Morning all
Right, as explained last week, I had devised this one-week long special quiz as a tie-break decider between our two runners-up. I then realised that I had added up the scores wrong the first time, and there was no tie-break. Oops.
Nevertheless, let's have a quick race back to Sandbach, shall we? The Cheadle Enders have still won the quiz, but this one off can be for a bit of fun.
You're still in the same teams, and your score will count towards your team's total at the end of the week.
Simple quiz really. Each day, I'll post a picture of a footballer and all you have to do is tell me who that is for a point. There are therefore 5 points up for grabs over the course of the week.
As ever, there is a link, and the first person to get the link scores 10 for their team, then 9 and so on.
Couldn't be easier. See you back in Sandbach!

I haven't forgotten about the quiz but it's a bit manic at Sandbach Towers at the moment, so I'll try to get the results up later today!

Apologies. We're having a massive clear out at home, and at some point since Friday, someone (I'm legally obliged to say 'someone', as Mrs Sandy - despite guilty - claims it wasn't her), has thrown my score sheet out.
It's going to take me a bit to work back through PMs and texts to add it all up again, so bear with me.

Right then.
The players, in order, were Chris O'Grady, Charlie Adam, Leonardo Ulloa, Sergio Aguero and Imre Varadi.
As for the link, I did explain at the outset that this was originally intended to be a tie-break extension of the main quiz, so it makes sense that the link also be related. If you remember the postcodes of all the grounds we travelled to, they were CO, CA, LU, SA and IV. Got it now?! That's right, the initials of the players are the postcodes of the grounds we went to (although I also accepted 'it's f***ing Luis Cavaco again, isn't it you evil bastard?' as a correct answer!).
There was only one team where all three members successfully got the link, and it goes without saying that they are our winners of 'The Race Back to Sandbach'. That team was....

Congrats to Lennie, Market Harborough and Gazza, who continued their fine form at the end of the main quiz to storm to victory in the spin-off. Thanks to everyone for playing, hope you enjoyed it, and the 'same-link' twist didn't seem like me being lazy or a cop-out - I promise it wasn't intended to be!
There's no quiz this week, partly because I'm not feeling great, but mostly because I'm also off work tomorrow and all my quizzes are in the office!
Normal service will resume a week tomorrow - but in the meantime, keep an eye out for another European football competition to keep you entertained!
Sandy

Brilliant !! Well played Pop Siders.
Does the combined scores make us the overall winners then ? (straw clutching at it's maximum).
Very clever twist Sandy, and nicely done.
Have a good week off, well deserved.

Happy with second place, and with a bit of restored pride for the Main Standers, there.
Congrats to the Pop Siders - and thanks, as ever, to Sandy. Enjoy your week off, matey - you've earned it!
