Just 3 more questions to get right and one more team to complete question 13.

I hope this has provided a bit of light relief for those taking part in these difficult times. When we'll see more live football, God only knows. By the way, anyone who can get question 16 correct (without googling) has my utmost respect!

Stay safe everyone.

Without Google? No change! So, I googled no 16 and found an ex Torquay manager! And, later on, manager of Grimsby - to their best results (so far!).
