Weekend Quiz: Bad Boys, Part Deux

By: Laurie | February 28th, 2009

I had so much fun rehashing scandals last week that I thought we’d do it again this week.

Name the bad boy. As I said last week:

These scandals/controversies could be recent or long ago. They could be on-pitch or off-. There may be one or many. They could be legal, moral, ethical — or just really, really embarrassing.

Bonus points to whoever names the scandal(s).

Your turn. Name the player and the scandal. Leave guesses in the comments. Answers tomorrow.



Player 1



Player 2



Player 3



Player 4



Player 5



Player 6



Player 7



Player 8



Player 9


This one kind of belonged in a different quiz, but when I saw the photo I couldn’t resist. Yes, there is a scandal involved, but it may have come a few years later. Who is it?

    Pretty tough this week, only one that jumps to mind is Gallas who is 6, and well take your pick. Smoking, sitting in the centre circle, generally being a bad captain.

    Number 3 definitely looks like Ronaldo (chubby one) when he had that awful hair style.

    Scandal? The first that jumps to mind is certainly of the really, really embarrassing ones.

    if 2 is Fowler, its hard to tell then you have the choice of the penalty line sniffing and the Dockers t-shirts. Gerrard is obviously the current assault thing.

    is 3 Henry? I can’t think of a Scandal to go with him.

    1 could well be Drogba, if it was Cisse I reckon Laurie would go for a crazy hair one. If its Drogba the scandal is not wanting to be African FOTY I guess.

    How is # 1 Drogba? Are my eyes deceiving me? Because the player in the first picture is white.

    1. El Hadji Diouf – where to start. Spitting, match ban for swearing at referee
    3. Fat Ronaldo. Being overweight, and the transvestite thing.
    8 looks like it might be C. Ronaldo? Scandal – getting Rooney sent off then winking to the bench.

    Okay, maybe I made this one too hard. But I only made it hard because it’s too easy! (Meaning I made the photo cuts difficult because I knew you’d be looking for the people.)

    #7 has not been guessed, but when you see who it is, you’ll kick yourself.

    The names for #2 and #5 have been guessed, but not with the right photos.

    #6 and #9 deserve another photo, because they and their scandals are less well-known. I’ll go in after I post this and add another facial portion to see if that jump-starts anybody’s memory.

    And the bonus photo could also go in a “Managers when they were players” Quiz.

    P.S. I forgot my token American/MLS player this week. But as I said last week, it’s not as if our boys can afford to be involved in the really juicy scandals anyway.

    The scandal might be the whole tax evasion thing, but it might also be him sending away Edgar Davids at Euro 96.
