    My last match was a Stanley Cup game at the Flyers.... shame they wear orange white and black... I also got to see them in training in Berlin, New Jersey. Their netminder went from cult to legendary status overnight. Who was he and what is the story?

    Ron Hextall. He was the first netminder to score a goal.

    Time to look stupid here. It's an extract from an Algerian newspaper telling us about Belkalem coming on as a sub for the Horns ?

    In Persian the tranlation is :

    In Urdu it is:

    Alternatively it is "Rock the Casbah" lyrics as sung by Racid Taha. I have a copy of this version of The Clash song somewhere.

    The original lyrics are:

    Now the king told the boogie men
    You have to let that raga drop
    The oil down the desert way
    Has been shakin' to the top
    The sheik he drove his Cadillac
    He went a-cruisin' down the ville
    The muezzin was a' standing
    On the radiator grille


    Google translate clearly can't cope with colloquial Algerian Arabic, especially when it has been translated from colloquial punk English

    OFH you are in the right place

    NZH you are correct. These words are the Rachid Taha version of the Clash song Rock The Casbah, they perhaps are wrong I got them from a Rachid Taha lyrics website.

    That's the one, Segar Bastard refed the 1878 cup final between Wanderers and the Royal Engineers. He also played for England against Scotland in 1880.
