Are you suggesting that until leaner times are over, Mr Wenger should consider such process? (with apologies)
No need for that - after today's result he has probably shed enough tears to render aestivating needless. Or, like his team, almost but not quite pointless.
Good try. Along the right lines, but that's 2 rather than 4, and more to do with batting than battering.
Much as I would like to say "Yes, every member of the Watford Chamber of Commerce took on the entire Soviet Union population in a table tennis round robin..." Sorry, no. A bit more physical than ping pong.
I imagine it could be boxing - but both the 'four' and the 'fraternal' are confusing me. Boxing brothers or father & son boxers on the same bill? The only ones I can think of are Jack & Brian London, but Brian would have been a bit young in 1949.
4 boxing brothers on the same bill ? Allan Buxton, together with Joe, Laurie and Alex, all having won - apparently unique in boxing history. Proves the value of reading the Wobby sometimes !
That's the one, cologne. http://www.ourwatfordhistory.org.uk/content/new-contributions/an-interview-with-allan-buxton
Did they form the US Olympic Athletic Team of 1896 and include the first Modern Olympic champion, James Connolly?
I think you're close enough Andy. The first Modern Olympic Champion was James Connolly in the Triple Jump on the first day of competition (this was then two hops and a jump) - at that time there were no flags or national anthems and he was listed as representing the Suffolk Athletic Club of Boston - apparently this was because Harvard University (where he was a student) refused to give him time off or to sponsor him whereas his local athletic club did. So the Suffolk Athletic Club could actually claim the first olympic gold (actually it was silver for first place then) as their own. Over to you.
Very kind, cologne. I wasn't 100% there - I didn't know he was officially representing the club rather than his country. Apparently he, and many others, were told by Harvard - drop your courses and leave the university if you do compete. They did. Amazing conviction. OK. Which three players (in order) touched the ball before Loach at the time of Mr Bannister's vision?
