 1-0 and he came off the bench when Dudek got injured

Speedy Molby · « **Reply #20 on:** July 17, 2023, 11:48:50 am »

Correct answers:

73/74 Max Thompson 1-1 Spurs a (Shankly’s last league match)
03/04 Patrice Luzi 1-0 Chelsea a
15/16 Jordan Rossiter 0-0 Arsenal a
15/16 Sergi Canos 1-1 West Brom a

We have 10/14.

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #21 on:** July 17, 2023, 01:49:53 pm »

04/05 David Raven or Zak Whitbread?

15/16 Joao Texeira?

Speedy Molby · « **Reply #22 on:** July 17, 2023, 02:17:51 pm »

Correct.

04/5 David Raven 0-2 Southampton a

Whitbread never played in the league, Teixiera played twice.

We have 11/14.

1973-74

Max Thompson and Trevor Storton

77/78 - Kevin Kewley

80/81

Colin Russell

Speedy Molby · « **Reply #24 on:** July 22, 2023, 12:30:32 pm »

Kelley and Russell correct, but Storton played five times. Still one to get from 73/74.

Edit: Thompson is correct, somebody got him earlier in the thread.

Researched Otsemebor as I thought him too, played quite a few times, I was shocked to find he was shot in the arse while out drinking

73/74 - Derek Brownbill

I was at the Derek Brownbill match at Birmingham in September 1973, a game I remember for an extraordinary miss by Phil Boersma when he somehow failed to touch in a cross from the left with the goal at his mercy. This was every bit as bad as Rosenthal at Villa or Saunders at Luton. I think we were 1-0 down at the time and then Bill Shankly brought on Brian Hall for Derek and Little Bamber scored a stunning equaliser from way out to earn us a draw.

Just as a side note Derek Brownbill was the nephew of Jim McManiman, who ran "The Three Lords" public-house in Aldgate in the City of London where the London Branch of the Supporters' Club used to meet for many, many years in the 1970s and onwards.

Speedy Molby · « **Reply #28 on:** July 24, 2023, 09:17:05 pm »

And we have them all.

1973/4 Derek Brownbill, Max Thompson
1977/8 Kevin Kewley
1980/1 Colin Russell
1999/00 Jon Newby
2003/4 Patrice Luzi
2004/5 David Raven
2006/7 Daniele Padelli
2009/10 Stephen Darby
2012/3 Conor Coady
2015/6 Jordan Rossiter, Pedro Chirivella, Sergi Canos
2018/9 Rafa Camacho

Thanks to all who took part.
