How to play Yes, No, Sort Of: the daily guess the footballer game

How to play

One mystery footballer a day. Same player for everyone. New one at midnight UK time.
Ask anything yes or no: “Big six?” “Defender?” “90s?” “London club?”
Ten turns. A question or a name guess uses one. Run out? Golden goal: one shot to name him.
Name him in full, first name and surname.

Tense matters: “Has he played in the Prem?” is his whole career. “Does he play in the Prem?” is right now.
Decades: “Did he play in the 2010s?” Yes if he played then at all. “Is he a 2010s player?” Only if most of his games came then. Add a club or league: “Arsenal in the 2010s?”
Sort of: Partly true. A striker who also played wide is a sort-of winger. A Welsh club in the English league is a sort-of English club.
Loans and few apps: Only ever there on loan? You’ll hear so. Under 25 league games for a club is only a few apps.
Positions: A holding midfielder is a midfielder, not a defender. Wingers are sort of midfielders and sort of forwards.
Trophies: He counts as a winner if he was in the squad and played in that competition that season. Ask “more than once?” for counts.
Places: “London club?” “North of England?” “Played in Italy?” Clubs count by where they’re based.
Names: First name and surname. Half a name is a yellow card: no turn lost.
Lifelines: Penalty: one free question or shot. Change shape: a random tile turned over (the club is where he played most games). VAR check: the ref explains a sort of. One use each, not in golden goal.
