Football

Guess the footballer

Can you name the player from his career before his name appears? In Football Legends, five clues describe one player — nationality, position, the club that made him, the trophies he lifted — and you have to type his name before your opponent does. It's a fast, competitive take on the "who am I?" game every football fan knows.
