My Biddy Aunt: Ill-Disciplinarians

In short

This Football Ramble episode of My Biddy Aunt is a trivia game themed “Foulers,” focusing on footballers known for ill discipline. The hosts (Marcus Speller, Luke Moore, Jim Campbell, plus Pete Dawson/Tom De Wrecker) run a bidding/challenge format: name how many clubs a player made competitive appearances for, with only professional clubs counting. Guests aren’t present; it’s a panel of the hosts. Key claims/examples: Vinnie Jones played for six pro clubs (including Chelsea, Leeds, Wimbledon, plus Wildstone/Sheffield United/QPR depending on counting rules). Ashley Young played for six pro clubs (Watford, Aston Villa, Man United, Inter, Everton, plus Ipswich). James Milner’s seven clubs include Brighton, Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Leeds, and a loan at Swindon Town. Fabrizio Coloccini’s near-nine list is contested; Arturo Vidal’s eight clubs are bid down to six, with correct big-club picks (Bayern, Juventus, Barcelona, Inter, Colo-Colo) and additional clubs like Leverkusen and Flamengo.

0:47Luke Moore: Previously on MyBeddyArt. Hey, Donaldson. Go on. France's William Gallas. Four clubs, Marseille. Very good. He was in Australia. I would go for Perth Glory. Oh my goodness. Norway. Come on! Norway. Two more clubs. Arsenal and Chelsea. For the first time ever!

1:16This is one of those games. It's quite difficult to explain, but you'll get it as soon as you start hearing it.

1:20Luke Moore: Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. It's my biddy aunt. I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Luke Moore. And I'm Jim Campbell. And Pete Dawson's Tom De Wrecker.

1:44Welcome back to another edition of My Biddy Aunt. I am in the hot seat today. Marcus has his eyes on the double after winning the Jack's Encyclopedia belt. However, due to Vish dodging this week's Friday show, we are doing another league fixture and Marcus is squaring up with Luke. We must tell you, we're only a few weeks away from the grand finales for both My Biddy Ant and Jack's Encyclopedia. So stay locked in for that. It is going to be a blast. Now, back to the game. If you don't know the rules, they are simple. Each round, I'll name a footballer. One of Luke or Marcus will bid for how many of that player's clubs they can name.

2:23your opponent can then raise the bid or challenge you to name them. Only professional clubs count, and the player must have made a competitive appearance for that team. If you fail to meet your bid, your opponent scores. First to three points wins. Today's theme is Foulers. These are players who have been known for their ill discipline while on the football pitch. Luke is to go first. What are you thinking about this category? I think it's quite a good category. I think it's quite a nice little section I'm still reeling from Pete winning one it's great it's seismic stuff it's great he's so underrated perfect glory brilliant I think he's the major Charles Ingram of this game that's what I think the guy who cheated he wants me the coffin fella so that's coughing not coughing yeah yeah anyway it does come for us all it comes for us all I'm being dreadfully unfair to Peter I don't mean it and he's not here to defend himself so that wouldn't be right suddenly realise

3:20Luke Moore: you're going to have to play him soon yeah exactly I came very close to being beaten by him as well. So look, I'm happy to go first. I'm happy with the theme. The theme sounds fun. Let's do it. Okay, you are up first and you're first near-do-well. Played for six clubs. His name is Vinnie Jones. God blimey. Okay. A six, you say? Six. Yeah. It's a tricky one, this. Give you that. Wow. I'll go four. Four? I'm not that confident, but I'll go four. Four is good. Marcus, can I hear five? Marcus is in turmoil here cover your answers otherwise I'll I can't read your writing because it's scribbly but I don't want to ever see it yeah no I'm using the old hieroglyphics it's got the enigma machine behind that laptop Marcus I'm going to need a number for you no go on get him to do his four okay four clubs for Vinnie Jones okay I'm worried about one of them because I I'll do the three on no first go on yeah so I definitely know you play four Wimbledon correct he played for Chelsea correct and he played for Leeds correct so that's the three I definitely know he played for them so I know where he started his career but I'm wondering whether this is going to count or not because you said in the intro professional clubs and he has to have made an appearance for them now I know for a fact because I've I've read his autobiography that he started his career at Wildstone does that count?

