leeslover Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I will maintain till my dying day that I saw Ricky Villa in a cameo role in a grumble flick some years ago. I suppose footballers weren't paid as much in those days so he needed to make a bit on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Eric was behind our 21st Door. Yes he played for United, and he was French - but you cannot deny he was a brilliant footballer. Here's a clue for the 22nd.. Dec 22nd Born in 1959 in Sheffield this player will be best known for playing with QPR, although he did score 21 goals for Latics seasons before. He played in France and Scotland too, where he managed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennylatics Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Otherwise known as 'the gorgeous Simon Stainrod' (as I call him!) I hope it's a good pic of him when you open the window! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 After clearing the snow from my keyboard, today's player is "sexy" Simon Stainrod! o_0 On to tomorrows.... Dec 23rd Latics Scouse connections continue with this man. Born in 1964 this player began his career at Rhyl - playing through his professional career he ammassed nearly 600 pro games, and nearly 120 goals - incredibly he played more for Latics than any of his previous clubs, however he was and still is held in high regard with all them. Such an exciting professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 THE LEGEND David Eyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Behind the 23rd door was one of my favourite Latics players, David Eyres. He could walk into our team now... Now for the last one this Christmas, the 24th December door clue: I first appeared at Boundary Park in 1971 for a fee of around £70,000. 37 years later I was still at BP, however the relationship with the club was no longer tenable and I was gone. Like Roger Palmer, many fans hope for my return - but it's all in the history books now. Who am I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorrro Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 This is either a lovely bit of coincidence, or I've mentioned previously that the person I hate most in the world is Danny Dyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
