Tim Breaker doesn't have a wikipedia page. we need a petition.

Is that cos you're spelling it Breaker rather than Breacker?

51 and 52 both correct. Kev Poole's the oldest player in the Conference, y'know. 54 is a bit wilfully obscure - clue: you might well have heard the name, but it's entirely possible you'll have no idea of anything about him beyond that.

It was pretty easy that one, but no easier than the still unguessed no.16!

16 = Ze Elias? Pretty useful on champ man back in the day.

You just made me google to see if he was dead.

category: living people might have given it away...

Not like Wikipedia to make mistakes.

category: MP3 bloggers

58's the first I've succumbed to double-checking on Wiki. I got it right, but it'd kind of be cheating.

So unless I'm mistaken, the remainder to get:

48, 53, 54, 55, 58

58 isn't Chris Woods is it?

Couple of easy ones to bring us up to 60:

nope, not Chris Woods

I can't remember if it was Citeh or Boro that attempted to get Burridge in on a one-off deal to play in the FA Cup, but couldn't because he was cup-tied after playing for Blyth in an earlier round... (this was in the late 90s)

60 is Laurent Robert

Yup.

48. Uwe Seeler.

this is a great game, btw, kudos to Roberto Spiralli.

59. Joey Beauchamp

Oh yes he is. I think the juxtaposition of People from Oxford-Oxford United players-West Ham players-Swindon players is a particularly neat one in this case.

53 is Gavin Ward. And with that, I bid you all good night.

Oh, here's a crap one before I go...

53 is indeed Mr Ward.

This is rather a lot of fun, aye. As close as I've ever come to finding a use for my wasted years in the lower leagues of Championship Manager...

yes 16 was indeed ze elias. amazed that one took so long!

just for the record, 48 was indeed Uwe Seeler. who knew he had a stint at Cork City?

also lol @ Tim Brea(c)ker

I'm fairly certain I'm not getting either 61 or 62, so:

Isiah Rankin?

62 is more famous for a role in football outside of managing and playing, btw

Yup (Isaiah, but let's not go splitting hairs here).

xp - that factlet has me thinking either Gordon Taylor or Graham Kelly...

So I'll go for Gordon Taylor.

Nope

62. John Barnwell (guess, based on his age, memory of 1980 League Cup Final, verified by Wiki)

Yep, it's LMA don dada John Barnwell

Still awaiting unveiling:

54, 55, 58, 61 (I am half-tempted to reveal 54 and 55 since I doubt people will guess them).

I was gonna say Trevor Steven for 58, but it doesn't mention Notts County.

Second interesting fact turfed up while researching for this thread - Hope Powell is the sister of the drummer out of The Libertines. Apparently.

I was gonna say Trevor Steven for 58, but it doesn't mention Notts County.

No, this guy was a solid part of Gordon Lee's Operation Mediocrity. No fancy-dan wingplay. Giveaway fact: he killed Dixie Dean.

Ah, thar's the chap! My thinking on that was basically "not Freddy Adu".

um, that's. I'm not a pirate.

Sicne most of my experience w/ football is from Football Manager, starting around 2006 (i can't help it-- canada has no coverage of the sport!), I know precious few players. particularly old ones. so i guess i'll just name more interesting wonderkid types.

...
1988 births | Living people | Dutch footballers | PSV Eindhoven players | FC Twente players | Moroccan-Dutch people | Eredivisie players | People from Utrecht (city)

No idea on that, but since 54 and 55 haven't attracted so much as a guess yet, think I'll be safe with the reveal:

54 - Forbes Phillipson-Masters (from what I can gather, he was never much cop for us, seemed to go out on loan a lot, but what a name!)
55 - John Dreyer (I dunno, dude seemed to crop up one hell of a lot in the mid-to-late 90s Champ Man games)

lol wunderkids. who was that teenage midfielder that Everton had who fucked his career on charlie?

Billy Kenny. Hard to think of a more Scouse name. Man of the Match in his first derby at 19, hugely talented but hard enough to put the wind up Vinny Jones. Hit the booze and the drugs in a big way - sold to Oldham, never played professionally beyond the age of 22.

Ali Daei correct. All-time number-of-international-goals world record holder.

Mauricio Pinilla. I had completely forgotten he'd played for Hearts until some blokes mentioned it in the pub last night.

thats a lot of categories for a 22 year old

John Guidetti played for both man city and stoke and is Swedish

Unusual career!

Also plays for Celtic and is one of the few current players I don't go "aw ffs" at when I see his name on a teamsheet.

he has an interesting background and a lot of unfortunate health problems so i wish him well
given that he was scoring for fun in the eredivisie a few years ago, he shouldn't have much trouble in scotland if he stays fit
