Did it with 3 minutes to spare! Loads of very recent and current players in there, I got stuck in the late 40s and just went through the current squad listing the people who've been here for 3+ seasons and that did the trick.

I got 48, but only because I thought I'd entered a name but it wasn't spelt correctly.

Realised after that Sheringham and Johnsen weren't there.

Stuck on 48 with nine minutes still left. Admitting defeat.

EDIT: Parker and Johnsen. :rolleyes:

Got them all! Parker was the last one for me but I still have 8 minutes remaining.

It helped that I remembered doing a similar quiz a while ago.

Took me half a minute of retyping the name before I realized why Bobby Charlton wouldn't enter. :rolleyes:

Ended up with 49/50, the one I forgot was

David May

Which is a weird one to forget considering he pops up on MUTV all the time during pre-season, and hovers above all on that '99 CL trophy picture. Kind of annoyed at forgetting him now. Oh well.

49/50.

Thought Johnsen was spelled as Jonsen. Proceeded to Tevez, Berg, Cleverley, Veron, Carroll and all wrong. :(

Silvestre & Fletcher

49. I was putting in all sorts of desperate answers to get the last one. People like Ronnie fecking Wallwork even :lol:

I don't know who I missed cos it wants me to do some bollocks with facebook before it will tell me. Whoever had 86 appearances. Probably someone I will kick myself for forgetting now.

I'm ashamed to say the one I got stuck on for about 4 minutes was
Stam

In my head I was convinced the last one could only be Quinton Fortune! I must have entered Fortune 2 dozen times, but computer kept saying no.

Bizarre isn't it. I even had to Wiki him to make sure. Apparently he only made 76 appearance for us in total though. I can't believe that. Also I was pretty shocked to find he's still only 37!

I'm actually disappointed that I got all 50 with 20 seconds to spare. I actually cheated a bit at the end when I searched up our 888 season squad. It turns out that I completely forgot about ***!

Technically, I should have had a 49 as I didn't remember about *** until I saw our 888 squad again.

888: 2001/02
***: David May

There was a bunch of players I tried for the lower numbers:

Fortune, Heinze, Smith, Tevez, Veron, Cleverley, Richardson, van Persie, Jones etc.

You'll be annoyed when you realise who 150 is.
Tell me. Now there isn't any time left, so 47/50 my final result.

Edit: 120 is Evans, can't believe I missed him.
And 150 is Nistelrooy. Actually, I didn't miss him, I just wrote Nistelrooy and thought that it had counted, while instead I should have added the Van part.
