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.

No that last response was incorrect


#1 I was one of the most gifted players of my generation

#2 I was part of a great team that didn't win the ultimate honor they so much deserved

#3 I have played in a European final

#4 I was not afraid to participate in some gambling

#5 I met a tragic end in unusual circumstances

#6 Only those of a certain age will recognize who I am

#7 I share, with a handful of people, an unwanted and rare distinction

#8 My greatest time can easily be fitted into one particular decade

#9 I can be associated with a James Bond title

#10 I put myself in harms way and made a fateful error that proved to be the last



More participation is always encouraged

For me, Saint, not one of those clues takes me closer to the answer. Is it a football player? Will that be too big a clue?

Well you people participating there should have an advantage other most others.

No it is not Marvin Gaye and Yes it is a soccer player

#11 Some would describe me as transparent

#12 My most involved years would be between 1960 - 64

#13 I was one of my national teams greatest talents

#14 I was part of domestic set-up that involved the UK's greatest goalscorer

#15 Drinks manufacturers made a killing out of my name

Maybe in retrospect this is a player that many (if not all by the looks of it) will be unable to recognize.

Here are five more clues that will hopefully give it away and provide a greater assistance


#16 My demise had nothing to do with self-harm but a fatal error of judgment

#17 I played alongside Jimmy Greaves

#18 My death occured at a time when Inter Milan were champions of Europe

#19 My national team was with Scotland

#20 One color alone will be the final answer required to find who I am



Can't provide any more assistance than the above but it should be enough

Without the extra clues provided this would never have been solved anytime soon

Yes it was John White

Struck dead by lightning while playing Golf by himself in '64

If you go through all 20 clues there's something relevant in each one

I did think it was him, but as we had done him before I thought it couldn't.

I actually met him in 1962, great lose to football.

Does he like Walkers Crisps?

The card clue gave that one away.

Seriously though, if you were playing against him near the end of his playing career, and you knew this fact, you'd have to goad him eh?
"Aw right, Gary........, saw yer mum out on the town last night snogging Willie Thorne!"
SNAP!
RED CARD!

I was born in 1970.
I played 63 times for my country of birth and scored 30 goals.
I played for a few clubs, but for one of those clubs, I appeared 138 times and scored a whopping 112 goals.
In Markos opinion, I was flippin brilliant.
