Question of the day

[midlifecrisis]

I'd say that they all scored hat tricks for England at Wembley but not sure who's missing.

 

[GeoffCapes]

Correct. So who's missing?

 

[midlifecrisis]

There's a big gap between Hurst and McDonald and McDonald and Lineker but then again England weren't very good in the 70's. They failed to qualify in two world cups.

 

[spkennyuk]

Correct. So who's missing?

Wasn't Defoe the first at the new Wembley and the rest were at the old Wembley.

There was someone in the 80's Blissert or Blisset something like that but i can't quite remember.

Bryan Robson got 3 (ex Boro Manager)
Not sure if it was at wembley though

Luther Blissett is the missing one! He now races in the Alfa Championship by the way.

Over to you.

Good question slight motoring link there as well.

 

[GeoffCapes]

Wasn't Leslie King the name of the U.S. President that took them into Vietnam?
His name that everyone knows him as is.......
Ffs! Can't remember. Was mentioned in a Discovery Channel documentary on the war!
Arghhhh only watched it on Wednesday!

 

[BennyD]

After Kennedy got topped it was Linden B Johnson that succeeded him and took the U.S. into Vietnam, but I wasn't aware he had an alias.

 

[2b1ask1]

My bad, knew he had a girly name....

 

[daverichardson]

Right lines but wrong name

 

[midlifecrisis]

If you're after a president with a car related name then it must be Gerald Ford. He was the only unelected president. Spiro Anew resigned for some reason, then tricky Dicky resigned over Watergate. Hey presto, he's president. Succeeded by Jimmy Carter, who's still alive, I think.

 

[daverichardson]

Don't think I mentioned a car related name?
Nevertheless you are right well done
Born and christened Leslie King (I believe he was a male model at some point)
Changed his name to Gerald Ford (don't know why!)
I am off to the pub shortly so over to you MLC
