Subject: Sports Athletes QUIZ Quiz completed!
Written By: warped on 03/11/13 at 3:24 pm
This is a sports athletes quiz (retired athletes).
I've tried to expand this a little and picked some athletes from all around the world, instead of just North America.
Limit waived
Enjoy!

Spelling doesn't count. Unless you typed "zhafdrt mjzshaklysad" or a variation as an answer. You were close enough.
(And I hope "zhafdrt mjzshaklysad" isn't the name of a soccer player somewhere) Apologies to him ( or her) :-[

Yes, #5 is correct...John Newcombe. (oddly enough, I had almost picked Rod laver for the quiz, but went with another Aussie tennis player)
#18 is not Mary Peters. (In fact, I don't know who Mary Peters or Mary Rand were :-\\ I had to look them up on the internet. #18 does have a resemblance to Mary Rand, in the photo, I admit.) #18 is more recent.

She's married a tennis player, a skier and a golfer. Sounds like the start for a bad joke. "A tennis player, a skier and a golfer walk into a bar..."

Hockey players are hard for me to pick out, put pads and a helmet on them and I'll do better.
What threw me off with Bobby Orr was the A on his sweater, I always thought he wore the C.

No, it's not Mats Sundin. However Mats and #10 were teammates at one point in their NHL career. :o
Bobby was never team captain. Bucyk was...in a way..during Orr's career. Bucyk also wore the "A" in his shirt, but Bucyk was the player who accepted the cup in Boston's win in 1970 & 1972 as senior alternate captain.

Since it is obvious I'm no good with faces off the ice I am relying on clues and memory.
How about Joe Sakic, didn't he and Mats play together in Quebec?

Yup, they were together for a few years in Quebec.
Thus the quiz is completed. I think I'll do another one soon. Similar to this one.
Thanks to all who played, and Karma to you.
