Paul Shaddick therefore wins the signed Luke Myring Shirt! Well done Paul, and thanks to all the writers and voters.
And who identified the most writers fom the list? (article writers had the identification of their own stories discounted!). This was tough, but an honourable mention to Oddshapedballs, who identified Miss NorthamptonSaiants, Shaddo and RedSaint, but the winner was Ian Spokes, who correctly indentified St Rich, Smurf, Miss NorthamptonSaints, Howlin and Shaddo. Well done Ian!
