Fulham player quiz

I'm bored at work so I thought I'd try to come up with a quiz on your knowledge of our current batch of players. Just off the top of your head - no lookings things up - answer the following questions in under a minute:

1) Which two Fulham players were born in Texas?

2) Who's taller, Bobby Zamora or Clint Dempsey?

3) Name two Fulham players born in London.

4) For which famous LB did Fulham put in a four-million-pound bid in 2000?

5) Which Fulham player started his career with Arsenal?

6) Where did Dickson Etuhu grow up?

 

I've not looked any of these answers up. This is all me, for good or ill.

1. Clint Dempsey and Brede Hangeland
2. Bobby Zamora seems the obvious answer and I'll go for that, although I suspect this may be a trick question
3. Steve Sidwell and Bobby Zamora
4. John Arne Riise (think the price is too high for that to be right, but can't think of anyone else!)
5. Steve Sidwell
6. East Anglia (bit of a guess, but I'm pretty sure he grew up in England despite playing for Nigeria)

 

Good bit of Monday afternoon fun DR

I can't add anything to the Captain's answers except for 6, I'm fairly sure Dickson grew up in South London, possibly Peckham?

 

Struggling. My humble contribution to Captain and Penguin

2. is definitely Dempsey
3. Bobby and Briggs

 

1. Born in Texas? Yes, Clint and Brede were spawned the People's Republic of Texas.
2. Who's taller? Clint's actually taller, though Bobby casts a bigger physical presence over the pitch.
3. Born in London? Bobby and Sidwell were born in London. Didn't know about Briggs.
4. Famous LB previously linked with Fulham? Riise the Elder. Funny that he's finally made team.
5. Who started at Arsenal? Yeah, Steve Sidwell.
6. Where did Etuhu grow up? London. I saw one of those "Life of the footballer" shows and he pointed out the neighborhood and exact apartment he'd lived in. I think he was 4 of 5 when he moved to the UK.

 

Only Fulham could sign a Norwegian born in Texas

 

There's a Lyle Lovett song called 'Long Tall Texan'. I always think of Brede when I hear it.

 

A fountain of knowledge aren't you DR

I thought it was Briggs who was the londoner as well I must admit

 

I ummed and ahhhed before plumping for Sidwell as the second Londoner. After I posted I looked them up on Wikipedia and discovered that both Sidwell and Briggs were born in Wandsworth, so everybody's right on that one!

 

WhatDoesWoyWant? I confess I had to look up a couple of those. I knew Brede was born in Texas and that Etuhu was raised in London. Plus I knew Dempsey is taller than Zamora. Clint's also listed on the website as being heavier than BZ, but I don't believe it.
