    You may have seen this quiz on BBC4 with Victoria Coren or in the Radio Times. Here's my football version :)

    You have to sort the seemingly random 16 names below into four groups of four connected names. Some of the names may fall in more than one category. Hopefully there is only one unique solution. Post what you think the 4 groups are together with each connection.

    FORFAR........WIGAN............KEEGAN.............MOORE

    TERRY..........ZAMORA..........DUNFERMLINE......LIVERPOOL

    CHARLTON.....MILLWALL.......BECKHAM........OLDHAM

    GOULD.........ALLOA............SHEARER.........VIDEOTON

    Well done, Terror. Obviously far too easy. I'll try and think up a harder one!

    Ben Thatcher was a Wales International at full-back, right and left.
    You're barking up the wrong tree though.

    Roy Hodgson, Jimmy Hogan (the founder of modern football), Peter Taylor, and Peter Reid are the correct 4.
    You are very, very, close on the category.
