Who the hell am I ?

Well done asdral, beat me to revealing the answer in the spoiler.

Solerina, thats the whole point really, if you dont know the answer, use google and your detective skills to find it out.

I try not to give away any obvious clues, so it does need some work to solve them.

by Guest Sun 06 Mar 2011, 11:05 pm

I was born in Syracuse, my mother was a special education teacher, and my father, an electrical engineer. I am now 48 yrs old.

My first brush with stardom was a risky business, a bit of a gamble as I wasn't particularly well known in my early days. But after a 14 year career relationship descended into bickering over profits, the breakup was paramount.

An episode of South Park parodied an "incident" that took place when I "jumped the shark" on the Oprah show.

Andy Murray.

by Guest Tue 08 Mar 2011, 10:53 am

Ah, you all went for the obvious, but one of you is closer.

There is only really one clue that would put you (and Google) on the right track, but once you on it the other info would help give the answer.

Spoiler tonight. Smile

by Guest Tue 08 Mar 2011, 11:03 am

Jamie Murray

by Adam D Tue 08 Mar 2011, 11:08 am

Jamie Murray has won a slam (mixed doubles at Wimbledon) which is why I didnt go for him.

Annabel Croft, Virginia Wade?

Elena Baltacha?

Well, the spoiler is up, but the clue is in the shirt if you want to pursue the answer.... censored

by Fernando Tue 08 Mar 2011, 10:07 pm

It has been said that I was seen wearing a Paraguayan shirt at the world cup a few years ago

so who ever it is, is from Paraguay so that limits people for a start

its not victor pecci cos he has 12 titles

del los rios maybe?

by Guest Wed 09 Mar 2011, 8:55 pm

It could have been victor "I have amassed over 10 titles to my name" but does he fit the rest of the clues ?

Who is this "del los rios" ? laughing

by Guest Thu 10 Mar 2011, 2:28 pm

If anybody's still perplexed, then this should help clear it up.

But I thin k Fernando has already guessed it right.

by Guest Thu 10 Mar 2011, 9:08 pm

I am loud mouthed and aggressive.

the bobboy moore clue was a dead giveaway, without that it would have been very hard, for me anyway.

That link wasn't at all helpful, had to look through all the list to make sure it was him. mad
