Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

New Year's Footie Trivia

Here's another brain teaser from BBC Five Live to ring in the New Year:

"There are 10 Michaels who have each made more than 100 appearances in the Premiership. Name them:"

(And no - "Peter Sch-MICHAEL" is not one of them!)

Best of luck for this one and for 2014!

Well in, MUR - all three Michaels are correct. How about the other seven you lot?

Thanks mate. I have a few more:

Michael Bridges , Bollocks , and does Michel Worm count as a Michael?

I forgot about Michael Thomas of Liverpool, who played with Arsenal before the Premier League Era and scored that famous goal.

You've got one more there, mate. Ballack counts. Bridges was obviously crocked too much and never made 100 appearances. Worm has got to be getting close but isn't there yet. And no to Thomas, who must have made most of his appearances pre-Prem.

Still six to go - let's be 'aving the rest of ya!

I just thought of Michael Gray. Does that make ten?

Well done, mate. Here's your list:

4. Carrick - don't know how you forgot him either.
5. Dubes
6. Turner
7. Grey
8. Essien

Mikael doesn't work, so you've still got two left - probably the hardest ones. Good luck!

Ta, Bob. I think I named nine, leaving one because I had named four prior to the five you just listed. I will see if someone else can name the other one.
