WHO AM I. QUIZ

A place to chat about anything thats not football related. Most of the threads in here are completely pointless which is why people keep coming back and back. As the forum title suggests, feel free to make any post you want on any subject you wish. It also has Adult jokes (so be warned) which is the other reason people keep coming back.

I thought at once kevin keegan then realized it couldn't possibly be.

I think ian botham did indeed play league club football at some stage and he's about the right age also so going with that. The honor would most likely be an MBE for his services to sport. (or OBE perhaps)

No, it,s not McCarthy. Take note, our Mccarthy, not yours..

And mccarthy has an FA cup winners honor to his name ? That's news to me.

It's fair to say this name (you look for) is more recognized to a wider audience. Hope that helped you out.

I thought that was a catch question on the FA Cup.. he won a Scottish FA Cup winners medal and League Championship medal with Celtic. ?

will have to think this one over, good question mate, and a happy and healthy new year to you Saint.

I won't be enjoying a "happy" new year Gold and Black, although appreciate the time to mention. Wish you and your family (however) the best for the upcoming year.

Here is a couple more pointers :

# I have held an unwanted record

# I am one half of a photo classic


Take note this is a European footballer from the last 50 years

Here's a wild guess

Vinnie Jones

1 I played for a national squad that wasn't my country of birth....born in Watford played for WALES

#2 I have won FA Cup and league championship honours WIMBLEDON / LEEDS UNITED

#3 I was part of a time of soccer nostalgia

#4 I since moved on to bigger things.. FILMS

# I have held an unwanted record.....?

# I am one half of a photo classic.. JONES/ GASCOIGNE

Take note this is a European footballer from the last 50 years,,? Not sure if Watford is in Europe tho :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes it was Vincent Jones.

Unwanted record was being dismissed after three seconds for either chelsea or sheffield united, i forget which.

Soccer nostalgia was being part of the 'Crazy Gang' culture with Wimbledon in the late 1980s.

PS did you know he once threatened his then manager howard wilkinson with a shotgun on the team bus as there was a doubt about him not playing that day.

the only leads I had to Vinnie Jones were the clues # I am one half of a photo classic.. and him, being a Welsh International.
no I didn't know about the shotgun thing but not surprised,

Well done Wolfie. Excellent, hard as nails, Hibernian player, and the team was Liberton Cropley. Long story short, I was a right winger due to being lightening fast, but I was fking emptied in a particular match in a challenge on the bye line, ...., the knee completely packed in and never recovered. Football over and pie eating and beer ensued.

I went with Jean Tigana. Realize he played midfield mostly but worth a shot.
