    O.K. Which musician am I describing, he was born in Manor House. His name was found in the autograph books of both the Kray twins. His first public appearance was playing the artfull dodger in a theatre production of Oliver Twist. He chased after Rod Stewart's wife for years - and Ozzy Osbourne thought he was the best in the World at what he did. Who was he ?

    Ah - Twizzle, the original Inspector Gadget. ;)

    Couldn't remember any songs from it though - a quick cheat's visit to Wikipedia tells me that an MP did indeed write some - Leslie Solley. Never heard of him either...

    I'm a bit uncertain about the time, but is that when the Football League match(es) started?
