The Ultimate FootballCynic Quiz for those with time on their hands No.6
Fed up with Christmas/New Year holidays? This should occupy the brains for a while before the return to work. What is the link between these four players?

Football Cynic: The Ultimate FootballCynic Quiz for those with time on their hands No.6
A regular lurker on this site and my first post. Have they all been involved in goals that were awarded as own goals this season.(FootballCynic writes: Good effort, Hartlepool Dreamer but not the right answer. Out of interest, what do you dream about Hartlepool?)

Oh, only once a week and it's nothing grander than winning the FA Cup or summat. (FootballCynic writes: And how long have you had these dreams?)

I think we need a clue here, Mr Cynic. I can't be connected to winning anything as Derby, Leyton Orient and Everton all fail on this count. So, it has to be something to do with the individuals. Is it linked to red cards? The Leyton Orient player is not in their team photo, so he must be a new signing or have departed for greener pastures. (FootballCynic writes: Goodness me, no clues yet. You are right, it is not connected with success)

Just seen the Poms kill us off good and proper but I know the answe to this one - none of the players have ever played for Grimsby Town. (FootballCynic writes: Well, yes, that's true, but it's not the winning answer! And.....why Grimsby Town?)

As a Leyton Orient supporter I'm ashamed to say I also don't know who the Os player is. I suppose living in a different continent from Brisbane Road is some excuse. At first I thought it was Jason Demetriou, which made it easy as all four would be internationals, but then I realised Jason had to leave Orient for FC Larnaca so he could qualify to play for Cyprus. Now I'm thinking it could be Stephen Dawson (who has only played for Ireland at futsal). Go on Mr Cynic, gissa clue! (FootballCynic writes: Standards are falling. So, this is the first quiz that has needed a clue. Maybe, if Andrey Arshavin was in the picture rather than the unknown Leyton Orient player, it might have been easier.)

Yeeeessss! I thought so. You think I'm kidding about the 9 hours!!! (FootballCynic writes: FootballCynic is indeed impressed!)

Brilliant indeed Danielle. It took four of us to crack it in the pub last night, only to find you'd beaten us to it. Now I know His Lordship felt after Quiz #5. I still don't think it looks like Ben Chorley though...(FootballCynic writes: It sounds as though 9 pints were needed to crack whereas Danielle took 9 hours)

Hey, this is better than me, rongworm. I was trying to solve a previous quiz when the answer was already gotten. (FootballCynic writes: This did amuse FootballCynic. Was 'rongworm' deliberate?)

Whoops....i did mean ringworm.....how embarassing is that? (FootballCynic writes: If Mr Ringworm is very offended, FootballCynic will try and smooth this one over for you)

I can live with it. And it was only six pints actually. The solution came round about Pint Five. (FootballCynic writes: A quiet evening then)
