    The lead singer was Chris Amoo. So now we know who was on the other end of the lead. But I'm looking for the dog on the other end who was the Crufts Best in Show (Supreme Champion) shown above.

    Viscount Grant - I've never heard of 'The Real Thing' or the Amoo's, no wonder I was struggling

    Correct. Chris Amoo was the handler.

    Samuel Barber's 'Adagio For Strings'..........sadly more know as the them tune for 'Elephant Man' and 'Platoon'.

    And here's why. It really is simple and beautiful.

    Here goes then. One for you all to sleep on.

    What connects a former Barnsley goalie from the 1980s and Horatio Nelson?

    True, but not what I as looking for Pete.

    I'm looking for a closer link. Norfolk is a bloody big place.


    Interesting useless information time:

    Clive Baker actually used to 'babysit' me. Stop laughing Minxy!!
    I will add that Nelson didn't though!!

    Then it can only be they both attended Paston Grammar School at North Walsham as their lives and careers were somewhat divergent after that!

    (With only one eye and one arm Nelson would not have been much use in goal)
