    I have to move this up to 1.30 folks just so I don't get pulled away in the middle of it!

    Soccer


    10-Soccer.jpg

    Ronaldo
    Messi
    Weah
    Cantona
    Schumacher
    Keane
    Kanchelskis
    Bonner

    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!

    Motorsport


    11-Motorsport.jpg

    Alonso
    Schumacher
    Rossi
    McRae
    Marquez
    Hamilton
    Breen
    Button

    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.

    I'm guessing when you had Maier down originally that's who you thought he was?

    Was a great pick by Zaph in fairness

    I was super impressed when you picked him as he was one of the more obscure ones along with Craig Breen

    I'm not surprised he was left unidentified at the end

    Snooker


    14-Snooker.jpg

    Hendry
    Taylor
    Wattana
    Trump
    Stevens
    O'Sullivan
    Higgins
    Doherty

    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!

    Another great round for Zaph with the lowest scoring answer picked!Gap is still only 3 though so still all to play for

    At the other end of the table geotrig's incorrect guess of Wattana pushes him further ahead (behind) in the race for the wooden spoon

    Serena Williams
    Sharapova

    Pierce
    Federer
    Ivanisevic

    Nadal

    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 guessed

    It did indeed. Couldn't believe he was only selected by one person.

    I love wondering how everyone's mind works when they go to pick something like this.

    I'm surprised 5 out of 28 people knew what Mary Pierce looks like

    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. :D

    Taylor

    Wright

    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 myself
