    I've given this a go, but I haven't really got a clue about most of them, while I know parts of others but not the whole thing.

    I’ve answered 8, confident on about 4, not so confident on the 4.

    Cheers for doing this though, Luke. Bored of out my nut at the moment, so much so I’ve recently wiped off the 6ft layer of dust on my PS4 and bought a couple games from the PS Store.

    I have given an answer to every question, with a quite a lot of guesses but some I think are educated guesses and I would like to think that I would be close to getting 50% would that get me a C in this GCSE football trivia exam?
