Well done Zag, the answer is Ron 'Early Doors' Atkinson...

The son was Dalian Atkinson who played under him at Aston Villa. The then Chief Executive, Karren Brady asked if they were related...here they are celebrating a league cup win... You can see the resemblance

OK another of SPUK link style questions

Clue based question for you again. 5 questions give you clues to the actual answer I want.

Your 5 clues are:

1. Who was the youngest driver to finish on the overall podium at Le Mans?

2. Who is the longest serving Queen?

3. Which double Italian World Cup winner was known as il Balilla?

4. In 1885 whose patent is considered the birth of the Motor Car?

5. Andy Cole had the same strike partner at 2 consecutive Premier clubs, who was his partner?

So my question is what is the connection between the five clues ?

Based on the above and your previous question, I think the answer is Stadiums as there is a Dwight Yorke Stadium in Tobago and the Olympic Park is named after Queen Elizabeth. I've no idea of the others though unless I google.

You got the same three answers as me. Not sure of the other two answers. I had not worked out a comnection.

Yorke and Cole played together at Blackburn and Manchester United

Correct they all have sports stadiums named after them

1. Giuseppe Meazza - Stadio Giuseppe Meazza otherwise known as the San Siro
2. Elizabeth II - Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
3. Ricardo Rodriguez - Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez home of the Mexican GP
4. Carl Benz - Carl-Benz-Stadio Mannhiem
5. Dwight Yorke - Dwight Yorke Stadium Tobago

So over to you

Think you might be onto something there Dave.

Not Villa, Brum, Forest, Notts County, Walsall, errrrrr.

Hang on, gotta be Coventry as they're the only team I can recall being in the Prem (albeit shortly) and going through the divisions.