4:44is it your answer? Wildstone's my answer if it's not on the list I'll take it on the chin but if it's on the list I'm very happy with that obviously he played there between 1984 and 1986 there we go Marcus did you have any different answers for Vinnie Jones

4:56Luke Moore: I didn't have Wilston so they were a professional club were they that's what I was thinking apparently so so he also he went on loan to IFK Holmson in 1986 but at the time the league they were playing in was considered an unprofessional league so there was a very obscure but tricky answer that you could have tripped up on there that would have been unfair if you'd have put that on the back I'm sorry but at the time The other two clubs he played for were Sheffield United and I fucking knew that. And Queen's Park Rangers. So Queen's Park Rangers I didn't know. I remember Sheffield. Well I say remember.

5:24I was aware of it. You can picture him in the kit when you know it. Yeah yeah yeah. Totally yeah. Well well played Luke. Well fair play to you. Well I mean the way to look at it I suppose is I named the club I knew he played for them and it was on the list. You got it right. You got it right Sam. You're 1-0. There you go. So that is 1-0 to Luke Marcus. I knew Jones was going to come up as soon as you said foul

5:40Luke Moore: is it surely. You are right. There's nothing you do watch you're sat in here, is there? You don't know what you're doing. Did he not play for that prison team as well? Mean machine. Jason Statham and goal. Because they were my fourth team. The monk, Jason Statham and goal. Again, they weren't professional. They weren't allowed to be paid. It would be a... Marcus, it would be an absolute conflict of interest playing them. I should say so. I should say so. So Luke is 1-0 up. Marcus, you are up next. Your player played for six clubs as well. A bird once shat in his mouth is Ashley Young. Ashley Young.

6:12you've got six clubs oh okay this is interesting this is a really good is Ashley Young known as a fowler I also am intrigued as to his inclusion there actually the young lads who put these lists together man look at Connor Wickham as an FA Cup legend yeah he's just outrageous of themes sometimes it always falls down at one point six clubs in total you say yes okay Marcus can I hear a number from you you're still thinking about the bird shitting in his mouth, aren't you? I am. I absolutely am. But what kit was he wearing when it happened? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what you want to ask.

6:51Luke Moore: Oh, I have to go high here because I'm worried about the Luke Moore factor. I mean, you just heard he got another one. I know. All right, I'll push it to five. Five. So I've definitely got five. Can I hear six from you, Luke Moore? Yeah, I mean, that's the thing, isn't it? Do I go for six or do I let him name his five? How confident does he seem? Marcus is pretty good so I think he probably would get five. Yeah. Do you press or do you sit back a little bit here? Without giving Marcus too much of a clue I feel like the sixth one is some kind of loan that I'm not aware of. So I'm going to let him name his five and hope he slips up I think.

7:28Okay. Away we go Marcus. Can I hit five clubs for Ashley Young? Watford. Correct. Aston Villa. Correct. Played there twice. Manchester United. That's where the bird's shouting his mouth. That's what we were waiting for.

7:42Luke Moore: Inter. Correct. Oh, shit. That's the one I didn't have. And Everton. Correct. Yeah, do you know what? I had the end of this career at Ipswich, right? Which is also correct. Oh, is that right? Yeah, that was the sixth. So I thought to myself, I'm fairly confident with that. I was thinking, come on, there's got to be another. Yeah, Ipswich, I totally lost my stuff. So we both had five, but you got in there. It's a high quality round and it's one all. Well done, Marcus. What's that? Yeah, I totally forgot bloody Ipswich. So, yeah. There's a lot of footballers, Marcus. We can't know where they all are at all times.

8:08He's even producing them.

8:36easy with us in your corner. Our best lineup is here at Lowe's. Ballot through 527. While supplies last, selection varies by location. See associate or lowes.com for details.

