This teaser has been driving me nuts. I wish Simmo / Statto was still around. He would have loved working this out and would probably have been to every ground he played at too. Any thoughts anyone?

- I scored goals in English football in the 1980s.
- I scored for my country.
- I scored 2 hat-tricks in the same year once.
- At 2 consecutive clubs, I had a goal per game ratio.
- I was capped by my country in 2 different decades.
- I was left out of my country's World Cup squad and sadly never won another cap.
- Weirdly, my first cap was also in a World Cup year.
- I was at 2 capital city clubs.
- The first 2 English clubs I was at both have red in their home shirt.
- I played club football in 2 countries that have won the World Cup.
- In the last 10 years of my career, my birth country were in 2 World Cups.
- In one country, I was at 5 clubs.
- In a different country from that, I was at more than 2 clubs.
- I was at clubs beginning with the letters RST.

the 2 clubs I scored a goal per game ratio at, they begin with C and S.
- I was born in a place with a link to cars.
- 1 of my former teams shares a word with the surname of a Republic of Ireland former international (this could well be a giveaway...).
- My senior career only lasted 15 years.

My guess is a Scottish player but that's as far as I got.

Just looked at a list of Irish internationals and the only ones I found with names that sound like teams were Ian Harte(s) and Anthony Stokes. But there are so many clues here that someone should have got it by now, so I might call fake here

Its not Woodcock. Theres also a couple of guys called Fullam and Bermingham who played for EIRE. If its a fake, I will personally go and find the geezer on FB who set this and practice my golf swing on his jacobs!

Personally, looking at his website I dont think it is fake.
