    Hi folks

    This is the first in an occasional series of tough BFC related questions. Unless someone gets the correct answer I'll post the answer tonight. I'll also keep a running score of who is first to get the correct answers (if anyone does!), so we can crown the BBS statto.

    First up, there has been talk of Willie Ferry on here recently, and he really was the worst player ever to play for us. Can anybody remember that dive he made at Oakwell, where even the referee laughed?

    Anyway, the question is, who were the opponents he lined up against on his first appearance on the hallowed turf at Oakwell?

    Answers please.

    The 2-2 draw

    When Garth Crooks equalised for them in the last minute?

    Ipswich away. His record wasn't that bad in terms of goals per game. 4 appearances, 1 goal. There's been far worse than that.

    It might just be me

    But the number of times we've conceded late goals far exceeds the occasions we've scored them.

    From the way the question's worded I'm going to guess Barnsley.

    Don't know or remember the guy though!

    His first appearance at Oakwell, so not including away games.

    Good effort, but as far as I am aware he's never lined up against us. He'd probably score if he did though!
