benjii Posted 27 April, 2020 Share 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 Share 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 Share Posted 27 April, 2020 (one reason why it's tough is because "prognosticate" doesn't seem to make sense in that context) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
