Those were very good guesses with Frank Vincent and John Bostock. I wouldn't put anything past you @CliftonMagpie. ;)

I see you're holding your cards this round quite close to your chest, I think you may have given a bit of a big clue with the first part. We shall see. I am surprised. @super_ram hasn't had a stab at who it could be.

I suspect that this is Frank Vincent, with his recent release.

I aim for this game to be fun, so please join in. However, there is one rule that I ask you to follow: please make every effort not to spam answers and write your guess in at least a sentence. Le

Yes, he has retired. He had a very successful career, though not without its lows. His presence would divide opinions until you saw him play. Most of the clubs he had stints with would call him a lege

No, that’s not quite right, but it was a good guess. I’ll reveal a little something that might help you figure out who this person is - he played in the same position on the pitch as John Terry. Keep those guesses coming!

I like it! However, it’s incorrect unfortunately. I never thought that mentioning John Terry could lead to Sol Campbell, but it’s a clever assumption.

Has me stumped does this. The only name I came up with was Ian Hendon, but he didn’t play as a centre half.

I apologise, I made an error. I initially believed he was a right back, but upon checking to confirm, I discovered references to him being a centre back. @Fozzy is indeed correct; I am uncertain if he played there later in his career.

I shall update the table and return with a new participant tomorrow around 6pm.

Round 8 has arrived and it's uncertain whether it will be challenging or straightforward. The hope is that it will be more difficult and require several rounds of clues. Best of luck to all!

Clue: This person is an English football coach and former professional footballer. They began their career with a Premier League side and went on to play for several Football League teams before playing in Non-league. They returned to one of their former teams as a joint player/manager before departing at the end of a season. Can you guess who this person is?

Peter Reid springs to mind but I don’t think he played in non league.

Did he spend much time at Notts? I believe I may have several ideas, but I would like to narrow it down.

@Fan of Big Tone - no, neither of those two players.

In my opinion, he didn’t spend much time at Notts. His career wasn’t as successful as @liampie’s. I don’t want to comment on that. However, he is known for participating in many charity games.

Round 9

Clue: This person was born in a region of the UK known for its textile industry and started their career with a football club located in Greater Manchester. They were voted as the greatest-ever in their position by fans of a certain club. They also represented their country in two sports. Can you guess who it is?

Has this run its course? If no one guesses, I'll call it a day doing this. :thumbsup:

@CliftonMagpie I’ve racked my brains but can’t come up with a credible answer. Any more clues?

Same here @Fan of Big Tone. The represented their country at two sports has thrown me as I’m thinking football and cricket logically, but can only think of William Gunn, but he didn’t play for a Manchester team. The other logical guess is Kevin Nolan, but he didn’t play for his country. I’m stumped.

Guys, feel free to ask questions. If you don't know, that's the only other way you will get closer.

He represented his other sport in the late 80s. His time at Notts may have been forgotten, but he remains a legend with the club where he made his name. He identified himself as a national of another country.

Technically, he is English and was born in a region near Manchester. He is an Englishman who has forgotten.
