Who said the Guardian was just for BarnaBlue?

I got 18 and am kicking myself at the two I got wrong because I always used to sign them both.

14.

Good quiz.

I was probably a bit young for that. 11/20

 

[OldBlueLady]

11. I was probably a bit female for that :winking:

 

[Benfleet A1]

A lucky 9.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

17:blush:

I clicked on the wrong button for one and got the Italian and Spaniard wrong.

Generally those players were all too old for me to sign. It took a couple of seasons for Southend to have the cash and by then they didn't fit within my transfer policy.

Thinking about it, I actually pioneered Moneyball a decade before Moneyball. I use to buy the best 17 year olds, loan them out until they were good enough to make my team and then flog them when they were 28 before their value went down. I was way ahead of my time.

That was definitely the way to go and players always went massively downhill in the season that they turned 31 and then were pure crap from that point onwards but you could find some bargains in the players who started old. Lee Chapman had a much more successful Southend United career for me than he ended up having in reali life, and almost as a good a goals per game ratio as well.

17/20, got one of the Liverpool players wrong annoyingly!

 

[CyrilSneer]

18/20. Got the Italian wrong, and the Liverpool one wrong, mainly because it said he was English, and I remember him scoring for Scotland against England. He must have not declared his nationality by then.

11, but I think FM had one wrong. Question 3 was Chris Waddle, but the description had him as pretty unfit, which put me off. Apparently at the 1990 world cup, even though he always looked knackered, CW was actually one of the fittest in the team. He just always looked knackered.

Chris Waddle is player/manager of a Sunday League team in Sheffield. My 6-a-side teammate got a shock when his Sunday team saw him lining up against them!

Just realised that post was a bit 'Barna'.

Back on topic!

I only got the Italian one right because I remember Conte being one of the very few foreign players available for sale in the game.

I spent a significant portion of my youth playing this game and bringing untold glories to Southend United.

Also, Dmitri Kharine is not Latvian

19/20 gutted

Damn you Dave! Who did you get wrong?
