Is 7 Wrexham?

 

[cowburn86]

Also obviously didn't read the question for 3 - missed out the important word FINAL

 

[The Large One]

Surely number 10 is referring to a player, not a country? In which case I haven't got a clue, although it looks like a great question. I'd say it's probably someone from Nigeria or Cameroon, as I can't think of any other African country that seems to qualify as frequently. What about Kanu? Or Eto'o?

It is a player.

 

[Superphil]

7 is Queens Park*


*Former Albion Roar Shirt of the Week stat ;-)

 

[The Large One]

Is 7 Wrexham?

No.

I would say that, at the quiz, this question caused most gnashing of teeth (with maybe the exception of one coming up later) - not because they thought I was wrong, but because of the number of individuals in various teams who got it right, but were voted down by their team-mates.

Titter.

Found it - it is Jacques Songo'o, the Cameroon Goalkeeper. 1990, 94, 98 and 2002. Roger Milla only appeared in 3.
