Name the soccer star quiz with iconic striker, Invincibles star and Man Utd unhealthy boy

It’s time for some fun during a boring Monday back at work as we invite you to test your knowledge in our weekly quiz Name the Football Star.

Our Star Gold premium subscribers simply have to identify famous stars from the beautiful game. What could be easier? Well, there’s a catch – all you have to go off is the player’s Wikipedia profile and their senior career clubs and goals.

This week among the answers there’s an Arsenal Invincibles icon, one of Africa’s greatest ever players who graced the Premier League in the twilight of his career, and a Manchester United Treble-winning legend with a reputation for being a football wildchild off the pitch. And you can always have a go at last Monday’s quiz if that sounds too easy.

The only clues you’ll be given are their list of clubs, number of appearances and number of goals scored – essentially the information on the right-hand side of their Wikipedia page. However, you won’t be privy to their nationality or position. So can you identify the five footballers just by perusing their Wikipedia column?

So, fancy a punt at guessing some of the players in this week’s Name The Football Star quiz?

To bag all five points, simply type in the name of the player you believe it is. But watch out, any misspellings will result in a fail for that question.

But we’re feeling generous so we’ll accept either their full name or just their first or last name – whichever you can remember.

And don’t forget to challenge your mates and family to beat your score so they too can squander 10 minutes of their workday while they’re shackled to a desk.

If you’ve enjoyed this quiz, and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you? Then make sure to return every Monday for another instalment.
