    My ex-wife used to breed Belgian Shepherd Dogs in the 80s. I'd heard of a drift and parcel of sheep so my hunch was right...

    Try this one:

    A letter written by Alfred Russell Wallace in 1858 led to which groundbreaking publication the following year?...

    The Origin of Species. Darwin realised that Russell Wallace was close to his own theory of evolution and wantedto be the first to publish.

    Pegasus - The Brainchild of Professor Harold Thompson, later the Chairman of the FA. The team started in 1948 and amongst it's coaches over the years were Vic Buckingham, Joe Mercer, Malcolm Allison and Arthur Rowe. They played in the style of the Spurs team of the 50s as Bill Nicholson had coached at Cambridge University in the 40s.

    They won the Amateur Cup in 1951 beating Bishop Auckland and in 1953 beat Harwich & Parkeston 6-0 in front of 100,000 at Wembley...
