Fancy a guess the player game?

Post by Aces »

Just for a laugh, you can use whatever info you like, nicknames, nationality, a reference to a magic moment, etc, etc.

Here's an easy starter, we are talking surnames and once it's guessed right, the person who guesses correctly, sets a new name.

Seven letters, the clue is his nickname, Hot Shot *******

Known as "The carthorse" but sniffer would have been lost without him.

Well sniffer Clarke relied a lot on Mick Jones and Eddie Gray, but I don't recall either of them having this nickname. It would have been more appropriate for big Jack, but I think his nickname was, the Giraffe.

I take it back about big Jack, he was a brilliant defender, I was just thinking, who could be nicknamed the Carthorse in those days, they were all fantastic players and Carthorse is a derogatory name for a player, but ..... If one was nicknamed this, I'm willing to stand corrected.

Mick Jones is the answer, it took some finding, why he was tagged with this I don't know, I think it was on a joke site about the great Leeds team, but he was no Carthorse, he zipped past that Arsenal defender in the FA cup final and cut back an amazing cross for sniffer Clarke to score the winner.

A cross between a bay watch characters part of his real name and a colour. Still fairly easy.
