However, Lyn decided to take a different approach that left fans scratching their heads. He guessed at "Charlton Athletic". The answer was of course incorrect as was signaled on the show. This lead to fans flocking to social media to discuss the totally wrong guess. One posted: "Legend haha, that has to be one of the worst guesses ever.".
