Just chucking a few answers down but I suspect I am too late to the party! I have been to Ireland this weekend and still feeling pretty sluggish from a few too many pints of Guinness

Pleasure to meet you the other weekend BeeHole, shame it wasn't on the back of a win. Hopefully bump into you again soon though. I am planning to be on the 1325 train to Burnley on Saturday, so if you are getting the train there (or back), then definitely give me a message and will try to sync the journey. Ideally I will have time for one in the Thatched before I go as well

Welcome Poulton le Claret and was good to talk last week on the train. Sadly our chat was not enough to earn 3 points for the Clarets at Goodison Park. Will probably be on an earlier train and in New BrewM by 1 pm - cheaper than Thatched. Yes perhaps a meet up before end of season would be good.

4 excellent correct answers above but already answered by our resident starmen. Keep trying as a few still to get.

[beeholeclaret]

1d Surely not Russell Osmium

Ha ha youre getting too good at this game - yes indeed the one and only Russell Osmium one of the @iron curtain' defence at Ipswich in the seventies. 2 more points.

6 Who Am I? (5 POINTS in total)
I was born in Dumfries and I played for 2 clubs in my native Scotland early in my career before a transfer to a Spanish club put me in the spotlight. My name is Kevin although I was known by a different first name for all of my footballing career. In fact I was also known by a nickname bestowed upon me whilst later playing in England. After a year in Spain I was the transfer target of a prominent English club in the midlands and my wing play helped them to 5th place in Division One in the late 1980's. I became unsettled in the early 1990's and joined another midland club although once again I struggled to make an impact at first team level. Having come to the notice of Burnley fans in a memorable Cup tie at Turf Moor I was later to join the Clarets when I was signed by Jimmy Mullen becoming a popular figure with supporters despite only playing just over a half century of games.

6a. My name (4 POINTS) …................................................... TED MCMINN
6b. My nickname (1 POINT) ….................................................TIN MAN

[NL Claret]

Thought I’d got 10 however looking at answers it’s an 8 for me. Luton, Colchester, Ted McMinn/ Tin Man.

I had Branch (and Paul Cook) both signing from Tranmere, had forgotten their time at Stockport. Both great signings.

Edit 9, Clive Middlemass

[Poulton-le-Claret]

4 excellent correct answers above but already answered by our resident starmen. Keep trying as a few still to get.

Great shout with the New BrewM, good venue and definitely cheaper I may end up with a spare ticket and then likely on the early train so I can grab one in the Bridge as well as the Thatched with the father in law. Yes, hopefully catch you before the end of the season and certainly on these future threads, thanks for organising

[jdrobbo]

Many thanks for the quiz! I was updating Rate the Ref at the time so I’ll take my second place graciously. Congratulations to Tricky Trevor! Top man

Hi NL claret. Thanks for trying the quiz. There are some tough questions and some of our board members are very quick on the draw. Although it doesnt show on the message board quite a number of people dont look at the live thread and simply do the quiz at home prewsumably quietly away by themselves. I will perhaps do a rating guide in future weeks indicating levels of achievement to give people a bit of an incentive. I think 9 points would be a grading of "Good effort - potential for future" or something like that. Sounds like something that would be published in The Sun.

[FCBurnley]

Just got home ( time difference) so missed the show Damn but here are my very belated fun point metallic entries
Ian Ure(anium)
David Copperfield ( played for Las Vegas )
LEA Dixon

Pathetic I agree

Extra question
