Slightly different this one

First picture is a clue to a relevant place for this player not a place of birth



As for the player its a anagram (hopefully correct this year)

Got all the players and I have a link for all of them too, but no idea how my link fits the 'link clues' so could be miles off!

CM 1

OK so normal POB here



_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Fairly iconic is that I think

He played for his country (all while with us) won a domestic trophy (not with us)

Clue:

It takes two and all that



Link clue - Devils Daughter (HOLY WAR) Ozzy Ozbourne

Is that a bonus point?

To clarify as its not that clear the link bonus will only apply if you get all the players - its like a tie break thing as I think a fair few will get all the players - one sub may be hard

Fairly confident I have them all so far and possibly the link, but won't know for sure until a few more come through.

CM 2

Born here. Well not literally here





_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Came to the club far too late so his time here was not exactly unforgettable. Only if he was a few years younger he could have been the Stardust we needed to push up the table. Left fairly soon after his arrival and we cannot pretend he was anything but a let down. Ended his career overseas, not a case of too young but too old in the end.

BONUS POINT ALERT: An extra point is available if you can identify the words in the above ramble that are clues to his identity and why (there is another clue as well but no points for that)

LM 1

Clue to birthplace



Probably 5th in line is a clue to the place - if you work out this its easy

He is still playing and now on his tenth club he has made appearances for I think.

Below is a clue to his first name and another clue there as well

Fairly sure I have all 9 and the bonus point. Still not convinced on the link however.

CM2 took me on a journey I didnt need to go on, making the clue more complicated than it was to Ysrael Zuniga. Quite a leap and not him, so I'm ok to post. He's only 46 now, I thought he was older when we signed him.

Centre Forward 1

I may as well get this one out the way - too easy but could not get the link to work for two strikers

This is not the place of birth - obviously - but work the clue to get it



Tried to make it harder with a young photo but doesn't really hide who it is

As for the player clue - its the sexiest sport star of 1981 posing nude....

Centre Forward Two

As it seems easy for most of you I have made this one a bit harder than originally intended.

If you have the misfortune to watch Only Connect hosted by the smug ghastly Victoria Coren Mitchell you may get how how this works.

I show 3 pictures and there is a connection to the player. You have to put an answer in for the 4th player AND the actual centre forward I have selected. So here the answer actually required is two players. I can clarify if that makes no sense. The first picture though is in keeping as it provides a clue to the place of birth - I think it will make sense

Picture 1



Picture 2



Picture 3



So the 4th picture is a ex player than links the above to the CF - so 2 players are need. If someone is being pedantic they would point only Only Connect operates in chronological order - this does not

LINK CLUE - Within the lyrics of Gone Hollywood by Supertramp lies a clue

I am not using the other sub as may need as a tie break

So that is it.

Get answers by end of the month - Jan 1 with proof of donation in a DM and I will work a winner or who gets into a tie break to win the book

Really appreciate the effort Grendel has put into doing this, and it’s been fun trying to work things out. But I don’t have all the players, and the link seems completely beyond me, so I am probably out at this stage. Good luck to the rest of you!

I’ve made a donation anyway - I see that the charity vaccinates dogs. Pretty sure that’s a sneaky way for the government to spread subliminal political messages via. their barking, and to remotely control their behaviour from GCHQ.

Is the 4th player a CF or just an ex player in general? Does the place of birth relate to the 4th player or the CF?

My thoughts exactly, I have all the players up until today's but I'm struggling to understand the link and CF2. Will have another look during Christmas but not confident I will even understand what to look for.
