    I'm back with another edition of Heeps :D

    This time it's a Football version!

    source.gif

    Heeps is a version of Sheep, but instead of trying to figure out the most popular answer, you need to wrack your brain and think... what could be the second most popular answer?

    The most popular answer scores ZERO!!!

    Don't worry if you aren't interested in football, Google is permitted so you can play anyways :)

    And without further adieu, the questions:
    1. Name a winner of the English Premier League since its inception
    2. Name a Premier League top goalscorer
    3. Name an English Champions League or European Cup Winner
    4. Name a member of the English Premier League 'Big Six'
    5. Name a club promoted to the English Premier League in the last 5 seasons
    6. Name a club relegated from the English Premier League in the last 5 seasons
    7. Name a League of Ireland club
    8. Name a Republic of Ireland manager past or present
    9. Name a player who captained the Republic of Ireland
    10. Name an Irish (ROI) player who has played in the UEFA Champions League
    11. Name a country that has won the FIFA World Cup
    12. Name a World Cup golden boot winner
    13. Name a club that has won La Liga (Spanish First Division)
    14. Name a club that has won the Scottish Premier League (SPL)
    15. Name a player who has won the Ballon D'Or
    16. Name a club that has won a treble (three trophies in one season) at any stage
    17. Name a player who has been transferred to another club for £80 million or more. (I will be using the sterling cost, not euro)
    18. Name a club who has won the English FA Cup more than once
    19. Name a player who has scored more than 50 goals for his country
    20. Name a player who has scored more than 400 goals in his career


    Send me on an un-numbered list with your answers.

    Planning to run this Sunday night at around 7pm so will take sign ups until about 6.30pm or so.



    Let's get Heepsin - Football Style!!

    Someone who won the golden Boot in a particular season.

    Though you can put me if you like, no wrong answers in Heeps :D

    Wouldn't hold that against anyone. Had started filling out my list during the week. Saw Trigs post and was very confused as to why someone would be embarassed for putting in their answers as Peehs, that's what this game is right? Nope, read the post again Dave.

    Started again yesterday doing it properly as a Sheep and thankfully realised that it's not a Sheep before I sent it off.

    Managed to get it right on the third go. :o
