Quiz - How Many Can You Name?

by Saaaaaaaammmmmm » 05 Nov 2016 19:17

http://www.sporcle.com/games/samrfc/rea ... -2006-2016

In the 10 years that followed our record-breaking 106 season, 133 players featured for the Royals in league and cup games from 2006-2016

So within a 20-minute time limit, how many of them can you name?

All you have to do is type the full name or surname in any order and they'll appear on the list, with their nationality and first game already given as hints

Players are ordered by date of debut, or in the case of the same match - starting/substitute/alphabetical surname

Does not include anyone who only made their debut this season (16/17)

Post your score for bragging rights etc etc

A humiliating 92, missing out some really obvious choices. Went about it completely the wrong way, should have been much more structured.

Joint effort between son and myself got 125 out of 133. Of the 8 missing, 3-4 we wouldn't have got if we had to Christmas, 2-3 we could have got with a fair wind and 1 is a current regular player!

Enjoyed that. Respectable 93

Again, missed some obvious ones (Blackman & Robson Kanu) and got some obscure ones. I wonder how many get out Slovenian Left Back?

115

Most I missed have come in the last few seasons. Probably due to the massive turnover of players we have had.

My score is to embarrassing to repeat here, let down by poor spelling and shocking memory, I missed players I saw yesterday! But well done Sam, good quiz.

131/133 8)

I missed two players from the 06/07 season, both English full backs. Really should have got one of them but I didn't realise the other had played for us that season.

Only got a current first team player (England, debut in January 2016) at the last second.

I also encountered a bug where entering the penultimate player's name automatically gave me the final name too. I would probably have forgotten that final player.

I feel sorry for the 11% of players who typed in "Shane Long" and missed an absolute gimme.

Good spot, just fixed it

You're in the Top 3, as apparently two players have got 133/133 :shock:

If you click on Statistics at the end it'll give a break down of what percentage of people get each answer

The most obscure player is exactly who I predicted, even I'd forgotten about him when building the quiz. Only 9% have named him so far

None of the Top 10 players are in our current squad, and of the current squad only three of those were named more than 80% of the time (although one of them appears to be living off his surname given he's only played for us once...)

133 although I did cheat by just typing that number and not actually doing the quiz as the site is blocked for me.
