Hi diddly-ho quizzlings! Ready to tear your hair out with another quiz? Excellent.
Let's go Old SK3ool shall we and have a retro footy quiz?! Retro in the sense that it's in the old format of quizzes (clues, link, bonus points) that I used to favour before I got all carried away with Monopoly and murder.
Each week for the next 4 weeks (although there will be a one week break when I go to Narrch) I will give you a clue to someone associated with football. They may have played, they may have managed, or they may only have presented, but they will in some way be associated with the beautiful game!
You know the rules, 5 points on Monday, 4 on Tuesday.... blah, blah, blah.
Here's the twist. There is a link between the 4 answers and this should lead you to both a former County Manager AND a former football ground. I want BOTH answers before you'll be getting any bonus points out of me. The first person to provide both correct answers gets 10 points, then 9, and so on. As ever, I'm not revealing how many bonus points you get until the end of the quiz.
All answers to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk or via PM please.
Let's get going then....

Time's up chaps!
Week 1's player was/is Tony Hibbert.
I was starting to panic that we were facing our lowest quiz turnout for ages, as by Wednesday there was just 5 entrants, but thankfully 3 more have tagged on since Wednesday.
Amazingly, one Heavener guessed it was Tony Hibbert (and I'm assured it was a complete guess rather than some underhand hacking into my work's pc) from just Monday's clue - congrats to Archie who takes an early lead with 5 points:
1. Archie 5 2= Bradninch 3 BBLW 3 Hatter in Macc 3 Shrops 3 6= Calliope 2 Gazza 2 Market Harborough 2
Still all to play for, and I'll see you on Monday for Week 2!
Sandy

Unbelievable Archie, very well done.
I'm still working through the 536 managers County have had since the War to find a link with a football ground !!
Cheers, Sandy.

Join the club, Lennie!
Seriously good start, Archie - and thanks, as ever, to Sandy for tying our brains in knots!
