benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Hi Saints fans, Fitzhugh Fella has made an excellent website with profiles of literally many Saints players on it. Here it is: https://www.saintsplayers.co.uk I am going to post a snippet from the profile of a player and you have to identify the geezer in question. The first correct answer gets 5 benjii points. Incorrect answers which tickle me get 1 benjii point. Lets start with an easy one: Living in north-west London, he made national news in December 2019 when he was found guilty of exposure and performing a sex act on himself in front of a woman and her 16 year old daughter.
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Well done Colin's BJ. 5 benjii points. Ok, next one. This one is much tougher: He could still lay on the most incisive of passes, and he had a shrewd footballing brain but when the tough got going he could also prognosticate and go missing.
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 (one reason why it's tough is because "prognosticate" doesn't seem to make sense in that context)
Batman Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 a lunatic who wandered the length and breadth of the UK ????
Avenue_Saint Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Well done Colin's BJ. 5 benjii points. Ok, next one. This one is much tougher: He could still lay on the most incisive of passes, and he had a shrewd footballing brain but when the tough got going he could also prognosticate and go missing. Gaston?

CB Fry Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Well done Colin's BJ. 5 benjii points. Ok, next one. This one is much tougher: He could still lay on the most incisive of passes, and he had a shrewd footballing brain but when the tough got going he could also prognosticate and go missing.Belmadi?
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Tadic? Boom shake the room! 5 benjii points to Norway. Norveige, cinq points.
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Here's another one. Yala! The manager could not have been more wrong. After starting just one game, during which he failed to impress and was substituted, [mystery man] was never seen in the Saints’ colours again

benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Ali Dia Depressing that we've had two players who fit that description!
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Ok, here's one for the ladies: Fulfilling these roles with relentless energy and long blond locks, he was, inevitably, an eye-catching crowd-pleaser.
Bananaman Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Ok, here's one for the ladies: Fulfilling these roles with relentless energy and long blond locks, he was, inevitably, an eye-catching crowd-pleaser. Johno Quick for sure
norwaysaint Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Ok, here's one for the ladies: Fulfilling these roles with relentless energy and long blond locks, he was, inevitably, an eye-catching crowd-pleaser. Chris Marsden?
mikec Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Ok, here's one for the ladies: Fulfilling these roles with relentless energy and long blond locks, he was, inevitably, an eye-catching crowd-pleaser. Iain Dowie ?
CB Fry Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Good guess. One benjii point.Woah. I'm just pleased I've achieved something today.
CB Fry Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 (edited) Ok, here's one for the ladies: Fulfilling these roles with relentless energy and long blond locks, he was, inevitably, an eye-catching crowd-pleaser. Did Barry Venison have long locks for us? He certainly had "roles" as a midfielder and full back. Edited 27 April, 2020 by CB Fry

Viking Saint Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Here's another one. Yala! The manager could not have been more wrong. After starting just one game, during which he failed to impress and was substituted, [mystery man] was never seen in the Saints’ colours again Ali Dia didn't start a game, did he? Didn't he come off the bench?
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Ali Dia didn't start a game, did he? Didn't he come off the bench? Correct actually. So Falque achieved more than Dia.

benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Ok, this is a tough one. Ten benjii points for anyone who gets this: "By now, he was again a part-timer, living near Bristol and delivering parcels for UPS."
SaintBobby Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Ok, this is a tough one. Ten benjii points for anyone who gets this: "By now, he was again a part-timer, living near Bristol and delivering parcels for UPS." Rickie Lambert? Or was that a beetroot-packing factory?
Lets B Avenue Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Ok, this is a tough one. Ten benjii points for anyone who gets this: "By now, he was again a part-timer, living near Bristol and delivering parcels for UPS." Frankie Bennett?
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 Frankie Bennett? Superb! Ten, TEN, benjii points. Wow.
Lets B Avenue Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 Superb! Ten, TEN, benjii points. Wow. Thinking of someone who was part time when we signed him. Don't tell Dunc but I haven't clicked on the site yet.
benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Author Posted 27 April, 2020 An excellent effort. 110%. Ok, last one for today. I will do a score update tomorrow and release further questions. So, final for today. Brief one: "[he] had once been the highest-paid player in Dutch football".
CB Fry Posted 27 April, 2020 Posted 27 April, 2020 (edited) David Connolly Bravo. I didn't even know he played in the Netherlands. Edited 27 April, 2020 by CB Fry
Charlie Wayman Posted 28 April, 2020 Posted 28 April, 2020 Well done Colin's BJ. 5 benjii points. Ok, next one. This one is much tougher: He could still lay on the most incisive of passes, and he had a shrewd footballing brain but when the tough got going he could also prognosticate and go missing. Sounds like most of our players over the last 20 years. Otherwise JWP?
benjii Posted 28 April, 2020 Author Posted 28 April, 2020 (edited) The last one was indeed David Connolly. He's back from the dead. 5 benjii points to Shurlock. Edited 28 April, 2020 by benjii
benjii Posted 28 April, 2020 Author Posted 28 April, 2020 The scores on the doors (all scores expressed in benjii points): Let's B Avenue - 10 Norwaysaint - 5 Colin's BJ - 5 davefizzy14 - 5 Shurlock - 5 Avenue_Saint - 1 CB Fry - 1
Noodles34 Posted 28 April, 2020 Posted 28 April, 2020 He looks ugly! He maybe, but a totally sound guy. Never hid in a match, always up for it.
