Ally Maxwell

 

[MrBearightside]

Today is probably the toughest one I have done.

In full honesty I would probably have gotten 0 out of 3 (possibly the last one.... but probably not)


As always let me know your thoughts if this was too easy or too tough

 

[WinkieWATP]

1. Charlie Miller
3. Ally Maxwell?

 

[The Goalie]

2/3

Got 1 and 3 easily enough.

had no clue with 2.

 

[immortal7]

just #3 for me today

 

[Greggy75]

just #3 for me today

Just 3 for me. Number 3 not 3 answers

Sorry mate. Didn't mean to quote you

 

[Topps]

2/3

Got 1 and 3 easily enough.

had no clue with 2.

Same, i actually didnt know Miller played for leicester or watford but the year and mention of ferguson taking his place led me to thinking it was Miller. 3 was easy but would never have got the 2nd one.

I'll be surprised if anyone gets the 2nd one.

He played over 100 times though... and I feel there are enough clues in the snippets to guess him.... but I certainly wouldn't have gotten him

 

[chrisyboi]

2/3 for me as well. Number two pre-dates me and that’s my excuse!

 

[Fudgie1973]

2/3. Couldn't think of the first one

 

[Ozbluenose]

Got 2n 3 only.

 

[dookieno8]

2/3 *sigh*

 

[Main Stand]

2/3 , got 1 and 3 , could have been guessing number 2 for a day and not got it

 

[Bluedell]

Got 1/3. Got number 3.

Number 1 is a cracker. Didn't get it but it's a really good one.

Number 2 was just too early for me, but learned something about him.

 

[muz73]

Only 1 for me, sigh.

Went Colin 'Big Beastie' MacAdam.

No idea re Charlie M. (hangs head in shame)

Thanx again.

WATP

 

[TBM]

1/3.

Guessed Derek McInnes for the 1st and hadn't a clue on the 2nd.

 

[Rubyhardie]

I look forward to this every day although my answers are usually poor. 2/3 today. Kicking myself now with Charlie Miller
Keep them coming please

 

[strathavenbear]

Third one only for me.

Ever had 3 out of 3?

 

[MrBearightside]

Got 1/3. Got number 3.

Number 1 is a cracker. Didn't get it but it's a really good one.

Number 2 was just too early for me, but learned something about him.

Yeah I think the 1st one has enough in it to be challenging but gettable

 

[Trevor Reznick]

Dave MacKinnon my mate referred to him as the Ranger with one kidney and two hearts. Always gave his all for the jersey

 

[Rubyhardie]

Ever had 3 out of 3?

Not yet
I’ve had a few 0/3 tbh

 

[MrBearightside]

Dave MacKinnon my mate referred to him as the Ranger with one kidney and two hearts. Always gave his all for the jersey

Thats a brilliant quote

 

[jdm1873]

Only 1 out of 3 for me. Got the third one correct.

 

[Jaws]

2 out of 3, Missed Charlie Miller so a bit annoyed with myself.

 

[Robert Prytz]

Got 1 and 3.

 

[gi joe]

2/3 went for Colin McAdam for 2.

 

[Beanyrfc79]

2/3 couldn't even have a guess at the 2nd one

 

[Deleted member 125]

2/3 I have no memory of Charlie Miller going on loan to The Foxes.

 

[Kris1872]

Got 1 and 3.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

 

[MrBearightside]

2/3 I have no memory of Charlie Miller going on loan to The Foxes.

I wonder if Foxes fans remember him

Got 1 & 3. Would never have got number 2!

 

[MrBearightside]

2/3

What one did you not get?

 

[punksnotdead]

3/3 although the 2nd one took a bit of working out.

 

[helicopter-sunday]

I got zero today.

 

[Klos 1]

Got 2 & 3 correct got Charlie Miller wrong,

 

[Fondablondes]

3/3 for the third time Took a bit of time to get Ally Maxwell.
Enjoyable threads these.

 

[aldo78]

What one did you not get?

Dave Mckinnon, would never have got that one without a bit of googling, Charlie Miller was a good one took me a bit of time.

 

[Bumplittledipper]

2/3, 2nd one is a bastard. Good player though.

 

[Fondablondes]

2/3, 2nd one is a bastard. Good player though.

I got that one straight away because I remember reading about his health issues and the Plastic Whistle connection. Almost folded on the Maxwell one until I remembered that cup final.

 

[Arminius]

just #3 for me today

Ditto

 

[dh1963]

Ally Maxwell

Got all three but that last one was uncalled for.
Like remembering who stole your sweeties at school.

 

[tazzabear]

No, but he’s up there.
Was it his first game not provided a major clanger too?

 

[tazzabear]

What one did you not get?

I think number two might be an age/era one.
The illness gave me the answer.

 

[Ced's Atomic Dustbin]

McInnes, Colin MacAdam and Ally Maxwell.

1/3

 

[ScootDL]

These are excellent OP
