1. All won Olympic gold medals?

[Ian]

I genuinely don't have a clue for any of these.

[Boydy]

I genuinely don't have a clue for any of these.

Same.

[Giggles]

The first few were so difficult that there was no point in reading on.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They're all cryptic and/or silly but I'd have thought at least some of the picture ones would be very gettable. Whatever, you've got months ahead of you, try harder.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hints:

1 is very hard, almost pointlessly so, but I thought it was funny. It concerns the careers of those players, and the order in which I have written the list matters.
2 is staring you in the face.
3 is about the players in those teams.
4 is pretty easy, I may even have done the same question or something like it before.

5 they are all sets of things and I want you to provide a picture that might represent another from the same set.
