Ed McCullagh

From Countdown
Revision as of 00:33, 25 May 2011 by JohnnyCanuck (talk | contribs) (markup)

Edward McCullagh was an octochamp and finalist in Series 64. He was a customer service rep from Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland.

McCullagh first appeared on Countdown on 2 February 2011, and beat Dave Dyer in a fairly close and high-scoring debut episode, with both players finding the nine-letter word BETTERING. McCullagh followed this up with seven more victories, including a near-perfect performance against Judy Baynes. Here, he achieved maximum points in all of the first 14 rounds, but was unlucky enough to receive a conundrum which no one in the studio was able to solve (MEGALITRE). He's also notable for having kept three of his opponents to scores under 30.
