Is he white?
An interesting question. I imagine that most people who met him would describe him as white, but it's perhaps truer to say he's mixed. Indeed he would have been eligible for international duty for 3 different nations, one of which very much not a white country, due to his ancestry.

Also, and this is NOT a question (because the previous question-masters listed the questions periodically) - how many questions do we have left?

I do not believe so, no. Although it would be hard to describe this year as disappointing... at least not yet

Ok, so this means he does not play for Liverpool, Chelsea, Leicester City, or Manchester City.

Guesses are not questions until 20 questions have been asked, as per the established rules.

3. Guesses do not count against the total. Because of that, only one guess is allowed after all 20 are up.

This was not a question, it was a statement.

The four teams I mentioned in that post have contested English cup finals this season (and Liverpool were also in a European final).

I was referring to whether he played for Liverpool, Chelsea etc.

Harry Winks has an England cap, does he not?

Good good, thought it best to clarify.

Oh, was it ever specified that guessing names until you find your man by process of elimination is not allowed? If not, it is now specified ;)
