Your balls have probably been inside a part of a ladies body.

Ladies are generally female

Margaret Thatcher was allegedly a female

Jacob Rees-Mogg allegedly molested himself to a photograph of Margaret Thatcher

Jacob Rees-Mogg serves in the most lying, self-centred and duplicitous government the UK has ever had which is headed up by Boris Johnson

easy
 
Diego De Girolamo to Juventus

Diego played with Bash at SUFC (Oct 7th 2014 at Hartlepool)

Bash played with Ramsdale

Ramsdale plays with Lacazette at Arsenal

Probably not the route he had in mind, but his agent did always say he’d make it to Juve..
 
Diego Maradona to Antwoine Hackford

Maradona played with Andrea Silenzi during his final season at Napoli

Silenzi played with Mark Crossley at Forest

Crossley played at Oldham alongside Chris O'Grady

Wasn’t Basham at Bolton with Anelka? Sure he’s mentioned it in an interview.
 
Me to Tony Currie

I played in the same cricket team as Andy Pack for Dronfield Contact in the early 1980s

I saw Andy play in the same cricket team as Tony Currie playing for SUFC staff at Eckington in summer 1993
 
McEveley to Maldini

McEveley played with Yorke at Blackburn

Yorke played with Beckham at Man Utd

Beckham played with Maldini at AC Milan
 
Some good ones on here so far. Let's make it more difficult.
Who can get the fewest connections between Earnest 'Nudger' Needham and Robert Lewandowski?
(Playing for the same club at different times doesn't count - not that Lewa has ever shown up for Staveley as far as aI'm aware)

These can be a bit of fun and a welcome distraction from the end of the world.

The way it works is you have to get from one player to another via player connections, so you think of a player you want to end with and a player to start with and try to find connections until you land on that initial player. It's classic reverse engineering (said in a Partridge voice).

Here is an example:

Ryan Giggs to Oli McBurnie


- Ryan Giggs played with Paul Pogba (at Manchester Red)

- Paul Pogba played with Gianluigi Buffon (at Juventus)

- Gianluigi Buffon played with Fernando Llorente (at Juventus)

- Fernando Llorente played with Oli McBurnie (at Swansea)

another example would be:

Lionel Messi to David McGoldrick


- Lionel Messi plays with Angel Di Maria (for Argentina)

- Angel Di Maria played with David De Gea (at Manchester Red)

- David De Gea plays with Dean Henderson (at Manchester Red)

- Dean Henderson played with David McGoldrick (at Yooonited)



Please feel free to set your own in this thread.

To kick off can you get from Raul to Chris Basham?

I’d dispute the fact that De Gea has ever played with Henderson in the same team at Man U.

I was thinking of these 4 moves but you have nailed it

Zinedine Zidane to John Fleck

Do they have to have literally played a game together, or can they have been at the same club? Otherwise, I was thinking it can be done in three…

Zidane - Pericard (both at Juventus at the same time, but Pericard never started a game for the 1st team).
Pericard - Jags
Jags - Fleck.

Yeah just at the same club works, I suppose ideally both would have made a first team appearance.
 
I may well use some of these on Sheff United Way social media. Thank you all.

Obviously if you don't wish me to use any of them just drop me a DM.
 
Les Tibott to Maldini in 4

Tibott played for us with Len De Goey

Len De Goey played with Rene Eijkelkamp at Go Ahead Eagles

Eijkelkamp played up front in a 1988 friendly with Marco Van Basten for the Netherlands

Van Basten obviously played with Maldini at AC Milan
 
Lionel Messi to Morgan Gibbs-White in 3 steps:

Messi played with Martin Braithwaite at Barcelona

Braithwaite played with Adama Traore at Middlesbrough

Traore played/plays with MGW at Wolves

Edit - it can be done in 2 steps!

Messi to Nelson Semedo to MGW

Matthews played for Blackpool with Jimmy Armfield

Armfield later played for Blackpool alongside John Burridge

Burridge went on to play for us alongside Peter Beagrie

Beagrie played with Sharp at Scunthorpe

John Burridge has played with everyone. Wouldn't be surprised if I've played 5 a side with him at some point.

I had a hunch his Blackpool career overlapped Armfield... Budgie's third appearance was Armfield's last.

Garry Flitcroft played with Burridge at Man City in 1995 but his spell with us coincided with Sharp being at Scunthorpe. That put me onto Beagrie, who also played with Burridge at Man City, as well as for us.
