The return of...Who Am I?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Last year some time I did a little WAI? competition which was almost fun for a while. Thought I'd have another go. I'll give a clue to a former or current Toon player, you have to guess who it is. First bbser to get it on the first clue gets 3 points. If no-one gets it, you get a second clue and the answer is now worth 2, then a third clue for one point. I'll keep track of cumulative scores.

Note: Only one guess per clue per bbser. I'll try and leave it about half a day between clues so you've got plenty of time to guess. And I'm going to use soccerbase/official shite/outdated Who's Who for my info, so a)blame them if I get stuff wrong and b)don't cheat, it's too easy! OK?

Clue 1: I was born in Peterlee.

I'd have to guess at Steve Harper, but I thought he was Easington and my geography of that sort of are isn't up to knowing if they're near each other

Yup, Steve Harper.

I think you're Dan. It's bit too easy if you leave your email address in yi daft bugga. :-)

Steve Harper is my best guess as well.

I was born in Peterlee too (brought up in Wallsend though), and my birth certificate has Easington, Durham Eastern written on it, so aye, Stevie Harper.

Seeing as how everyone has guessed at Steve Harper I'll go with Kevin Scott Steve Howey.

-- Anonymous, March 19, 2002

Wrong. By the way, there no point guessing the same as someone else since, if they're right and they were first, they get the points. Hence the skill and tension (oh really, dan?) in timing your guess! Next clue...early Weds afty, I hope. Assuming no-one gets it before then. Tell you what, everyone but mac can have another guess, since your Steve Harpers are all technically redundant...

I agreed cos I knew he was right. Therefore desn't matter if I agree or not cos he's already got em.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2002

Nope, I keep rereading Andy's posting and i still don't understand. Unless you were just agreeing with me that there's no point posting something that someone else has already posted because they'll get the points in which case you're right but you're wrong because you're wrong about mac being right. All right?

Ahem. Round 2.
Clue 1: I've been a club manager in England and Scotland.

Round 3.

John Anderson?

-- Anonymous, March 21, 2002

Sh@t guess thinking about it. Anderson would have played a lot more games.

The immortal George Reilly, perchance?

-- Anonymous, March 21, 2002

Nah, Reilly wouldn't have played that many games - cancel that guess!

-- Anonymous, March 21, 2002

I would never have got it from that clue, but I've looked it up and know the answer, good one

Clearly a trick question then. In that case my stab in the dark is Lee Clark?

Clue 2: I once scored two own-goals in the same match.

-- Anonymous, March 22, 2002

That's a real toughie. The only one I can think it might be is Peter Jackson, but I don't recall him scoring 2 OG's in one match.

Is that a guess or what? :@)

Frank Sinclair(or whichever one plays for Leicester)....oh...you mean Toon players....hmmmmmmm

-- Anonymous, March 22, 2002

Well.....not exactly Dan.

I was discussing the question with the Painter we have in and he reckons he was at the game where PJ scored two ogs - the only time he's ever seen a player achieve that feat. However, he couldn't recall who the game was against. He promised to ask his mate Tony the Undertaker tomorrow, who he reckoned was sure to know, and let me know.

Apart from that it was pure deduction! ;o {)

-- Anonymous, March 22, 2002


Ah - Tony the Undertaker. If that's he guy I think it is, he'll know. Dead cert :)

-- Anonymous, March 22, 2002

It was against Scum in '87. Two points. :@)

-- Anonymous, March 22, 2002

Chris Nichol then playing for either Southamton or Villa against the other one scored all 4 goals in a 2-2 draw, circa 1977/78 when I used to shout "Football" around the doors of Whickham on a Saturday night
