As I told you the other evening, one day, I swear just one day :(.

Yes you are perfectly correct but they do have something else specific in common ;D.

It's good KKOB but it's not correct ;D
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Eric on November 23, 2012, 21:11:05 PM: They all played for a foreign club at some point in their career
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Highlander on November 23, 2012, 21:24:01 PM: OMG it's a conspiracy - are you in cahoots with scunner Eric. :)

That is also perfectly correct but nit what I had in mind.

Stan Mortensen could also be on the list.
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Scunner on November 23, 2012, 21:30:06 PM: They all played for their local club
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Highlander on November 23, 2012, 21:45:46 PM: I am genuinely sorry that is probably also correct but..

Gianfranco Zola also has the same thing in common.

Post by: cheers on November 23, 2012, 21:50:10 PM: Only a guess but could they be part of the greatest England team on paper???

Post by: KKOB on November 23, 2012, 22:03:35 PM: Did they all have mums ?
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Highlander on November 23, 2012, 22:11:55 PM: Yeah, Yeah - ok - it's got specifically with their footballing careers.
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Highlander on November 23, 2012, 22:28:51 PM: Even more specifically what their careers lacked.
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: cheers on November 23, 2012, 22:45:55 PM: H you can't throw a curve ball in half way through!!! Where does Zola come into the original question??? Certainly isn't they have bad personal management behind them!!! Or is that the answer? They all have the same management company???
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Scunner on November 23, 2012, 22:53:49 PM: I think the answer is that they have never won the English league/premiership. If that is the answer, it is incorrect.

:)

Post by: KKOB on November 24, 2012, 06:30:37 AM: Did a bloke calling himself Highlander promise each of them he'd make them the subject of a quiz on a forum connected to life in Turkey ?
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: stoop on November 24, 2012, 07:32:57 AM: They all played for sh#t teams!
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: scorcher on November 24, 2012, 10:23:06 AM: All have / had race horses perhaps ?
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Highlander on November 24, 2012, 10:28:27 AM: Sorry Scorcher that's not it.

Post by: Highlander on November 24, 2012, 14:02:47 PM: Firstly, my apologies I missed your post first time.

(http://s10.postimage.org/65tbn4git/man_with_head_in_hands_small.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/65tbn4git/)

I am afraid that was my answer which I thought to be correct.

Please advise :-[

Post by: Highlander on November 24, 2012, 14:18:44 PM: Oh dear I can but apologise to you and everyone else.

The list I took the question from pre-dated his win with Man United.
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Scunner on November 24, 2012, 14:27:17 PM: No need to apologise, I for one look forward to your challenging questions.

The challenge being to find where you cocked it up this time ;)
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: desmartinson on November 24, 2012, 15:36:35 PM: Did they all get sent off once in their career playing for England.
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Highlander on November 24, 2012, 15:44:15 PM: Not sure desmartinson but feel free to continue guessing ;)
Title: Re: As common as muck
Post by: Scunner on November 24, 2012, 16:46:51 PM: That Zola sending off was a disgrace, worst decision I've ever seen against an England player!
