A-League Trivia Thread

Okay, for any of you around in the NSL days.

Who scored the quickest hattrick in NSL history?

It was in the more recent times of the NSL for a clue.

 

[X_box_X]

No idea, but I'll guess Bobby Despotovski

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Nope. This guy should have been as prolific as Bobby though considering he was playing in front of the same midfield for a bit.

 

[thebigboy]

Jeez tough one.

Ante Millicic?

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Nope. This guy was a bit of a squandered talent but did end up playing for the side that he did this hattrick against.

 

[X_box_X]

jeez tough one.

Ante millicic?

lol?

 

[thebigboy]

lol?

Well he was good back in the old championship manager games so why not .

Damian Mori

 

[X_box_X]

Sure, he was good, but didn't play for Perth.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Always rated Ante Milicic ahead of David Zdrillic to be honest, considering how prolific he was at times in the NSL it's not a bad guess.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Not Frogger I'm afraid. He joined Glory at the same time this said player joined the team he scored the hattrick against.

 

[thebigboy]

Sure, he was good, but didn't play for Perth.

Yeah might have helped if id read the response for Bobby Despotovski

 

[Lowie01]

John Markovski?

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

No big Jonah, he wouldn't have been welcome at the club that this was scored against I think you'd find.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Okay, I picture him these days sharing a house with Con Boutsianis and they sit there all day on a couch pulling bongs and watching replays of their old NSL highlights. This player did score a hattrick at Perth OVal against the same team.

 

[Poz_Utd_V.2]

Vasilos Kalogracos ?

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Vasilos Kalogracos ?

DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!!

Yes, Vas Kalogeracos against South Melbourne in the 1997/98 season. He scored a hattrick in just under 20 minutes in a 3-3 draw that put Glory out of finals contention. He also scored a hattrick against Souths in the first season at Perth Oval in a 4-1 thrashing. Exciting player but his social life got in the way of greater things..was a bit of a dud at Souths but did play in the 2001 NSL Grand Final from what I can remember.

 

[Poz_Utd_V.2]

Sweet.

Give me some time I'll come up with something in a while

Sorry Poz, I might jump in, I lost my turn after I got a question, sorry mate

Should be a fairly easy one i think.

Which current A-League player scored in 3-3 draw in the 2000 NSL Grand Final between Perth Glory and Wollongong Wolves?

Which current A-League player scored in 3-3 draw in the 2000 NSL Grand Final between Perth Glory and Wollongong Wolves?

Very easy. Jamie Harnwell. But did you have to bring that up?

Bobby scored as well, and I can't remember the other scorer at the moment.

Poz_Utd_V.2 can take my question tough as I already have given one.

don;t want to be smart but that trivia question is wrong because Ljubo also scored for Glory and he is playing with the Jets (for now at least). He scored the third goal just on half time...I remember his ugly frankenstein like face on the big screen at Subiaco Oval.

Paul Reid also scored in the game (that...equaliser...) and he is now with Adelaide United.

Good pick up. Yeah I remember Ljubo now scoring. Plus bloody Paul Reid scoring the equaliser and I think by memory was it Gary Faria who missed the penalty which won the game for the Wolves?

I wonder which player meh was thinking of when doing the question???

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

It was James Afkos the poor bastard, his old man is a dog but he was never up to NSL standard. Gary Faria wasn't in the squad that day but played in 2002 from the start to replace the injured Brad Maloney. Shroj and Pondlejak completely dominated the midfield with someone as inexperienced as Gary in there and we lost again.

Ohh bugger I forgot to say which Wollongong player
So yes, I was thinking of Reid.

Interesting to see the a few of the scorers that day still around playing high quality football.
Another scorer that day?
Scotty Chipperfield

I know there are plenty of Glory supporters around that don't want to relive the heartache, but what a day that was, huge crowd from memory as well.

 

[DB10]

Jeez I'm good...it must have been the commentators telling me every time he had a shot that he hadn't scored since version 1......

Q - Name the only set of twins to have played A-League together.

Back tracking a bit, but actually there's two: Adam and Joel Griffiths and Jordan and Tyler Simpson.

The Simpson's played at Queensland and Perth together.
