'Ejeculate' is how the Queen will pronounce it in her Christmas Day speech. You heard it here first.

Anyway, I've rearranged the anagram to make it more topical -

VILAN O'HARE, U KAN'T JUMP 'N HIT GOAL

Right Midfield

I used to tell people I was born the same place as these guys:

This is not actually true of course - it just sounds cool versus the reality - which is more this:



Ironic as I occupied very little time at Coventry

Family photo time. Meet my mum:



Actually neither are my mum as I cannot find a picture of her in action but they could be as this really is my actual brother.

I think I have the RM, but I could be way off, CM1 I actually knew that one straight away.

CM2 no idea yet.

Googling for their names I came across that exact photo and still no bloody idea! I do have a tenuously related theory ... but it would be a stretch!

Bloody 'ell, G ! That has to be the most cryptic clue you've ever given out. And that includes yesterdays ejaculation anagram

Centre Forward

Some lateral thought required here

What have these famous people got in common?


Work that out and I will take the shirt off your back

Many thanks to the contributions already so now we can start

There has been some changes due to requests that there are too many older players

So this time there will be 7 players from 2000 onwards (most actually in the last 10 years and include 2 current players)

Two players are so old that even Rupert won't remember them (but very famous names) and there are a couple of cup winning squad players. Most names should be known to everyone. A manager and a backroom coaching staff member as well.


If you have not entered you can at anytime by paying £2.50 to the charity below:


Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) - Enriching lives through horses
At Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), our horses benefit the lives of over 25,000 disabled children and adults.
www.rda.org.uk

Don't know much about it but it seems a nice charity.

The prize is:

£25 to the winners nominated charity
£15 CCFC gift voucher (have to work the logistics on that one) - or it can go to the charity - winners choice.

REMEMBER NO POSTING ANSWERS JUST PM ME WITH THEM WHEN THE QUIZ IS FINISHED

Grendel, can you please clarify the statement '7 players from the year 2000 onwards'
Does that mean that all those 7 players were still playing for us from 2000 onwards, or still playing at some club from 2000 onwards?

It means 7 of the 11 have played for us this century.

I think i have the connection for the first centre forward clues but no idea how that leads me to a city player, infuriating as ever!

Its something all 4 have in common - the answer is pretty obscure and relates to a former player but nothing to do with their time here

I like my answer for cf2. Probably wrong but if it's wrong still like mine if it's right it's a clever clue.
