Just a heads up for those that would like to join us for tonight's quiz. Same format as usual and lots of extra points available for those that are quick off the mark.

I will post the questions on this thread at 9pm and then its everyone for themselves.

To play you must be logged in to Up the Clarets / Beehole End and type in your answers as a comment on the thread putting the QUESTION NUMBER followed by your ANSWER (ie 1k Bobby Charlton).

Other people who dont fancy joining in can simply do the quiz in their own time.

Just fire in your answers as soon as you spot one you know. If you take time to do all the questions and answers it is most likely others will have beaten you to it.

Today was a wash out of course so no excuse for people to not get in front of their computers or phones etc to join in the scrapbook quiz. Many of the questions are linked to the early 1970's but there are some others taking us into the 1990's.

ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE POSTED AT 9pm

6 Who Am I? (4 POINTS)

I was born in the South West of England. I achieved under 21 caps prior to joining Burnley and I played alongside such as David James, Alan Shearer and Steve McManaman. I left my home town club to sign for a former Anfield legend who was building his managerial reputation 'north of the border' and although not playing regularly I won a Scottish Premier League medal in 1991. Burnley paid a fee which broke the club record transfer at that time. I played in defence although I enjoyed using my pace and skill in more advanced positions on the field given opportunity. Sadly my time at Burnley was marred by a couple of fracture injuries although I played over a hundred league and cup games for the Clarets before leaving having spent just over 4 years at Turf Moor.
