Katie Borkins 1 Posted June 14, 2011 As my "name your favourite Norwich player whose name rhymned with an item of food or drink" thread was so successful, I thought that every Wednesday I could do a cryptic riddle about a Norwich player past or present and we could see which of you geniuses (geniii?) can solve it first to win some virtual fortune and glory. Here goes my first one. A male footballer - or was he? Good luck to all of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What''s the use of being able to spot a tautology if you can''t tell the birds from the bees? Think cryptically and in terms of a riddle. The world and his wifelets are watching.
