Q: Name six players whose surnames end in "tt" and
who have played for England since 1975.
A: Earl Barrett, Luther Blissett, Nicky Butt, Gary Mabbutt, Terry
McDermott, David Platt.
I used to list this question as "name five" even though I gave six answers, which in turn was because this question was doing the rounds before Nicky Butt won his first cap. I since decided that that was stupid, and so it's now "name six".
If the time restriction wasn't in this question, then you could also have had W. Abbott, A. F. Barrett, J. W. Barrett, W. Bennett, R. H. Birkett, R. J. E. Birkett, A. Bridgett, Bertie Oswald Corbett, R. Corbett, W. S. Corbett, J. Froggatt, R. Froggatt, T. Garrett, B. G. Jarrett, E. H. Lintott, A. Lockett, B. C. A. Patchitt, Suggett, L. Scott, W. R. Scott, R. P. Sillett, Ron Springett, and finally the tremendously named H. Thickett
There's at least one ex-Reading player in that list (Bertie Oswald Corbett).
Steve Froggatt almost makes it into the question but does not because he never actually played for England. He was named in a couple of squads during Kevin Keegan's reign, further proof if it was needed that Keegan should never have had the job.
