Picture PEEHS - Sport Stars

Welcome to Lassykk's Picture PEEHS - Sport Stars

I will leave this open for a couple of weeks and until after EN's TV show reveal so there's no scope for a clash.

For those of you who played the album covers / tv show quiz, this is the same principle but you have to name sport stars, you can jump down to the pics if you want

But if this makes no sense, you need the beginners guide to PEEHS.
PEEHS is basically like TV's Pointless. You'll get one point for every person who gives the same answer as you, and you want low scores. So you want to deviate from the crowd.

Research isn't allowed - no googling or no image searches

In this quiz you'll see 10 sets of 8 pictures of sport people across various categories of sports, you just have to name one of the sports people - the one you think fewest people will name. I have included some of the most famous from each sport so that everyone should be able to play along even if not that interested in sport itself. I have also included some obscure ones too, some of which I'd be very surprised if anyone gets!

To enter, send me a PM with the list of 10 sport stars (unnumbered please, so I can copy them out easily)

I'll give out answers and scores over the course of an hour or so one day probably after lunch. If you can, it's cool having people on board commenting.

(Apologies to EN but I used most of your text above rather than coming up with my own!)

Now on to the sports

These are in order of my preference for the sports too! I don't really have any interest in Golf or Rugby at all but given their popularity I didn't want to ignore. I wanted to include a WWE selection but it's not really a sport so said I'd best leave it out! If there's a tie breaker it will be WWE


Soccer





Motorsport





Snooker





Tennis





Darts





Athletics





GAA





Boxing/MMA





Rugby





Golf

Tried to leave at least one gimme in each category as I know not everyone is into sport.

I struggled with the TV one myself and needed to rely on my toddler's taste in TV to get me across the line

I must admit I didn't know them all myself either - it's the one sport I had to check a couple of images for each player to make sure I wasn't putting up the wrong one!

I have zero interest in Gaelic Football and hurlers wear helmets so that makes recognition a bit trickier!

I know two of the GAA players personally so they could be obscure for people depending on their level of interest in the game.

There's a gimme in the GAA? And from lassykk's later post, apparently there's one in the rugby too. Not that the knowledge that they're there helps me much.

I actually meant to come back and ask privately who they thought that was. I reckon there's a couple of easy ones in each category but I suppose if you don't follow a sport at all then they aren't easy at all.

If someone threw up the 8 most famous jockeys in the world I wouldn't pick out any of them!

Yeah, horse racing is another one I'd be screwed on too!

Good number of entries already



My pics/gifs are going to be cryptic on occasion - no bonus points on offer but feel free to guess what the number / significance of the person is

Was one of my favourite players as a kid!

I'll do another later depending on the numbers at that stage.

Next one will be Motorsport themed

For anyone who needs some help, here's a tip:

Motorsport, bottom left, is Alan Partridge.

PM sent!

Some cracking entries so far.

One person in particular has picked really well so far and picked up some of my most obscure ones.

There are 2 extremely obscure answers which no one has picked yet though. Be shocked if either were picked to be honest.

Decided to not do a sporting challenge for the number of entries so far as my Motorsport one was going to be based on number of titles people have won and one of the people I was going to use was guessed in one of the entries (incorrectly) so I don't want to be giving people an advantage by putting up pictures with names that they could rule out.

Anyway, we have 11 so far

Slower day yesterday but to be expected

Little challenge for anyone who cares to take it on based on the below - How many entries have we so far

12

Afraid not

Trigger

Probably to do with how many championships they have between them, Citreon have a few anyways, I'd say McClaren have over 10 so I'll go 15

lassykk

Too high I'm afraid but you have the right logic!

Oh I didn’t even look at the pic lol
