Spot the Whopper - Round Two!

Before the Premiership gets back into full swing this weekend, there’s just about time for one more round of footy trivia.

As before, all you have to do is spot the one whopping lie among these ten fantastic football ‘facts’….

Last time around, the whopper was the outrageous claim that ex-Charlton man Clive Mendonca has gone on to become a nationally renowned sea-angler. Of course not! But I won’t make it so easy this week.
