Which is the only current French Ligue 1 club to have appointed women as head coaches. Which club is it, and what is the link of one of these ladies to Watford.

 

[colognehornet]

Clermont FC have had two female head coaches. The fist of these was Helene Costa who was once head of the Watford scouting dep.

All correct cologne. Clermont are the smallest club in Ligue 1, yet seem to manage without the drama associated with some of the larger ones.

It is indeed Frenchie - whilst director of Birmingham City she sold her future hubby for 400,000 notes to Stoke City (with his cooperation I hasten to add). Over to you.

Born in Glasgow, died in Blackpool, he played for Partick, Darwen and Blackburn Rovers. He is believed to hold a unique record. Who is he, and what is his record?

Fergus Suter? His character featured in the Netflix production 'The English Game'.
His unique record could be either he was the first professional footballer, or that he won three successive FA Cup winners medals?

Or maybe that he taught the English how to play football properly...

Yes. With climate change apparently causing Alpine glaciers to melt, the body of a Swiss climber who had been missing since 1986 was discovered last month - the first sign being a hiking boot with red laces sticking up out the ice.

Over to you.
