Amazed no one got it all correct this year. So a tie at this stage unless we get any late entries

I've only got 11 and 1 or 2 of those are a bit dubious so haven't entered. Great work though G, really got the old grey matter into overdrive!

I haven't sent an entry, but owe Rob the entry fee he paid on my behalf. Great quiz, but I've performed like City in the second half against Millwall!

HNY back mate!!

Millwall farce - last minute decision to go. NHS Cov-id passport on phone, 95% done, then battery drained, so failed and did lateral flow instead, Reported result on laptop and requested txt confirmation. wanted to set off in time to pinch one of our/your 'secret' parking spaces, but phone had about 15% charge and couldn't find the lead too charge in car. Had to keep everything crossed that phone kept enough charge to show text to gain entry (luckily did), managed to pinch one of the spaces to park and was relieved to see you had grabbed the final space after the match! See you soon and love to the family!

When we getting the answers, some of the questions are so cryptic it's worse than an episode of 3-2-1

OK so answers are as follows (with explanation where required)

Goalkeeper - Peter Taylor (were some clues here - picture of Timothy Spall as Barry Taylor but also reference to Damned - Spall played Peter Taylor in This Damned United)
Right Back - David Pipe - they were all pipe smokers in the picture (he played at the Ricoh in League 2 for Newport County)
CD 1 - Andy Webster
CD 2 - George Mason (Was a brick mason in the photo)
Left Back - Patrick John Miguel Van Aanholt
Right Midfield - Peter Vincenti - Clues related to Jersey
CM 1 - Ben Sheaf
CM2 - Gustavo Martin Emilio Hamer
Left Midfield - Nick Pickering
CF 1 - This caused some issues. Clue was shirt and the pictures we all of people who died at 94. So it relates to the clubs finest ever athlete:

Max Biamou: '94' reasons why I'm keen to become a Dundee United hero

Max Biamou will carry the hopes and dreams of his childhood neighbourhood on his back as he sports the number 94 on his Dundee United debut. Biamou will

CF 2- Keith Houchen - his biography was 10 pounds and a box of kippers

Subs

James Person
Julien Darby

Manager - Don Howe

Backroom staff - The other one that caused some issue but here is the direct link

Strictly's Kai Widdrington’s famous footballer dad & Britain's Got Talent stint

Kai is not the only star in his family
www.mylondon.news

We have a tie with Steve Cooper and Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon getting 14 each - they have agreed the £40 should go the headline charity so that will be sorted this week.

Thanks for taking part - raised a fair bit this year I think and hopefully another one next year all being well

I'd have had the keeper wrong - Tim Dalton ( James bond)
No clue on sub 1.
Actually got the dance one. No idea who this Kai is but was the only surname I recognized when I wikied the cast list.

I spent several days trying to link auf widersehen pet to a city player, then it just happened to click all of a sudden

13/15 - I'm also really pleased Mifsud wasn't coirect as I'd meant Mcindpe being a reference to the 4 of them connected to bankruptcy and the shirt off your back for the ponzi scheme. The fact he's a midfielder irrelevant once I'd blamed mifsud in my head!

The other wrong was the Strictly as I put Dave Busst who did it for Zoes place.
