That's right, Week 4's 'celeb' was Tim Lovejoy.
Just the one big-hitter this week and that was.... Archie again! Closely followed by Shrops and Sir Roger who scored 4 each. Here's how the table looks before we get into the business of bonus points:
1. Archie 17 2. Shropshire 14 3. Hatter in Macc 12 4= BBLW 10 Calliope 10 Gazza 10 7. Sir Roger 9 8= Bradninch 8 Market Harborough 8 10. Down Under 6 11. Epworth 5 12. County Benno 3
Will the bonus points make any difference?

Ok then... at least one of our members is going to kick himself here, but it's time for the link...
Tony (Dr) HIBBERT Frank (Principal) SKINNER Damien (Duff Man) DUFF Tim (Reverend) LOVEJOY
are all linked by The Simpsons!
Not everyone got the link (in fact, just over half of you did) but those that did, worked out the former County Manager I was looking for was Paul SIMPSON and the former ground was SPRINGFIELD PARK (Wigan).
Right then, let's add in those bonus points - can anyone amass enough extra to catch Archie and nick the title?.....
No.
Archie was the first to get the link for the maximum 10 points, followed by Shrops and then Market Harborough. So here's how the final table looks once we add in the bonus points:
1. Archie 27 2. Shropshire 23 3= Hatter in Macc 16 Market Harborough 16 Sir Roger 16 6. BBLW 15 7. Bradninch 14 8= Calliope 10 Gazza 10 10. Down Under 6 11. Epworth 5 12. County Benno 3
Congrats to Archie and well done to Shrops for staying so close to him after he got the link very early and only dropped a few points over the entire quiz.
Thanks to everyone who took part. New quiz on Monday!
Sandy

Good stuff, Sandy. I sussed the link, but rather too late to get myself into contention - so, happy to enjoy a share of the Bronze Medal.
Well done, Archie and Shrops. Looking forward to a new teaser on Monday!

Ah, well, I rarely know what day it is with these bloody night shifts these days, so there's no way I was going to get that!
Great quiz, sandy. Decent effort that by archie of the Yard! Well played, all.

Thanks all and thanks to Sandy for another devious riddle. I don't watch The Simpsons so it was quite a shock when that early wild guess was correct.

Well, it's not like I didn't give you all enough clues to the link - read the opening of the quiz again...
"Hi diddly-ho quizzlings! Ready to tear your hair out with another quiz? Excellent."
That'll be references to Ned Flanders, Homer and Mr Burns just in the first line!
Incidentally, this was originally a 5 week quiz, but I decided in hindsight that only Downy might get Jacob Burns (played for Perth Glory until her retired at the end of last season I believe), so I decided to ditch him!

I thought you might have gone with Kenny Burns.
That 'clue' was and is about eight miles above my head.
