Ok, it’s the international break and thus less stuff around the usual but we aim in entertain as well as inform so here’s an odd facts which amused us when we picked it up.

I reckon we’ve had a kot of Bs over the years:. Just from the 60s, without trynig, there’s Billy Bonds, Peter Bennett, Trevor Brooking, Clyde Best, and – since you got away with Xande Silva – Bobby Moore😊
Xande Silva? surname begins with S
Xande Silva over Tomas Soucek is an absolute curveball
Good stuff😊
