    Decided to do a Sports Sheep to keep myself entertained during the isolation so feel free to give it a go!

    I've tried to keep it relatively simple so most can answer even if not a massive sports fan - I've also time limited most of it from 2000 to now to limit the range of answers a little bit - Still plenty of scope for answers though

    For newcomers, the object of sheep is to give the answer you think people will give. The most popular answer wins

    There's no right or wrong answer with sheep

    Google is allowed

    PM your answers to me

    1. Name a soccer player who has won a premier league winners medal
    2. Name a soccer player who has won a champions league winners medal
    3. Name a Formula 1 world champion from 2000 to present day
    4. Name a Moto GP world champion from 2000 to present day
    5. Name a grand slam tennis champion from 2000 to present day
    6. Name an Irish rugby player from 2000 to present day
    7. Name a darts world champion from 2000 to present day
    8. Name a hurling all star from 2000 to present day
    9. Name a gaelic football all star from 2000 to present day
    10. Name a WWE/WWF wrestler from 2000 to present day
    11. Name an NBA player from 2000 to present day
    12. Name an NFL player from 2000 to present day
    13. Name a snooker world champion from 2000 to present day
    14. Name a swimmer with an Olympic gold medal
    15. Name a horse racing jockey

    I'll leave this open till we have a good number of entries but will let people know in advance if we are getting close to closing it up!

    I might jump in at some stage but I'm not sure I'd be able to commit the time to it at the right times.

    After my shítshow it Just One I need to lick my wounds for a while too ;)

    The last time I did that it didn't turn out well for me.

    You were amazing at Just one, it was the clowns giving you the clues that let you down, I had the same issue with them!



    Give Necros one a go, you'll be amazing at what else in your life you can sideline!

    Ah I'll stay put :pac:

    Not a total catastrophe but probably missed out on a better chance of a SHEEP but should still score well enough.

    Done and done, this one seemed easy to make a choice on, no back-tracking, no second-guessing, no humming and hahing. Have I finally become at one with the Forum Games subforum or have I just lost the plot :D

    Just hit twenty entries there now.

    At a quick glance there's one massive sheep in one of the categories.

    Closing this to entries at 8pm this evening with the reveal tomorrow morning at 10am (sorry only time of day that suits me)

    Hadn't looked at it properly yesterday but there's one sport where everyone picked the same answer! Some seriously high scoring sheep in this!

    27 entries so far
