The influence that the continent has had on our shores has been astounding, from Peter Ndlovu - the first African player to play in the Premier League - right through to some of the modern-day greats. That’s why the total of 54 answers isn’t as intimidating as it first looks. T

The majority of players have played Premier League football, while there’s also plenty of repeat names – meaning you only actually have to name 21 players, all in all.

Now, you have 10 minutes to guess the top three African Players of the Year from 2004 to 2023 – there are 54 players to name, thanks to COVID stopping proceedings in 2020, with the award only coming back in 2022.
