benjii

We need to see it. No see-ey, no pointsee.

Yep, 5 benjii points.

Ok, give the public what they want: "By the time his League career dwindled to a halt, in loan spells dogged by injuries, he had long become the seventh Saint, post-war, to pass 400 games for the club."

Two hundred.

Right, here's the leaderboard after day 2. Spedding-gate has provided a clear leader but there's still all to play for. Tamesaint - 20 Let's B Avenue - 10 Norwaysaint - 8 Colin's BJ - 5 davefizzy14 - 5 Shurlock - 5 The Cat - 5 Saint Mikey - 3 Avenue_Saint - 1 CB Fry - 1 stknowle - 1

Some skate on 5Live claiming they should have penalty shootouts to replace the playoffs.

Jurassic Park! I knew someone would get it. That's twenty benjii points. Top work. Plus a bonus benjii point for having a Duncan Spedding signed ball. You have also inspired a new type of round, which will be released later today.

Good guess. One benjii point. I met him in The Rhino club once and he was dead chuffed to be recognised.

No but good guesses. This guy was a left sided player. Made a handful of appearances.

Young player who didn’t make the grade is the right approach.....

If that were true then of itself it would be evidence of a troubled mind. The idea that by riffing random thoughts publicly he might come up with a brilliant, yet conceptually very simple, idea that has eluded all the world’s best subject matter experts....

Weren’t he and Graham Potter our marquee signings one summer?!

Fair question. Lets see if anyone gets it. If not, I’ll drop some clues.

Alright, this one has got to be twenty points. At least. "He now became, in turn, the general manager of a Health-and-Fitness club in Northampton and then a co-director of Serious about Fitness, a personal-training business in nearby Wootton."

Couldn't find Mark Paul's page!?!!?

Bingo! Or, Le Bingo, as they say in France. 5 benjii points to The Cat.

Dear Mr. Fella, Please be informed that John Burridge's profile states that Al Ain is in Dubai. Al Ain is a city in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and is not, I am afraid to say, in Dubai. A green town, it sits at the foothills of the Hajar mountains, which straddle the eastern UAE border with Oman. Sincerely, benjii

Next! No cheating, remember. "On the wrong side of 30, he moved from Paris to Girondins de Bordeaux, then Olympique Marseille, before trying his luck in England."

It is John Burridge. As it was Norway's second stab and Saint Mikey got it at roughly the same time, I am awarding three benjii points each. Well done.

There's all to play for as we enter (fnar) day 2. Question numero, one: It comes to something when your ghost-writer introduces your autobiography by declaring you to be a “charismatic lunatic”.

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

The last one was indeed David Connolly. He's back from the dead. 5 benjii points to Shurlock.

Nope.

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".
