It was a quiz, Mark. I was quizzing. It was a Christmas quiz.

Does this fella currently play in Turkey?

Time for Turkey - no, really.

It's Christmas-themed (of sorts): you may well be enjoying a lovely turkey today (or vegetarian equivalent), so to celebrate, we're presenting you with 20 footballers… who may or may not currently ply their trade in the country of… Turkey. You know how this goes, don't you?

You have two options for each: either yes, they play in Turkey, or, in the immortal words of Peep Show's Mark Corrigan… “No Turkey”. Yes, it's better than charades with the family.

Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

Your mastery of the Super Lig's global alumni is truly commendable: now, it is time to pivot from international stars to the specifics of managerial devotion, the unfortunate statistics of the domestic game, and the unique history of the Champions League knockout stages. If you are ready for a monumental test of dedicated trivia, your next challenge awaits, once again, courtesy of Kwizly.

We begin with a highly specific slice of national pride tied to a single club. Can you name every West Ham United player to go to a major tournament with England since 1966? That is a tough test of two overlapping histories. Next, we look at the ultimate tactical obsessive: try to name Marcelo Bielsa's most played players. This quiz rewards knowledge of the manager's unique systems and favourites.

Now for a detailed look at the unfortunate side of the game. Can you recall every player to have scored five or more own goals in Premier League history? This is a tribute to those with the worst luck. For a final test of continental longevity, try to name every club to have reached the Champions League knockout stage since 2000. That is a huge roll-call of European competitors.

Now, to navigate the winding roads of football trivia at a more leisurely pace, why not turn your attention to FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 32, with clues on No.10s, journeymen and Barcaysmen?
