    Good point - but Ricky Villa played with him there at the same time. Must be earlier...

    He endeared himself to his club fans by scoring the winning goal in a derby match on his debut. When he played in the World Cup he did not speak the language of the rest of his team.

    Clues coming in quick and fast here. Ironically his first game at the World Cup was against England.

    Don't know where this knowledge came from but I think it was George Robledo of Newcastle United who played for Chile in the World Cup perhaps in the 1950s.

    <applause> All yours Theo. He was born in Chile with a Chilean father and an English mother. He then moved to Yorkshire at the age of 5, and later played for Barnsley and then Newcastle - he was then picked for the Chilean national team for the 1950 World Cup, despite not being able to speak Spanish. His debut was their first group game against England. He formed an attacking partnership with Jackie Milburn at Newcastle. Over to you.

    Chocolate bars?

    Known in UK as Marathon until around 1990, the name changed to Snickers when owners Mars decided to align the UK name with the worldwide brand name.

    I could be wrong about this, but as a trade-off a few years later, Mars changed what was Raider in most of the world to Twix, as in the UK. I imagine that there are differences in countries where x isn't part of the alphabet.

    Cheers theo.

    A Communist leader ordered the (failed) assassination of an 'ordinary' US citizen - ordinary in that, although famous, the citizen had neither military nor government connection. Which leader and which citizen?