8:51It's Luke's turn now. This actually, again, I'm not sure this fits the theme. Now I think about it. This has become a thing, isn't it? It's Gary Lineker.

9:04So, seven clubs. James Milner oh he's just played a lot yeah I mean he would have committed a hell of a lot of fouls just by the sheer volume of games he's appeared in I suppose yeah I can't think of a specific one seven you say seven clubs for for James Milner

9:23oh man how is that only six um again it's gonna be oh okay six I'm gonna make Marcus name all seven

9:34Luke Moore: can you do that Marcus I think I can I'm going seven that's massive that's absolutely massive there's been a lot of chat in the MyBiddyAunt fan network as it were that if you name all of them you should get a bonus point not only that today but I'm just saying there's a lot of chat that should be that well you should have got that did you get all for BT? no I think I got all of them but I've got a lot of them I got all of them for Danny Rose famously once including both Bristol clubs yeah Rose isn't in today is he could be so I'm going to have to go seven because I know he's got the six Luke I'm I'm duty bound to give you the opportunity to match the seven.

10:07Oh, yeah. There's no point. Do we have to say them at the same time? No, obviously I can't do that.

10:15Luke Moore: Marcus, off you go then. Okay, so let's do the one. So Brighton, obviously. Correct. Manchester City. Yep. Liverpool. Aston Villa. Also played there twice. Yeah. Newcastle United. Correct. As I said that, I was like, ah! Leeds United. So there's the six. And this... They're the six I had by the way. Yeah, so it's a loan spell. Was it Swindon? It was. Oh, well done, mate. Well done, Marcus. That's really, really good. As soon as you said that, it made sense. Yeah. I can see one down now. Yeah. Well played, Marcus. Really good. So, yeah, Marcus, you and I. That's one of those ones where you just, you've heard about the man so many times, obviously the longevity, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and you remember reading it or seeing it somewhere.

10:56Luke Moore: Yes. Because I never saw him play there. So I'm relying on other people's knowledge yet again. What year was he at Swindon? He was at Swindon Town in 2003. No, okay. So I used to watch Swindon quite a lot back in about 2005, 6, 7. So I wonder if I ever saw him. Did you? Yeah. Why was that? Because the girlfriend at the time, it was her brother and dad's local team. Oh, right. So it used to go quite a bit. Oh, there you go. The Swindon lot. Yeah, literally the Swindon lot. He's got the magic roundabout, hasn't he? Indeed. Indeed. So, Marcus, it's your turn. Here we go. You can win it here. Oh, God, come on.

11:26Because you're all 2-1 up. Heads on. Heads on. this player played for nine clubs it's Fabrizio Colaccini oh my so he was a fowler to be fair this is a tricky one though it really is

11:40Luke Moore: it really bloody is an awful stinker this one

11:48for some reason I'm not fine on this one that hard I'm not going to get near nine Fabrizio Colaccini I've said that I've not got that many what are you thinking Marcus? three three okay I think I can do four okay this is big can you do five Marcus for Fabrizio Colaccini I can't do five okay so Luke over to you I believe you played for New Carphe United he did that's your yeah there we go there we go now we can all relax yeah I think he was at Milan AC Milan at one point he was at AC Milan between 1999 and 2004 does seem surprising but yeah he was there did you know that Atletico Madrid He's one of the most Atletico Madrid players who has ever lived.

12:32And I think he also played for Villarreal. That's your four. He did, correct.

12:36Luke Moore: So we are level. What did you have, Marcus, on that? Oh, I had very little. Newcastle Station, and I think he played... Did he play for Vela Sarsfield? He did not. Where have I got that from? Well, he started his career in 98 at Boca Juniors. Do you know what? I had that with the question, Marcus. You always want to be guessing Boca. Yeah, for some reason, I don't know why. If you pushed me to five or six, I would have guessed. Yeah, okay. And he then went to AC Milan, ended up at San Lorenzo on loan, later joined them again in 2016. That's what I'm thinking. Played for Alaves in Spain and stayed in Spain for a while, going to Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, and then Deportivo La Coruña, then to Newcastle United, and then finally at Aldo Vizzi.

