Name the player from the clubs they played for.

Post by Sidney1st » Fri Mar 24, 2017 10:00 am

Bit of fun instead for a friday.

Can you name the players using just the clubs they've played for?

Always like this type of stuff, cheers. I managed to get 15 which isn't too shabby. Some tricky ones in there.

15/20 some tricky questions but the ones I guessed I got wrong. Lacking a bit of luck to be a champion.

I got 14. I'd have probably done better if they'd restricted it to players who had played in England.

Well one is wrong without giving the answer away, it's number 11

15/20 included 1 guess but also the right answer that the paper has wrong.

12... should have got the last one right but I thought it too easy a guess.

Ah well, stick to your instincts

Are you being dense on purpose?

Ireland ONLY played for those 4 clubs and the question was which player has ONLY played for the clubs listed.

Given has played for more clubs then those listed........

If you can't wrap your head around it now then you need to go and lock yourself away somewhere whilst you think about it.

Given played for Blackburn too Macca. The answer is Stephen Ireland.

Shay Given is incorrect.

But other players also played for more teams than it listed. Or is it only recognisable clubs and senior appearences?

Very badly worder IMO as it's either every club they've played for or all these clubs listed.

I did that. Got done on the small print/technicality.

Sadly there are players on there that played for other teams before making their professional debuts too

Which ones?

I would imagine it's only professional clubs and senior appearances though.

I gave the same answer but then realised he probably played for more clubs and Ireland didn't; he only played for those clubs listed.
For the record, got 13 but knew SWP at 20 but put Lampard thinking he might have moved recently to Phoenix!!

It appears so. But again it doesn't say only all professional clubs.

Small error , but I don't think they intended that I think they put it in as either a mistake or to catch people out.

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't bothered, only on here would this descend into a discussion about which clubs should be named on the lists.... :lol:
