I will regret this statement within the week, but I think I may stump you with this week’s challenge. I’ve given you challenges similar to this one before, but I don’t think I’ve ever found a person who was so obscure and yet, so well-known at the same time. He has also led a very interesting life, so there were plenty of neat clues to be gleaned from his biography. Join me after the jump and we’ll see what you’re made of!
- The city of my birth played a major roll in a Shakespearean play.
- My current place of employment is served by bus route #138
- Since my retirement I have had a successful side career as a poker player.
- I won two top-flight championships, two league cups, and one cup.
- I am of Indo-Mauritian descent and was capped 18 times by my country- though that country was neither India nor Mauritius.
- I have a Champions League runners-up medal.
- I played in a World Cup.
- I played in top flight leagues in two countries
- I was fired from one club because I criticized the manager in an interview, I signed with another club but never played for it because I refused to join the youth team so that the club could assess my fitness, and my international career came to an end after a spat with the manager.
That’s it.
Please submit your answers to avoidingthedrop@gmail.com by midnight EST next Tuesday.
Good luck!

Got it! Sculptor, you can do this one. I promise.
Dude! You have awesome Lego skills! Can Zeke and I bring our stuff over and build with you?
If I had the Legos to build that I wouldn’t have time for ATD.

Thanks GE! Nice to have one I can play along in. I definitely need to hone my Googling skills for his other (normal) Challenges.
As predicted, I’m taking a beating on this one.
