Name The Footballer Quiz including World Cup superstars and the ‘Irish Messi’

How good is your elite football knowledge over the last 30 years? Time to put your footballing brains to the test in our weekly quiz, where you have to name the player from their Wikipedia page

Some real international superstars plus a veteran who’s back in the limelight for one of the world’s biggest clubs feature in this week’s quizzer.

So see if you can name the five footballers – just by reading their Wikipedia club biographies.

The only information you’ll be given are their list of clubs, number of appearances and number of goals scored – in essence the information on the right-hand side of their Wikipedia page. But you won’t find out their nationality or position.

To pick up all six points, simply type in the name of the player you think it is. But be careful, any incorrect spellings will result in a fail on that question. Then why not sign up to our newsletters for the best football and news stories.

But we’re feeling generous so we’ll accept either their full name or just their first or last name – whichever you can remember.

And make sure you challenge your friends and family to beat your score so they too can waste 10 minutes of their working day while they’re sat chained to a desk.
