AngryPaul's "Who Am I?"

[AngryPaul]

Well well well, what have we here? I can tell you it has been a while since I started a thread like this, but as my Betting Shop (RIP) is in the past I shall attempt another sporting (well, football really) thread.

The basic game is to guess the name of a player from the clues I give out.

Example:

1: Played for Manchester United as No. 7

2: Now at Real Madrid

Is it Graeme Le Saux?

No

3: He is married to a (and I use the term loosely) singer

Beckham?

By jove he's got it!

And so forth.

Rules: Answers are only accepted with the players full name (with exception to certain South American players)
Maximum of 6 guesses per player.
One answer per post [failing that, the first answer from the post will be taken]
More will be added as they are uncovered.

Its rather simple and I will keep a record here of who has the won most and anyone who wins gets a plus as well (Cue: "ooooohhh")

Now they will be more complicated than Beckham, but I may make them harder if people get them too easy.

I have just thought of a competition we could do by putting people in groups - like a "Who Am I Cup". More explained after the first few rounds. Anyone interested say so.
