Name the football star quiz with fiery ex-Liverpool ace, bitter rivals and loudmouth star

We're launching a new weekly quiz series Name the Football Star to bring a bit of fun to dreaded Mondays back at work.

Every Monday, we'll be testing the knowledge of our Star Gold premium subscribers, who simply have to identify famous footballers. But there's a catch - all you have to go off is the player's Wikipedia profile and their senior career clubs.

The only clues you'll be given are their list of clubs, number of appearances and number of goals scored - essentially the information on the right-hand side of their Wikipedia page. However, you won't be privy to their nationality or position. So can you identify the five footballers just by perusing their Wikipedia column?

This week's a bit of a toughie, with most of the footballers linked to a club that stubbornly refuses to drop from the top tier, one a fiery ex-ace from their bitter rivals, and another character who since hanging up his boots has become a loudmouth TV and radio pundit.

So, fancy a punt at guessing some of the players in this week's Name The Football Star quiz?

To bag all five points, simply type in the name of the player you believe it is. But watch out, any misspellings will result in a fail for that question.

If you can't see the quiz above, click here. Let us know exactly how you got on in the comments section below.

We're feeling generous so we'll accept either their full name or just their first or last name - whichever you can recall.

And don't forget to challenge your mates and family to beat your score so they too can squander 10 minutes of their workday while they're shackled to a desk.

If you've enjoyed this quiz, and let's face it, why wouldn't you? Then make sure to return every Monday for another instalment.
