    Which Watford player scored in every appearance he made for the club? He shares his name with a former director.

    He was born in 1935 in Edinburgh. I have to admit, the details are quite sketchy on this, and I don’t fully understand them, but from what I can currently figure out, it seems it might be a fun fact.

    There's a Scot called James Reid who played one game for us in 1956 - and scored one goal?

    Don't know anything else about him though.

    I’ve done more digging and it is correct. One website said he was loaned between June and July 1956, but that is incorrect.

    A Christmas Day scorer!

    That is him. But he was John Reid. Same as our director in the 70s.

    Scored on Christmas Day. Only played one match for us - 25th December 1956. Scored. But refused to play on Boxing Day, preferring to spend his time with his young bride. McBain dropped him and he never played for us again. So his scoring strike rate was 100%!
    For the record, there was another player who played only one league match and scored, but he also played for us once in the FA Cup, taking his strike rate to 50%! That was Jimmy Broad.

    Over to you.

    I'm not sure what Leonard de Caprio thingy is, but I doubt it.
    This is a bit of research which probably pleased, but didn't surprise, feminists.

    Female snakes have two clitorises thus confirming that they probably enjoy a bunk up ?

    In the vague chance that my answer was correct <doh> Can somebody else set the next question because I'm up early in the morning and off to Berlin and won't have internet access until tomorrow night.

    Close enough. Previous research into the genitalia of snakes had concentrated on the male of the species, many of which had at least two penises - researchers last year reported their surprise that, when they studied female snakes, they found that the nine types they looked at all had a clitoris. The research paper included pictures, but common decency stops me from posting them here...;)

    Over to whoever...

    Finally managed to get online again. Nobody else has set a question and so here goes. The Florists became one of a small selection of newly promoted teams to win a major league top tier title in the 80s (Ipswich did the same in the 60s). Which was the last European team (in any of the top European Leagues) to achieve this ?
