Thomas Johansson, Gustavo Kuerten x2 and Anastasia Myskina

Spoiler

I also missed Myskina. Also missed Costa, completely forgot about him.
Guga was my hero growing up watching tennis so was always going to remember him and I always remember Johansson because he won the Aussie Open in a year when all the top names went out and Henman had a real genuine chance of it but then lost to bloody Jonas Bjorkman, who always seemed to have the game to beat Henman.

[TomPNE94]

Disappointed with that, missed some easy ones.

Spoiler

Bairstow, Patel and several others I should have got

 

[NiallQuinnDiscoPants]

[Hooray]

[Hooray]

143 on that. Serious mind block once I got to the last few minutes!

Got all the Premier League sides anyway

 

[BCFC Jordan]

I only managed 98 but I'm usually awful at these anyway.

 

[TomPNE94]

Got 163 yesterday but didn't screenshot got all Prem and most of Spain and Germany. Blanked on Holland massively

 

[Krazy8]

Got 79/80 on the grand slam winners.

Fuck knows who the last one was, never even heard of them...

 

[Hooray]

This is a fun one. I got 46/50 with nearly 10 minutes still remaining (but should've had 47 - I was just getting the title slightly wrong for one of them). Had to stop it there though as wasn't going to remember the others.

I knew the ones I didn't get as well. I haven't heard them for so long though, so I'd forgotten the titles.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Missed some stupid ones

 

[Krazy8]

About 15 of those 21 were from fifa.....

 

[TomPNE94]

Got 45 but one of the ones I didn't get, I typed it right but it didn't give it me

 

[Gilly?]

I enjoyed that, only got 35. Whilst I found myself singing the songs I couldn't remember for the life of me most the titles of those songs.

 

[Veggie Legs]

I got 38 of those songs, much more than I was expecting. One more that I knew but got the title wrong, but on the whole I'm pretty happy not to have known the others.

 

[StagsForLife]

Got 31/50 it's harder to do on the phone as well with taking me to the proper website instead of the mobile website

44/50 with 10 minutes left. Rubbish rap and pretend angry rock killed me.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

40/50. Quite pleased with that. Think I'd struggle badly with this decade though, really feel quite divorced from chart music these days.

I'd hope to get 100% on this decade tbh, if anyone can find one, whack it up
