Title: Football Quiz Game Thing
Post by: scotty2hatty on May 09, 2009, 07:21:53 PM
Bear with me on this, I've just randomly made it up.

I'll give a short description of a player and someone has to guess who it is and answer by, perhaps, linking to their wiki page for evidence. Whoever gets it describes the next player. And so on.

.........

A defender who Gerard Houllier payed a reported 500k for in 1999. Currently playing in the Championship, on loan from a Premiership club. He's an International but does not play for the country of his birth.

I started my career at chelsea but after several loan spells (including 18 months @ brentford which was at the time the longest ever) I moved onto the club I’m most associated with

in my first 8 years at the club I played in all 4 divisions and have a runners up medal from both the league and fa cup

I’m a member of the small group of goalscoring goalkeepers

I have played for 5 English sides as well as clubs in Italy, Scotland, USA and China where I was voted 'Best Overseas player'.

He used to live in the same neighbourhood as 2 brothers who had an Uncle who joined the Royal Navy at aged 17.

Carlos Edwards?


Title: Re: Football Quiz Game Thing

Carlos Edwards?

I thought this, but no.  Carlos played for Wrexham, then Luton, then Sunderland...  (he's also played for 4 English league teams)

Looking at the clue again it says:

He has played for 3 teams in England, including Wrexham, and then he moved North of England to ply his trade.

It doesn't say 'the North of England', it says 'North of England, so I presume he played in Scotland (hopefully its not completely bizarre and he moved to Iceland or somehwere!)

Can we establish Peckham as the area he grew up, of Black origin, and moved from Wrexham to a Scottish side??

I also think the fact Horner has mentioned his junior goalscoring exploits is a throw off, clever that lad, defender I reckon...


Title: Re: Football Quiz Game Thing
Post by: dino1980 on May 20, 2009, 03:37:42 PM
I thought this clue: He used to live in the same neighbourhood as 2 brothers who had an Uncle who joined the Royal Navy at aged 17

Meant that he had perhaps played for Bolton (the trotters)


Title: Re: Football Quiz Game Thing
Post by: Horneris on May 22, 2009, 02:07:29 AM
I'm spoiling this.

A couple more clues.

He did indeed move from Wrexham to North of not just England, but The United Kingdom as a whole.

This player has also plyed his trade in Spain.

He grew up in Peckham, thats all i meant by that clue, i admit it wasnt a great clue, but its my first try at this

This player had an over 4 goals a game ratio between the ages of 10 and 14.

His father played in Goal for an African international football team.

He used to live in the same neighbourhood as 2 brothers who had an Uncle who joined the Royal Navy at aged 17.

He has played for 3 teams in England, including Wrexham, and then he moved North of England to ply his trade.
