Think 4 is Cadel Evans.
I thought 5 was Isinbayeva.

Don't think that's McCullough or Merson.

Initially thought Figo for 1. The chin would have gave it away!
Title: Re: Name the sports stars
Post by: Tony Baloney on September 25, 2011, 11:35:15 PM
Any more votes for Figo?

Correct. Yer one Stokke isn't a sports star. Or from Russia.

Flintoff jaw would be too big, but I think the way he is streching his face kinda makes the jaw in the picture look smaller. Probably wrong. Only certain of 2, 3 & 5.

Also everyone referring to Kahn is wrong unless you think it is Oliver Kahn. You'd still be wrong.

It's Khan. You're welcome.

It's not phil Neville, that's a Blackburn jersey I think and it's MGPederson.

1 is livermont and I'd say the bird is Jessica ennis, do they do pole vault in the hepthatilon?
Title: Re: Name the sports stars
Post by: Boycey on September 26, 2011, 04:07:37 PM
Answers are now on the blog...

1. Marc Lievremont
Popular wrong answers included Luis Figo, Andre Villas-Boas and the Klitschko brothers.
2. Phil Mickelson
3. Arsene Wenger
(shot taken mid-moan making it rather easy)
4. Cadel Evans
5. Yelena Isinbayeva (Dual Olympic gold medal Pole Vaulter)
Jessica Ennis was both a popular and good incorrect guess
6. Amir Khan (easy)
7. Rocky Elsom
(recently deposed Australian captain – that was a toughie)
8. Kieran Fallon
9. Gustavo Kuertan
(Pat Butcher was the pick of the amusing wrong answers)
10. Ben Roethlisberger
(not Troy Kipper of the Baltimore Titw**ks as was suggested)
11. Phil Neville
12. Jonathon Trott
(I did pick that picture because it looked a lot like Michael Vaughan)
