That's it, fellas, time is up.
Our final player, as most of you realised on Monday, is resident scumbag Gary Neville. No fewer than 7 of you scored full marks this week, which perhaps indicates how many had correctly guessed the link, but we'll get to that shortly.
First up, when we add in all those points, here is the penultimate table:
1. Archie 20 2. Eppers 19 3. BBLW 18 4= Gazz 16 Maccy 16 Market Harborough 16 7= Bradninch 12 Hermann 12 9. Steve61 9 10. Ceefer 4
So, as usual, it all comes down to the bonus points - was Archie first to the link?.....

Yes, yes he was!
In fact, almost all of you got the link, but not all of you spotted the hint at the very start of the quiz. Remember this from Monday Week 1?...
"Yes, over the next five weeks I’ll be giving you clues to footballers who have at some point in their careers featured in the Premier League, yet the link between them could not be more County. I could give you an initial clue to the link, but, well....."
And the initials were key, because when you re-arranged the five players from this quiz, the initials NM, AI, N, JO, and GN spell out JIM GANNON! Well, I did say the link 'could not be more County'!
Archie was, however, first to the link, so he claims not only 10 bonus points, but victory overall, and our congratulations go to him. Next up on the bonus points was Gazz (which propels him into joint bronze - with Eppers), then Lennie (who leapfrogs Eppers into silver).
Here's the final FINAL table:
1. Archie 30 2. BBLW 26 3= Eppers 25 Gazz 25 5. Maccy 23 6. Market Harborough 19 7. Hermann 17 8. Bradninch 16 9. Steve61 9 10. Ceefer 6
Thanks everyone for playing, and you'll all (hopefully) be pleased to know I have been busy this week preparing Quiz 107, so we go again on Monday.
See you all there.
Sandy

Very well played, archie - an absolutely stunning effort, matey! Thanks for another great quiz, Sandy, one which I enjoyed all the more as I managed to do quite well for a change!

Yay!!
I think that's the first time that I've got the link before identifying the first player, which obviously helps just a little.
Thanks to Sandy for all the work in producing these puzzles. Roll on the next one.

All good stuff guys.
Well played Archie great early spot (I think I was asleep in the first week).
I can't believe Sandy has stooped so low as to use 3 Man Ure players in his quiz !!!!
Nicely done, Sandy

Well played, archie. A comfortable win in the end.
Thanks sandy for another enjoyable quiz and, like gazz, made the more so by not doing too badly this time.
