But if it’s the ball I’m thinking of, wasn’t it a sweep out wide to the far wing? That’s fine by me, even if Sterling did have to perform some acrobatics. It’s the long straight high balls to the likes of Chaplin and Hiwula that I think we need to reduce, because 9 times out of ten it just gives...

Burge - 7 did everything he needed to do Sterling – 8 unrecognisable from the feeble early performances. Still perhaps badly positioned when they got that chance at the end though. Hyam - 8 dealt well with absolutely everything thrown at him, and undroppable on this form. Would just like to...

Bradford was appalling wasn't he? Meant to be a midfield general as I recall, but didn't even seem to be able to run properly and was totally out of his depth.

Been there, done that. Small kids can find it too much, with thousands of boistrous beer-and-pie-laden adults jumping up and down and screaming to celebrate the inevitable stream of City goals. But in my experience it's quite possible to simply move to a different part of the stand. It's...

Just seen this, and very pleased to have got them all right - it took some effort! In a few cases I actually recognised the players, but mostly it took some cunning digging on the internet and some help from a couple of my CCFC-related books. Many of Grendel’s questions were dauntingly obscure...

Ah yes, cheers G. For just one week at Christmas time, the evil monster comes out of his lair and spreads goodwill amongst men with a sadistic quiz :) I associated the player with a particular manager who wasn’t even in charge in the 70’s, so it did puzzle me a bit, and it turns out I was...

Got a full house up to now, with a bit of a struggle, but these latest two have me stumped. I thought I instantly recognised the first one, but when I looked up the player I had in mind they only appeared for us at the end of the 70’s, so I must be mistaken. Spitting image though - hairstyle...

Possibly the darkest post I've ever seen on here, and I only wish it wasn't so convincing:(

I seem to remember at the time that there was a bit of hype around his signing, and we all hoped he was going to tear opposition teams apart. His name sounded so good - I mean you don't look for too much from a Simon Blenkinsopp or a Terry Potts, but with this guy world domination was the least...

Jodi is easily my favourite player in the current squad, and it’s horrible that this injury has recurred. But it’s clear that he is now in absolutely the best hands. Hard though it is on him, he may need the patience to not even think too much about next season, and set his stall out to...

I thought you said the centre halves were easy! Not giving up yet though ...

Had only just cracked the first two mind-benders when this third one came up. It’s the first photo I have actually recognised, and the name popped straight into my head so I got this in seconds. They’re tough questions alright, but I’m a tiny bit hooked now. Sadly, if anything comes up...

I have always placed the blame 95% at SISU’s door for losing the opportunity to get a stake in the stadium for the club. I don’t really get how the City Council were supposed to turn away Wasps’ interest – it would have left SISU as the only game in town, with all the risks of extortion flowing...

And the location of the new stadium is …. Devil Gate Drive.

We may have only had Keano for a short time, but boy it was wonderful to have a player like that, alongside the other entertainers. All the talk was of the new stadium coming along and CCFC becoming a top club on a permanent basis. And I think Robbie genuinely bought into that at the time. It...

Yep - looking at his record, he scored 21 in 79 for us in the top flight which is impressive (considering I don't think he played as an out-and-out striker, and I would guess a lot of the appearanaces were as a sub). His general play wasn't great, but it was a joy to see him hit the ball - he...

Who remembers this guy? Looked like an insurance salesman, and moved around the pitch like one too, but had an incredible thunderbolt shot on him.

It’s brilliant for sealing dusty concrete floors. Sounds like you borrowed some from a neighbour?

Burge 8 - not sure whether he should have saved the goal, but otherwise played very well and made a brilliant point-saving stop at the end Thompson 7 – clearly more of a central defender, but full credit for a decent showing on his full debut Willis 9 – thought he was superb Davies 6 – no...

Burge 6 – got away with a few things today Sterling 7 – has improved beyond recognition from his early performances (and needed to) Willis 8 – a couple of embarrassing mistakes when attacking, but fantastic at the back Davies 8 – a centre half to build around Brown 5 – haircut like Willian...
