Whens the last time we went through on Away Goals in a European Competition?

very interesting question, but not an easy one to answer....i'll add it to the to-do list. one for me to look at over the summer months. :mrgreen:

[tacconi]

ole debuted in 96/97

46 appearances overall - started 33 games (25 in league, 8 in europe), sub in 13 (8 league, 3 fa cup and 2 in europe)

scored 19 goals (18 in league, 1 in europe)

mr hernandez

32 appearances overall - started 17 games, sub in 15

scored 15 goals

the hernandez stats are based on a quick look at the info i have for this season. (normally i'd check them more thoroughly but i am a bit pushed for time tonight) excludes friendlies which i think is the reason why the figures may differ slightly to what you might find on sites like the bbc


they both have a record of a goal scored about every two games

hernandez has a slightly better goals to game ratio, and it also comes across as a slightly more impressive record because of the greater number of appearance off the bench

however there are still games left this season so there is time for hernandez to bang a few more in, or he might hit a dry spell

lets put this in perspective - Ole carried on scoring over a number of seasons (best was in 01/02 with 25 goals from 47 appearances), and he bought us a whole host of happy memories. still a legend. hernandez has some work to do yet to get anywhere near Ole's career at MUFC. But so far he is looking very promising

Cheers, just about what i thought, and i suspect that if you take goals/minutes then Hernandez will be much better.

Whens the last time we went through on Away Goals in a European Competition?

At a guess i'd say Dukla Prague in '83-'84 cup winners cup, think it was 1-1 at home & 2-2 away.

Not sure if this is the only time.

We've gone out a few times on away goals mind.

Quick Question without meaning to tempt fate,

Can you put up a list of how many games each player has played in the league, to see who will qualify for a medal if we get across the line, please

Thank you,
