Got everyone from 1988 onwards, but none before that (although I think I know the non-league team for 1979-80).

Edit - I’m wrong about the non-league team. We played them in 1982.

Im sure the Maidstone one was Billy McEwan, it's my first game that I can remember.

Not much time. But isn't it Billy McEwan the manager v Maidstone?

The broken leg, was it Simon Webster?

And was the sub John Francis v Bournemouth.
 
1995/96: I'm guessing it was Andy Linighan for his goal against the Pigs at Wembley

1996/97: Norwich

1997/98: Another United shirt

1998/99: That was drink-driving enthusiast, Jermaine Pennant.
 
1983-84 If you discount the 'replayed' game with Arsenal in 1999, then it was Arsenal again in 2005 when we lost at Bramall Lane on penalties.

1984-85 Blissett scored 4

1985-86 Colchester in 2006 when Warnock might as well have thrown the game. Haidong making his one and only terrible appearance.

1986-87 none other than our very own Chris Wilder
 
I can't answer the 92/93 because I was made to go to the bloody Pantomime at the Crucible

Oh yes I was!

The game in the fourth question, I went to that one, and to be fair the twat was brilliant that night. I seemed to remember he followed it up the Saturday after with a good display at high flying Huddersfield (0-0). Remember the game at Stoke, they were near the top of the top tier at the time, we were winning at half-time 2-1 and the players went off as though they'd won already. Stoke turned it round in the second half but the pig went on a great run, one on one with the keeper and his shot went just over the bar. I think most of us were expecting him to waltz it round the goalkeeper and boot it into an empty net, as he done for the pigs that always got shown on the credits before each episode of the ITV highlights programme the previous season.

1984 Arsenal in 2005 (they also won the game in 1999 after the void match of course)
1985 Blissett scored 4. Nobody has done that against us since.
1986 Colchester in 2006 were the next giant killers
1987 Chris Wilder
1988 Danny Begara. McEwan had been sacked after the previous game
1989 Simon Webster

1991 Luton Town
1992 Arsenal 7 Wednesday 1

I was at the replay in Saltergate and was behind the goal when they scored, you can see the goal below but the ball didnt hit the bar and went in off the keeper?

Jim Brown in goal for Chessy ?
 
I’m pretty sure that Hatton’s 200th goal & Edwards 100th were scored against Tranmere in the league game on 7/11/81
