15 (I'm discounting Gareth Southgate out of the kindness of my heart)
or 1994 tho
sneaky clue
Just think 98's most likely.
13
although as I'm not sure I won't deduct a question.
12
11
10

play in the Premier League?
and played in 94.
8
7
A European striker (not French or English) who retired before 2003 and played in a world cup. And is now a television pundit but wasn't a well-known manager.
No question mark.
but someone mean COULD have said yes.
at all although I might be wrong. Nothing on his wikipedia page suggests he was.
until I realised Mark Bright was
a) black b) English c) hasn't played in a world cup and d) was never an international.
Apart from that I think it would have been a good guess...
thats why I asked the black question. thinking too pundit-centric
tho im sure no-one needs to be told
Because I really haven't the foggiest. I'd imagine yes at some stage in his life, not necessarily in a game.
Now we know it's not someone who scored a famous overhead kick and it didn't even cost us a question.
6
who fits the bill i can think of Hasselbaink and he's not even retired now.
Only an Italian from 94 or a German from 90 really.
in theory
ban question
6 to go still.
5
a major tournament in england or europe (including league cup)
and played for one of the big four.
ht27 - is it fair for me to ask you to ignore guesses which go against what we've already established?
PS not getting at you personally theDailyBumbler.
and he asked if it was Ted Fenton (which, whilst lolworthy, wasn't a serious response). I think it's fair to get at him personally.
think of european pundits from 2008 Euros.
I didn't watch all the games
as you have 5 questions remaining.
He isn't a pundit on British TV
I feel deceived. Ravenelli?
3
that used to be part of the USSR?
4
can we ignore this one?
2
really...
isn't just a free for all guessing game?
but we lost really.

0
(not really).
used up with guesses.
Whoever it is, it must have been obvious.
no wait, was he from scandanavia?
a) Are the English club he's most associated still in the Premier League as of 2008/2009?
b) Is the Premier league the league he's most associated with?
I'm just saying it was silly of me not ot ask them.
and
b) probably, yes. Either England or Germany.
well it cant be Klinsmann cos he played for Tottenham.
the leagues he's most associated with would be in England or Germany. He's not German.
Austria.
that might be slightly misleading. Definitely the English league.
Karl-Heinz Riedle?
but no.
His English clubs were Swindon, Middlesbrough, Sheffield United and Barnsley.

So
A European striker (not French or English) who retired before 2003 and played in a world cup. And is now a television pundit but wasn't a well-known manager.
And he's white
don't say yes to this
It was a statement
No question mark.
true
but someone mean COULD have said yes.
I would kicked up a shitstorm
*have
I don't think he's been a manager
at all although I might be wrong. Nothing on his wikipedia page suggests he was.
I genuinely thought I had it
until I realised Mark Bright was
a) black
b) English
c) hasn't played in a world cup and
d) was never an international.
Apart from that I think it would have been a good guess...
^clearly this isn't a question.
i was thinking that too
thats why I asked the black question.
thinking too pundit-centric
^ neither is this a question
tho im sure no-one needs to be told
we also know he has never played for any club in London or Liverpool or Man U
Did he ever score an overhead kick?
Do you really want me to answer this one?
Because I really haven't the foggiest. I'd imagine yes at some stage in his life, not necessarily in a game.
Brilliant
Now we know it's not someone who scored a famous overhead kick and it didn't even cost us a question.
:D
Is he British/Irish?
No
6
The only foreign pundit
who fits the bill i can think of Hasselbaink and he's not even retired now.
did he ever play in a world cup final?
Who could that be?
Only an Italian from 94 or a German from 90 really.
or 2002
in theory
yeah but still too specific

and played for one of the big four.
ht27 - is it fair for me to ask you to ignore guesses which go against what we've already established?
PS not getting at you personally theDailyBumbler.
Also...just realised that we'd established he wasn't french.
It's the second time he asked
and he asked if it was Ted Fenton (which, whilst lolworthy, wasn't a serious response). I think it's fair to get at him personally.
Ok
think of european pundits from 2008 Euros.
I didn't watch all the games
One more clue
as you have 5 questions remaining.
He isn't a pundit on British TV
Fabrizio Ravenelli?
I hate you!

D:
I feel deceived. Ravenelli?
No
3

used up with guesses.
Yes,
Ridiculous
Whoever it is, it must have been obvious.
i think its time to tell us
no wait, was he from scandanavia?
Yes
John Aldridge?
Never mind
Incidentally - questions I regret not asking in retrospect:
a) Are the English club he's most associated still in the Premier League as of 2008/2009?
b) Is the Premier league the league he's most associated with?
I don't expect these answered by the way.
I'm just saying it was silly of me not ot ask them.
i expect them to be answered
a) yes
and
b) probably, yes. Either England or Germany.
so he's german?
well it cant be Klinsmann cos he played for Tottenham.
And he managed Germany
No
the leagues he's most associated with would be in England or Germany. He's not German.
Was his 20-goal season in England?
No
Austria.
oh dear
Actually,
that might be slightly misleading. Definitely the English league.
Can't be Klinsmann