13:17So that's a tough one, that. It's a tough one. You won't get a near nine for that.

13:21Luke Moore: Fair play to you for pulling that out of the boat. Atletico Madrid, I think his time in Spain, I suspected strongly that he did play in Spain. But I thought, well, I've opened Newcastle, and I was, ah, we have Vélez. Oh, there we are. It wasn't enough anyway. We must have a decision. Here we go. We must. This is what we want, really. It's Luke 2, Marcus 2. It's Luke's turn to go first. Come on. The final player played for eight clubs. It's a fantastic name for my bitty aunt, and just in general, it's Arturo Vidal. Ooh. Very tricky one, this. Yeah. Great player. Great Mohawk. What's a good guess?

13:58What's a good opening bid to get that sweet spot where we need it? That's down to you, big boy. That's good. Four. Four. Can you do five, Marcus?

14:12I'll have to go five. Oh, good man. Okay. Good for you. Oh, this is tough now. See, that's a really good tactical move because you've fucked me now. You could go six. No, I know I can. And will you?

14:27I'm pretty sure I've got five I probably should have bid five

14:34yeah I'll go six why not bloody hell six that's big for Arturo Vidal can I hear seven from you Marcus seven clubs that Vidal played for if you get this I'll give you the money myself do seven come on he's considering it look at his face look at his face go on your own terms do the anti Lars Lars famously won it once without doing a single guess amazing seven seven clubs of eight for Arturo Vidal can I go no I'll get him to do six okay I think that's probably the smart move okay well I haven't got six so that's a pretty I want to hear him lads maybe we can start off with the ones I have got and then see how you feel halfway through okay so you definitely played for Bayern Munich he did played for Juventus sure did played for Barcelona sure did and now it gets tricky it does

15:36Luke Moore: it does and the question marks appear oh they do all over the page Inter correct did you have Inter yeah okay so what's that four that's four of six and he's Chilean so I'm going to go Colo Colo correct yeah that's a guess lovely So I'm one away. That was my five. Okay, right. That was my five. So I'm one away. You are. Right. Come on. Go into the mind palace. Here we go. He's gone down to the last frame. Channel the James Beatty. And the last black. Channel the James Beatty. This is drama on a Friday afternoon. I will channel the James Beatty and energy, but I'm not going to guess you. Here we go.

16:13Here we go.

16:13Luke Moore: His button is on a winner. His button is on one of the winner buttons. To me, this is your textbook, my buddy aren't, because you go for the big clubs you know he's played for. Then you go, well where did he come from Chile Colo Colo the same way you'd go Boca if it was Argentina to me now where's my mind going now Marcus what country is my mind going to now Scotland Turkey he's obviously got to go to Turkey at some point surely he played in Turkey or did he play in another South American nation before he came to Europe come on yeah we need an answer is he playing the Welsh League need an answer Galatasaray Marcus yeah he never played in Turkey he did not did he play for Boca Juniors he did not you will kick yourself at this one he played for Bayer Leverkusen between 2007 and 2011 he also played for Flamengo and Atletico Paranayense so some tricky ones there I wasn't going to get it tricky ones well played there we go can you play that jingle that was the newly won it's not difficult to beat Marcus or Pete oh hello hello hello oh there you go take my medicine not really a jingle is it yeah or just a quote oh fine you can put some music under it at least lazy lazy production I tell you what this is the first I think it's the first time in this studio that I've beaten you it's been that long certainly at my bid 'y arn and we moved in here in September in September 04 just after Milner's Lone Spellets well played you're back in form you're back in form Marcus that was very good yeah it was good it was great standing solid great show enjoyed it It had to be done.

17:51The good news is I'm not going to get a lot of pelters about the controversy around Wealdstone now because I lost anyway.
