I am actually cousin of highest goal scorer and best penalty corner specialist in field hockey for Pakistan i.e Sohail Abbas.I might have been a professional football player in Saudi Arabian league not for three bad injuries I suffered at 21 years of age 8 years ago

P.S Sohail Abbas has got the most goals in international hockey-350 plus goals.

My cousin is married to the son of Abdul Qadir who played over 100 ODIs and over 60 test matches for Pakistan

I had a mate who went school with Luke Varney if that counts.

My Nan used to live next door to Prince Naseems Nan, so yeah, I'm basically royalty.

Every Asian says that

good article OP

My grandad played for Wolves, Burnley and Bournemouth back in the '30's and some great uncle or something apparently played cricket for Lancashire.
Not blood related, but my cousin married Pete Rodrigues who captained Southampton when they won the FA Cup in '76.

I associate the name Minter with the boxer and family from Crawley (used to live there - full of Chelsea fans).

My uncle was pumping Gerard Butlers sister for a couple of years?

I used to deliver Ally McCoists papers when I was young

Ramboue I wasn't joking.I was serious.

My partner is 2nd cousins with a ex MK Dons and current Tottenham player

I heard Arouna’s Nan was a companion of a certain mr Rooney!

Not very cryptic as Dele Alli is the only ex MK Dons and current Tottenham player.

Well done on cracking that one

I once misdialed a phone inserted up a former Premier League footballer's ArCole, the b@stard wouldn't reply and let it ring indefinitely.

Well MK Dons was formed in 2004 so we're only looking at Spurs players of the last 13....

Oh FFS Brother has already solved it. Spoiler alert - it was Dele Alli

Well so am I. Its not hard to find him online he lives local to me and plays for Streetly cricket club

World Cup 62 England keeper Ron Springett used to be our decorator.

Can remember when he brought round some of his England caps to show me and I had no idea what they were so half distracted I said just put them over there and I'll check them out later Ron. He wasn't too happy with that Good guy though

I sold oxlade Chamberlains mum some fridge insurance during my summer job a few years ago. True story
