Name the soccer star quiz with Arsenal icon, Premier League cult hero and iconic striker
What better way to break up a boring Monday back at work when it’s wet and cold outside than with our weekly quiz Name the Football Star.
Our Star Gold premium subscribers can test their football knowledge here. You 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, plus their vital statistics.
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?
There are some very familiar names this week including a man who went from an Arsenal to hero to villain, a Premier League cult hero and a man Chelsea fans will never forget.
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.
If you can’t see the quiz above, click here. Let us know exactly how you got on in the comments section below.
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.
