Title: John Trollope Post by: sir windon on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 01:08:01 Is it the case that his appearance record was broken by Dean Lewington on Boxing Day?
Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: DV on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 07:14:02 Yes.
Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: donkey on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 09:47:43 Nope. Trollope's was for one club only. Lewington has played for two.
Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: Cookie on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 09:49:24 His appearances for the record are all for franchise.
Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: Mooneyraker on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 09:50:09 Not sure why people keep saying this…
He’s beaten the record with this MK appearances only, fair and square. And on that basis, I take my hat off to him, as I’m sure JT does too. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: donkey on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 09:52:37 Nope, he played for Wimbledon. Different club. Milton Keynes acknowledge that too.
Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: Mooneyraker on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 09:54:19 Nope, he played for Wimbledon. Different club. Milton Keynes acknowledge that too. He has played for Franchise 771 times. That beats JT’s record. His 29 apps for Wimbledon are on top of that. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: sir windon on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 09:55:19 Nope, he played for Wimbledon. Different club. Milton Keynes acknowledge that too. Ah. That makes it interesting.Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: donkey on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 10:04:13 He has played for Franchise 771 times. That beats JT’s record. His 29 apps for Wimbledon are on top of that. Trollope's record is league games having only ever played for one club. Giggs came close. Yes, Lewington has beaten Trollope for 770. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: DV on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 10:45:33 Lewington has played more league games for MK than Trollope played Swindon.
It’s not that difficult to grasp. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: Mooneyraker on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 10:47:56 Lewington has played more league games for MK than Trollope played Swindon. It’s not that difficult to grasp. It seemingly is…! Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: donkey on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:30:49 Only ever playing for one club shouldn't be that hard to comprehend either, but here we are.
Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: Mooneyraker on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:33:42 Only ever playing for one club shouldn't be that hard to comprehend either, but here we are. The record had nothing to do with “only ever playing for one club.” It was the most league appearances for one club. Lewington has beaten it. The fact he also played 29 games for Wimbledon is totally immaterial. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: donkey on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:37:09 The record had nothing to do with “only ever playing for one club.” It was the most league appearances for one club. Lewington has beaten it. The fact he also played 29 games for Wimbledon is totally immaterial. Yes, but Trollope still holds the record for most appearances for one club and one club only. That was the point I was making. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: Mooneyraker on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:38:21 Yes, but Trollope still holds the record for most appearances for one club and one club only. That was the point I was making. No. He. Does. Not. I give up. Too painful. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: DV on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:44:17 Yes, but Trollope still holds the record for most appearances for one club and one club only. That was the point I was making. No he does not. Trollope holds the record for most league appearance for one club whilst only having played a complete game for that one club. Lewington holds the record for most league appearances for one club. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: donkey on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:46:01 No he does not. Trollope holds the record for most league appearance for one club whilst only having played a complete game for that one club. Lewington holds the record for most league appearances for one club. Yeah, I missed out the word league. Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: DV on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:49:21 Yeah, I missed out the word league. JT 889 STFC appearances in all competitions Lewington 892 MK appearances in all competitions Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: DV on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 11:54:01 Trollope does have a better goals to game ratio though of a goal every 31.75 games (all comp) compared to Lewington a goal every 37.17 games.
League wise they’ve both scored 21 goals over their 770 & 771 games respectively. I imagine JT has played more minutes over his appearances that Lewington has… Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: adje on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 12:03:15 Yeah yeah but Trollope was better than Lewington. That's all that matters!🙂
Title: Re: John Trollope Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, 12:29:02 Trollope does have a better goals to game ratio though of a goal every 31.75 games (all comp) compared to Lewington a goal every 37.17 games. Yeah... Trollope made his debut in 1960....5 years before substitutes were even invented... League wise they’ve both scored 21 goals over their 770 & 771 games respectively. I imagine JT has played more minutes over his appearances that Lewington has… |
