Dark Side challenges you!

Yes you, you lazy git! And the challenge is simple. Find us a player from any league who has a more ridiculous middle name than Kevin Cyril Davies.

You think that was easy? Try these out for size. Found whilst browsing the programme from the England game yesterday (thanks again Dot2Dot, your leather-clad, airplane-like chauffered minibus saved me having to mix with the proles on public transport) these are 5 of the hardest posers I've ever come across (except number 4, I got that before I'd finished reading the question). Get your mates in on this, you'll need them.

1. Four Englishmen currently playing in the Premier League have been transferred for at least £7m, but have not (to date) played for England's senior side. Name them.

2. Who are the two Englands players since 1995 whose surnames begin and end with the same letter?

3. Name 3 England players since 1990 with an X in their surname.

4. Only England player since 1990 to have just 3 letters in his surname?

5. Over the past 30 years, 8 England captains have played for the same English football club. Which one (and for brain boxes, who the fuck were they?)

But most importantly, a more silly middle name than Cyril.

Answers in the next couple of days, but if you know them, leave a comment (if you went to the game, don't be an idiot and publish them. Thanks.)

As a reward for your patience...some pretty girl in an England shirt, thanks to Rod Collins.
