"Premier League stars Emiliano Buendia, Marcos Senesi and Jean-Clair Todibo have only done it once. Xavi Simons, Willy Caballero and Yerry Mina have only done it a handful of times or fewer. Javier Mascherano did it hundreds of times and with different teams. How many times has Cristiano Ronaldo done it? We'll reveal the answer this time next week in the next edition of The Pre-Match Poser stay tuned for that but for now, here's the answer to last week's conundrum Q."
"John Stones was never in the running but his Manchester City team-mate, Erling Haaland, managed to become the second to say he'd done it after Jamie Vardy. What was it? A. Erling Haaland is able to say he's the second Yorkshireman to have won the Golden Boot. Stones was born in Barnsley, and as a defender, he was perhaps unlikely to follow Sheffield-born Vardy but since Haaland was born in Leeds, he was the one to achieve it."
An elite-level trivia poser lists players who have achieved a particular footballing feat varying numbers of times: Emiliano Buendia, Marcos Senesi and Jean-Clair Todibo have done it once; Xavi Simons, Willy Caballero and Yerry Mina have done it a handful of times or fewer; Javier Mascherano did it hundreds of times and with different teams. The puzzle asks how many times Cristiano Ronaldo has done the same thing and promises to reveal the answer next week. The previous conundrum identified Erling Haaland as the second Yorkshireman to win the Golden Boot after Jamie Vardy because Haaland was born in Leeds. Additional quizzes cover Europa League clubs since 2009, Premier League geography, Champions League statistics and a weekend crossword.
