Thome and Mancienne.

 

Well done boys.

 

dkw, no, Ferreira has played centre-back (very poorly) but never alongside Terry.

That's 17. Only 4 more to go.

Of the four, one is gettable, another is not too difficult, another is almost impossible to remember, and the last one is impossible, full stop.

Bruma?

^ Well done mate. That was the "not too difficult" one.

I hope you're all enjoying your Friday afternoon quiz.

That leaves one pretty easy one, one almost impossible, and one impossible.

Got 16 right, I think they've all been named other than Jes Hogh. I won't spoil the other missing ones, although I will say that one of them is indeed impossible!

 

Forgot Dubes though, kicking myself for that! Also forgot Mancienne and Bruma which I am a little less annoyed about.

 

The ones I got wrong were Ferreira, Bosingwa, Melchiot, Hutchinson and Christensen.

We will need hints then probably.

 

God Hogh, forgot all about him. Has Ben Hame been mentioned yet?

Has Ben Hame been mentioned yet?

 

Well done, and well done Ploks for getting Jes Hogh.

 

That only leaves one folks ..

The impossible one !

Here's the clue ..

 

He played one match, in Hapoel Tel Aviv aged 17, when half the team refused to travel because of a security threat. Sentenced to 20 months imprisonment in 2008 for supplying and possessing Class A drugs.

Was it YOU DB?

He needs a name folks ..

 

 

Was it YOU DB?

 

Hahahahaha.

 

If you think I'd fly when there's a security threat you don't know me very well.

Who wants his first name ?

He's the only player (as far as I am aware) from Uganda to have ever played for Chelsea, or for that matter for a Premier League club (albeit never in the league).

He really deserves his own appreciation thread.

Yep that's the one I struggled with too. Don't even remember him at the club apart from being on Champ Manager (might've been FM by then). 

His first name was Joel, in case that helps any of you.

It won't.

I don't even remember him from manager games to be honest, the name vaguely rings a bell, but not even in a Michael Woods/Jimmy Smith/Rob Wolleaston way where I think "Oh he used to be a Chelsea youngster but I don't remember anything about him beyond his name".

 

From this day forward I will forever get 1 more point on Sporcle quizzes about Chelsea players!

Turns out I was wrong about Ugandan footballers in the Premier League by the way.

 

Apparently Savio Nsereko (born in Kampala but played for Germany's under-20s), made 10 league appearances for West Ham and also wore the #10 shirt. Interestingly it was Zola who signed him, paying out £9m to buy him from Brescia.

 

Nsereko was arrested in Thailand in 2012 for faking a kidnapping in order to extort his family out of €3000. He is now playing in the Bulgarian top flight. Pretty good article about him here.

He's West Ham.

Didn't know that so was JT a West Ham fan as a kid? I always just assumed he was a Chelsea fan born into a family of them lol

JT really should do an auto biography when he retires.
