British Transfer Record Quiz

Post by claretburns » Mon Feb 01, 2021 2:21 pm

Can you name every British transfer record, ingoing or outgoing, since 1981? 18 in total, 8 minutes to get them:

I only got 14/18, horrible performance once I saw the 4 I missed.

Got the first 9 names straight off quickly but struggled thereafter with a few. Two I couldnt get even in the fairly generous time allowed.

1.58 left when I got them all. Although I spent the first couple of minutes not realising it wasn't necessarily British players 😂

I got 4 :D

I guess I follow football rather than footballers. I really don't know much about non-Burnley players.

You mean Burnley aren’t on the transfer records?

Ahhh, to be on the list you have to sign someone :D

18/18, with exactly 4 and a half minutes left.

I was slow at the start because I didn’t realise you could just type surnames and not full names.

It is, but you still can't spell it.

Is there a quiz on the most expensive players bought from Stoke?

13 but I would have got a couple more if I could spell them, can't believe one I missed, a former Burnley manager as well, though I must stress the term manager very loosely.

What's noticeable is how many of those big money signings didn't work out, a lesson to be learnt from that surely,
