To clarify as its not that clear the link bonus will only apply if you get all the players - its like a tie break thing as I think a fair few will get all the players - one sub may be hard

Fairly confident I have them all so far and possibly the link, but won't know for sure until a few more come through.

I thought I had them all last season and got a few wrong so wouldn't be too concerned just yet

CM 2
Born here. Well not literally here
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Came to the club far too late so his time here was not exactly unforgettable. Only if he was a few years younger he could have been the Stardust we needed to push up the table. Left fairly soon after his arrival and we cannot pretend he was anything but a let down. Ended his career overseas, not a case of too young but too old in the end.
BONUS POINT ALERT: An extra point is available if you can identify the words in the above ramble that are clues to his identity and why (there is another clue as well but no points for that)

Fairly sure I have all 9 and the bonus point. Still not convinced on the link however.
CM2 took me on a journey I didnt need to go on, making the clue more complicated than it was to Ysrael Zuniga. Quite a leap and not him, so I'm ok to post. He's only 46 now, I thought he was older when we signed him.

Proper one in two scorer.
258 scored from 556 .

Centre Forward 1
I may as well get this one out the way - too easy but could not get the link to work for two strikers
This is not the place of birth - obviously - but work the clue to get it
Tried to make it harder with a young photo but doesn't really hide who it is
As for the player clue - its the sexiest sport star of 1981 posing nude....

I think I have but it seems a bit too obvious. Maybe sneak in Faisal El-Idrissi
Indeed just a theory until theye all in.

Can’t see how he’d qualify for my link

Centre Forward Two
As it seems easy for most of you I have made this one a bit harder than originally intended.
If you have the misfortune to watch Only Connect hosted by the smug ghastly Victoria Coren Mitchell you may get how how this works.
I show 3 pictures and there is a connection to the player. You have to put an answer in for the 4th player AND the actual centre forward I have selected. So here the answer actually required is two players. I can clarify if that makes no sense. The first picture though is in keeping as it provides a clue to the place of birth - I think it will make sense
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
So the 4th picture is a ex player than links the above to the CF - so 2 players are need. If someone is being pedantic they would point only Only Connect operates in chronological order - this does not
LINK CLUE - Within the lyrics of Gone Hollywood by Supertramp lies a clue

Really appreciate the effort Grendel has put into doing this, and it’s been fun trying to work things out. But I don’t have all the players, and the link seems completely beyond me, so I am probably out at this stage. Good luck to the rest of you!
I’ve made a donation anyway - I see that the charity vaccinates dogs. Pretty sure that’s a sneaky way for the government to spread subliminal political messages via. their barking, and to remotely control their behaviour from GCHQ.

Is the 4th player a CF or just an ex player in general? Does the place of birth relate to the 4th player or the CF?

My thoughts exactly, I have all the players up until today's but I'm struggling to understand the link and CF2. Will have another look during Christmas but not confident I will even understand what to look for.
