The REALLY Obscure Sportsmen Thread

[METALMAN]

So, same rules as Lineker's, but rather than being confined to Premier League footballers, you can name any sportsman from any sport - the only proviso is that they must be really, incredibly obscure!

So for example, I might start with Diego Maradona.

"Who the fuck is he?" you might exclaim.

I don't know!

Next person might say, I don't know, someone like Michael Jordan.

No, me neither.

[Lineker]

This is what happens when they give Scotland the internet.

[Liam]

Your face is a witty satire.

[EddieG]

I think I get how to play this!

TIGER WOODS!

Looks like a baseball player or something I think!

[METALMAN]

Um. Well. Good on you for trying and all--you're certainly at the right level in terms of prominence. Thing is, because I'd just said Michael Jordan, you need an obscure sportsperson whose name begins with the letter J. Maybe Johan Cruyff or something.

Good effort though!

[EddieG]

Eh, rules are made to be broken, right?

Jenson Button better?

[brenchill]

Eddie, you mong.

Jeannette Goergen-Philipp

Placed 38th in Woman's Archery in the 1992 Summer Olympics representing Luxembourg.

Not sure if she is as obscure as Michael Jordan though.

EDIT: Meh, I'm not editing in this just because someone "beat me". I'm proud of my quick Googling.

I love Eddie's uncanny ability to completely ruin an already bad thread.

[METALMAN]

Already bad? The nerve!
