New one-off blonde Football Quiz

[scotty2hatty]

A small twist on the usual football quizzes - in this one off special every question has a numerical answer and the distance you are from the correct answer is the amount of points you score for that question. Thus the idea is that you may not know the answer but can fire off a guess. At the end of the 20 questions, the player with the lowest score is the winner. Should lead to a fun reveal. Provisional deadline is Wednesday @ 6pm with the reveal that same evening @ 9pm.

Answers to be PM'd to myself.

Pretty sure I know the Shearer one, could make an educated guess at maybe four others.
