    Just caught the end of Pointless on BBC1 yesterday, final question was pretty easy imo. Players who played in the 2010 world cup final (either started or as a sub). Obviously the aim is to find the most obscure answer. 28 possible answers, 10 of which are 'pointless', a couple of which were quite well known.

    I got Sergio Busquets which was Pointless.

    One on other day was 'Name a horse thats won the Epsom Derby since 1970', and i got 6 pointless answers.

    Need someone to enter it with me, we'd win a fortune, well about 2k

    I just caught it after he'd said Van Bronkhorst, and the first name that came to my head was Gregory Van Der Wiel, purely because I remember him having a good tournament. Couldn't believe that Rafael Van Der Vaart was pointless yet Eljero Elia wasn't.

    There was one quite a while ago which was teams that had won the FA Cup. There were dozens of pointless answers but I got Barnsley, Bradford City, Bury, Charlton, Blackburn Oympic, Royal Engineers, Wanderers and Notts County
