Little bits of history. (2 Viewers)

[1ccfc]

Just looking back at a few of our players mentioned in recent threads. It's nice to see we have written a little bit of our own history in the record books.

Isaias, first Brazilian to play in the premier league.
Carlita, the first Portuguese player to be signed by an EPL team.
Ndlovu, the first African player to play in the EPL, also must have been the first Zimbabwean.
Yevtushok, the first Ukrainian player to play in the EPL. (Thanks skyblueelephant76).

And we also had Highfield Road, England's first all-seater stadium.

What other records do we have?

We mist have broken a few away support records the last few years at various grounds.

 

[Magwitch]

First club to have played all our games away from home and got promoted,

 

[Brylowes]

Highfeld Rd was first stadium to have an electric scoreboard.

CCFC were the only club to play in every division of English football in all its guises
ie: Prem, 1st Division, Championship, 2nd Division, 3rd Division, 3rd Division South,
3rd Division North, 4th Division , League 1, League 2

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Record away attendance, 55K in the Charity Shield v Everton

 

[Deleted member 5849]

First team to screen an away game live to their supporters (I think).

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Steve Mokone- first South African to play in any of the major European leagues

Last team ever to climb the traditional steps up to Royal Box at Wembley to lift the FA Cup

Was Ndlovu or Bruce Grobelaar

 

[Deleted member 5849]

First kit sponsorship in the football league (again I think, and not sure if that was because it was banned so we circumvented it, a bit)

 

[fernandopartridge]

Isaias was the first Brazillian to score in the Premier League

I think Nuddy the first African to score in the Premier League, doubt he was the first Zimbabwean as Grobbelaar was still at Liverpool then

 

[fernandopartridge]

First Hondurans to play in the Premier League at a guess

 

[bawtryneal]

The biggest **** ever as a Chairman.

I bet there haven’t been many since.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Wilson Palacios

 

[TomRad85]

Yes pretty sure one of them scored agaiant Bradford 4-0 win

 

[skybluelee]

Record away attendance, 55K in the Charity Shield v Everton

About 10 teams claim to hold this record.

 

[fernandopartridge]

First Bosnian player in the Premier League or the top flight generally (Bosnia was part of Yugoslavia from 1918 to 1992)

 

[skybluesam66]

first electronic scoreboard
first colour matchday programme
first leaders of the premier league

 

[skybluelee]

Yes pretty sure one of them scored agaiant Bradford 4-1 win

Zuniga - Peruvian

Guerrero once and we got smashed at Liverpool

which one - we probably have the top 3 at least

Nah Zuniga scored in a 4-1 vs Wednesday so you may be thinking of him, not sure if he scored in the 4-0 vs Bradford. Only going off memory, Guerrero only scored in friendly and Martinez got 2 in the championship, Millwall and Barnsley.

[Joy Division]

Record away attendance, 55K in the Charity Shield v Everton

Not sure a neutral venue can be classed as an away game but I do think we hold the official record for the away following at Old Trafford in the league cup in 2007

 

[Joy Division]

I bet there haven’t been many since.

Wilson Palacios and Manyor Figueroa are probably the only others I can think of

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Guerrero would have fitted into this current side quite well as he was more of a wing back than full back.

 

[Hadji's_Goatee]

Hadji: The first Moroccan with a badass beard to play in the Premier League

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The first Croatian to sign never play and then be sold in very suspicious circumstances

 

[Joy Division]

Martinez will never be forgotten for his celebration away at Barnsley

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Was this the Talbot shirt, where the T was sort of 'hidden' (bad choice of words, but don't know how else to put it right now) as part of the kit design?

The big t kit my very first kit

 

[rhino1002]

CCFC are the only club to play in every division of the football league
1st 2nd 3rd and 4th division 3rd div north and 3rd div south
premier league, championship, league one and league two
a feat no one else has ever done and will ever do again

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Under Jimmy Hill we were a very progressive club for ideas. Think we were first to charter trains ( Sky blue express).
Sky blue pool was also a first I think. Also pioneers in large screens for away games. Got our fingers burned investing in USA as well.
