Was really surprised how this one played out with George Weah, who I thought was a little obscure coming out on top with 7 votes
Hugely impressed by Zaph picking up Schumacher as an ace. That was one of my most obscure ones. Geotrig also identified him but didn't go with him in the end
He's famous for this which didn't even warrant a free kick back in the 80s!
Very little love for Ronaldo too!0 -

A lot of love here for Jensen Button which again surprised me as certainly not the most famous I would have thought so people were being tactical.
Again super impressed with BuileBeag & Local_Chap picking up Craig Breen who grew up in the same village as me
First unidentified picture in this round which was Marc Marquez - I like a bit of Moto GP but I must admit I wouldn't have recognised him myself despite his success in recent years. Reberetta actually identified him and changed their mind twice
One incorrect entry with crash king Maldonado being selected by Geotrig.0 -

Even spread in this round with Hendry slightly edging clear with 5 votes. First multiple incorrect entry of the competition in this round too with 3 people thinking James Wattana was Marco Fu. I must admit this was a trick entry as Marco Fu is far more famous, relatively speaking, in modern times
No aces this round!0 -

All players identified though and impressively 5 selected Mary Pierce who I would have thought a little obscure!
Arugably the two most famous player in Federer was an ace
Couple of incorrect entries too in this round with Graff and Kvitova both being guessed0 -

Happy enough with this start. My limited facial knowledge seems to be paying off.
For q1 I only recognised Cantona, Ronnie, and Keane. Figured the first two would be popular so went with Robbie and sure enough it was always his childhood dream to be featured in a boards peehs quiz.
Same with Q2, only recognised Hamilton and Schumacher and figured everyone would go with the first.
Q3 was a toss-up between Ronnie and big glasses Taylor.
Seems to be working so far.

Beauty sadly did not win out in this one with Phil Taylor topping the poll with James Wade on 5 votes each
Scorpian Sting's ace pick of O'Connor was super impressive - Whilst I'd recognise his face I'd never have put a name to him myself0 -

A whole lot of love for Paula Radcliffe here with a whopping 7 votes. Wouldn't have predicted that! I actually went and rechecked the picture to make sure her name wasn't on her number!
To my mind the most obscure person from the 80 pictures was Kelly Proper, a Waterford athlete who I knew growing up and who has represented Ireland at numerous international events. To my surprise this was identified by Ariana CoolS Balcony and Local_Chap.
Carl Lewis and Gail Devers aced this round for Strawberry Milkshake and Zaph respectively.0 -

Mullane
Rossiter
Good to see DJ Carey top the poll here with 6 votes. Sadly shared with John Mullane who also got 6 votes. The only time a Waterford hurler has shared a trophy with a Kilkenny one
Bernard Brogan, who I've never laid eyes on before doing this was an ace for Sheridan81
My only obscure selection not to be picked across the competition was in this round which is Keith Rossiter, the ex Wexford hurler who I was in college with! I'd have been stunned if he was picked
Most incorrect answers this round showing that our national sport is not the most popular on boards 0 -

At a guess I'd say 30+ as I hear the cool kids are on Reddit and Twitter
I'm wild guessing here
I'm 30+ so I assume everyone is the same as me
