    Here is just a light diversion during the close season.
    I posted a similar quiz a couple of years ago when the answers were all Saints players. This time the clues are all either a football club, manager, player or ground past or present. the number of words in each answer is in brackets and some of the clues may contain anagrams.

    1. Chinese currency (2) - Answered correctly....East Sterling
    2. Blonde singer with Welles' citizen (2) - Answered correctly....Harry Kane
    3. Where the family guy walks his dog (2) - Answered correctly....Griffin Park
    4. Vicky and Liz stop car for hikers (3) - Answered correctly....Queens Park Rangers
    5. A soft sound made by 70s group (2) - Answered correctly....Russell Slade
    6. Welsh actor has old name for Great Britain (2) - Answered correctly....Burton Albion
    7. Jack is a sporty type (2) - Answered correctly....Charlton Athletic
    8. A tramp bowed I say (3) - Answered correctly....Tampa Bay Rowdies
    9. Is Mr Blair all tangled up? (2) - Answered correctly....Lionel Messi
    10. Squarebashing in the dale. (2) - Answered correctly....Valley Parade
    11. Get down and pray to a beatle (2) - Answered correctly....Neil Lennon
    12. Garden has a threat. (2) - Answered correctly....Eden Hazard
    13. Familiar Feudal Lord (2) - Answered correctly....Standard Liege
    14. TV Detective lets B sit around.(2) - Answered correctly....Luther Blissett
    15. Frankenstein's head attached to nomads (2) - Answered correctly....Bolton Wanderers

    The person that gets the last answer can post the next clue.
