There are two ways around this quiz.

Either you're one of those people who knows every president and prime minister off the top of your head. You might want to start inputting leaders' names into this quiz rather than footballers you remember.

Or, you're simply all about the Premier League. You might see a list of first names and remember the surname that connects them.

May we recommend that you use a mixture of both for this quiz. You only need to know about politics or football to get a decent score, here…
