Without any prevaricating around the bush lets get straight to the answers

1. Who was Roman Abramovich's first signing for Chelsea (and no it wasn’t Shevchenko Bluenut!) – I mean the first player we signed with his cash.

Glen Johnson (maybe soon to be seen as a scouser - well he does have robbing history)

2. My football career began with Chelsea as an apprentice. I played for them for 10 years between the mid 80s and mid 90s making just over 170 appearances in total. I moved to a club in the North of England mid season (1995/96). It was a bit bloody grim up there so I moved back to the South West of the country in 1998 before moving into non league football at the age of 32. Who am I?

Gareth Hall

Moi topped the table with 16 out of 20 so a round of applause for her.

The overall standings are now (as always the table does not include anyone who has not submitted answers for the past three quizzes)

(note that Geezer, Mike O, Gullit4 have not submitted answers for two weeks now so will drop off next week if they don't submit answers to quiz 12.

Sorry mate only just noticed this post. He signed for us in 1913.

[geezer]

Sorry mate only just noticed this post. He signed for us in 1913.

But he's still considered too young to play for Chelsea so he'll sit on the bench.
