Right, then. Presumably everybody who`s interested has had a go.
There are 5 that nobody has worked out / guessed so to drag out the fun (pain?) a bit longer I`ll give you some hints on those 5 so you can have another go at them if you wish. I`ll put the full answers up tomorrow unless otherwise instructed.
6. It`s not Barnet; yer barnet`s yer `air, not yer `ead. (Barnet fair = hair.) Much bigger club than that.
Hint: Think of `heads` as a verb, not a noun.
16. I`m amazed that nobody got this. It`s much simpler than the convoluted thinking you need to go through to get to
Chesterfield as an answer.
Hint: Think of Robin Hood (or Daniel Day-Lewis, if you prefer.)
23. Slightly embarrassed to include this one (no I`m not; I don`t embarrass that easily) but it`s local to me and I first
used it at a quiz down here some years ago. To be fair, I didn`t say that they were all EFL or SFL teams. This one
never has been and almost certainly never will be.
Hint: Larry Grayson`s home town.
26. This one did reach dizzy heights some years ago after a famous run in the FA Cup before returning to obscurity
again. No longer in the EFL.
Hint: The Bulls.
34. Again, I`m surprised nobody got this. There are much more obscure clues that you all seemed to twig easily
enough.
Hint: The Lewis of the first half was a great athlete, but he`d have needed to master the water jump to get off the
second half.
