How to approach it
The workable method is to move sport by sport instead of chasing a single lucky memory. Pick one of the four careers, walk through its seasons in order, and for each stop recall two or three squad members who were never the headline: the reserve who filled in for a month, the veteran signed for depth, the youngster given a handful of minutes. Write those names down as they come, then repeat the sweep for the other three careers, because the overlap between a football dressing room and an American one is almost nil and each sport needs its own pass. Only after that list feels exhausted should you check the marginal cases, such as short loans, mid-season trades and tournament squads, where a connection of a few weeks still counts.
Get a hint
Start with the biggest squads you can recall from the last two decades and work backwards: club seasons, franchise rosters and national-team camps all supply names.
A little more
Narrow by role rather than fame: back-up goalkeepers, rotational bigs, special-teams specialists and one-cap internationals are the richest vein, because they shared a dressing room without ever being the story.
One step further
Aim for the edges of a roster, such as a single season, a short loan, a practice-squad promotion or a late substitute appearance, since those bit-part connections are the ones most people never think to say.

Why these answers count
Scoring here follows obscurity, not fame. The single hundred-point return came from a name almost nobody outside one special-teams unit would reach for: Nate Ebner, a rugby convert who spent years covering kicks alongside a certain quarterback. Everything in the long middle of the table sits at eighty-five, and that band is enormous, with A. Q. Shipley, Aaron Dobson, Adalius Thomas, Akiem Hicks and Alan Branch all landing there; the common thread is that each was a genuine squad member rather than a marquee name. The sixty-point band is where the obvious names end up, the stars whose link to one of the four is common knowledge and therefore cheap. That gradient is deliberate. A puzzle of this shape has thousands of legitimate answers, so the only way to reward skill is to pay for recall depth. Anyone can name a fellow icon; the points go to the player who remembers the third-string guard, the loanee with four appearances or the special-teamer whose career lasted two seasons.
