:coolclick: mate - of the ones you answered - only got 1 wrong (Berwick)

fair play on that geekalicious knowledge. 8) its a bid too anchient for me. i'm only a pup. i knew a few. everyone knows about jersey joe walcot reffing the ali liston fight. i got a pic of it on my wall.

WAS IT GERRIE COETZEE?

Number 9 is Neville Meade I think.

And 3 is Chic Calderwood

Neville Mead, Chic Calderwood and Gerrie Coetzee are all correct :) Clicks all round ;)

Only knew a few, but hats off to LBSCFC for his answers.

Somebody else gave me the quiz and I didn't know half of them myself - So fair play to LB ;)

cheers for the compliments. cheques are in the post :)
