2 guesses paid off and 1 failed

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

Definitely a tough one this time.

[Cleoriff]

Hardest WRQ everrrrrrrr!😂

I was a real fan of David Beckham and I was only 14 goals out!! 🤣

Great quiz though @Mi-Amigo.

PS @Martin-O2 @RafaC @Breanna  Could you check the account advisors today please. Nothing for Friday Thanks. PPS It's now sorted 🙄

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM @MI5 @Cleoriff 

I think, as has been said on the thread, this was one of the hardest WRQ, so well done on your awards.  

[jonsie]

Phew that was so difficult @Mi-Amigo 

[RafaC]

Yeah, I mean... none of my guesses was correct 😣
Well, you live, you learn.

Thanks for the quiz @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone.

@Cleoriff glad that's sorted now.

[pgn]

Zero Silvers? That has to be a first!

Wicked one, that, @Mi-Amigo 😉👍

PS. Keep 'em coming!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @jonsie @RafaC @pgn 

When I was putting this quiz together, I did think that some of the questions might be a challenge.

In fact, it is not the first WRQ in which we have had no Silver Thinker.

Hopefully, everyone will find next week`s WRQ quizzes a little easier.

[Comben]

Thanks Mi-Amigo, I’m happy to get 3 because that WRQ was very difficult, needing to have very specific knowledge of people and events during a certain time frame. Well done to those with correct guesses I was no where near on mine. 😂

Looking forward to an easier WRQ on Monday. Where hopefully we can get back a Silver Thinker. 👍🏻
