Test out your ball knowledge.

Rules
Classic
Every guess has to close the gap.
Any link
Take any real connection, provided a finish still exists.
Both ends
Two chains. They meet in the middle.
Through
The puzzle also names someone the path has to pass.
Who
Players, managers, clubs. Include what counts as a valid guess.
Names
Known keeps the stars. Everyone lets the squad players in.
Era
Only the decades you choose. Leave them blank and the years stay open.
Comp
Club games, country games, or the lot. Blank is the same as both.
Length
Set the steps, or leave the length random.
