Weekend Quiz: Name the Footballer Who’s Played at…

By: Laurie | June 6th, 2009

We’re going to be shaking up the Weekend Quiz over the next few weeks, making things a little different with a variety of quiz types. If you have any ideas for themes or questions, email me at laurie[at]theoffside[dot]com.

Today’s quiz? Name the player who’s played at… I’ll give you a list of clubs, then I’ll follow it up with a current league, and you’ll give me the player and his current club. So if I say,

Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, currently in La Liga

you will obviously say, “Thierry Henry, FC Barcelona,” (pictured.) Right? Right.

My source for all of these is, of course, the always-reliable Wikipedia, so if there are errors, don’t blame me. Blame the troubled person whose wishful thinking has placed David Beckham at FC Metz. And I am listing loans (but not actually labeling them as loans), and not including youth teams.

Ready? Here we go. Leave guesses in the comments. Answers tomorrow.

  Now that you’ve had time to run through, what do you think? Thumbs up or thumbs down for this kind of quiz?

• Jadczak |  June 6th, 2009 at 3:23 pm

  
  
  

  Thumbs down, too easy, just had to spend 10 minutes on wikipedia/google.

• Laurie |  June 6th, 2009 at 3:28 pm

  
  
  

  Fine, Jadczak, just for that next time you get twenty players from the Yugoslavian third division.

  i think the point of the game was too go by your knowledge of the players without Wikipedia.

  thats how i figured out at least 4 of the players.

  Great idea, Laurie.

  I think it’s great, if you go by your knowledge rather than google/wiki. Otherwise it’s too easy.
