Which former Premier League defender is revealed in the footballer voice-note quiz?
Welcome to Footballing How with
Can you say Rob Beckett?
Rob Beckett.
Can you say Josh Whitakam?
Josh Whiticum.
Well done. Good boy.
So difficult, isn't it? How are we meant to know that? So is this a footballer's wife that's got in touch or
footballer's partner? Is it Liam Ridgewell again?
A footballer's partner, I believe, because the lady that sent the email kindly sent the email has a different surname to this player.
Oh, Michael doesn't like the modern woman that likes to keep her surname, does he?
Oh, then why do you cover your face, you disgusting Andrew Tate bitch? Don't get me started on those cucks that take their wives. You alpha. You mugging us.
Those hyphen pussies. Active footballer? They sounded a bit older than a footballer. Do you want a series of clues? See if you can get it?
Yeah,
come
that's just a man's voice. I've I've done some deducing there, Michael. Is that fair?
Yeah, I think everything you've said so far is accurate. Okay, so ex-footballer because they they're not in their twenties. So
what's
a clue?
So clue number one, um I was born on the seventh of may nineteen seventy four in Berry St Edmunds in England. So fifty two. I played as a defender and I began my career at Chelsea in nineteen ninety one. It's not candy, is it? Night. Is it Frank Sinclair? Uh incorrect. Own goal king. Not bad guesses. You want a second clue? Yep. Yeah. In nineteen ninety three, I signed for Blackburn Rovers for a fee of three hundred thousand pounds. A defender. Blackburn Rovers. Defender. Graham Lassar. Incorrect. Ian Pierce. Correct.
Come on. Fucking eat God I'm great. Brilliant. Sorry, I really regret Shadow.
Should we listen to it again? Because it'll be obvious now we listen to it. Oh that just screams Pierce, doesn't it? Yeah, let's have a list let's have another listen to Ian Pierce and his his wife who hasn't taken his name.
Can you say Rob Beckett?
Rob Beckham. There it is, uh obviously Josh
Whitaken.
Josh Whitakom. There you go. That's Pierce that's Ian Pierce all day. No offense here, Piers. Can I spot you in the street? Absolutely not. No. But I can get you through Wikipedia.
Has she said anything, Michael? Is she be emailed in touch or are you in touch with her? Are you tracking these down?
She she's emailed, she said, Dear Rob, Josh and Michael, here's a voice clip of my partner, Can You Guess Who It Is? A few t tiny bits of info, managed to play for his best team West Ham for six years. We this is this is nice. We love to listen to both of your podcasts on our long drives up and down the country, now watching football, not playing. It is Ian Pierce, he says he's bang average and you won't even know who he is. I
Oh that's something he's won a league title with Blackfoot. Yeah,
and let's be honest, he was bang average, but I do know who he is. Let's you know and that's not an insult. He is a absolutely straight down the middle bang average Premier League player, which makes him better than ninety nine percent of footballers in the world, but let's more than ninety nine percent. Let's be honest with the facts there. Love Ian Pierce. Yeah, you know. He was a Premier League winning defender. Yeah, which is when Colin Hendry was injured. Yeah. I think he was starting centre back, wasn't he? Would
he be Colin Hendry's partner, default partner, or would that have been Henning Berg?
No, his partner emailed in. There you go. That's comedy. David May, maybe. I'm looking at the Premier League winning team. So squad. Tim Flowers, right back, Tony Gale. Then Jeff Kenner. Yeah. Ended up at Plymouth. Tim Sherwood was number four. Colin Hendry, Graham Lasso, Stuart Ripley, Gallagher, Shearer, Mike Newell, Jason Wilcox, Nikki Marker, Bobby Mims. Nikki Marker started at Plymouth. Ryan Witchgard. Chris Sutton, number sixteen, Robbie Slater, Henning Berg, Paul Harford, Mark Atkins, David Batty, Paul Woolhurst, number twenty-five, Ian Pierce. Shea Given was on the bench. Say what you will
about Kenny Dowlish. Not many people say many things about Kenny Dowlish. To win the league with that squad is something else. EMP. He's head of recruitment at West Bromage Albion.
