    George Toone, He didn't play for Watford. Elliott Godfrey managed to be a playing substitute even.

    Not what I was looking for. If you need a clue, ask your parents.

    No, sorry. But it is to do with international appearances.

    I think Ak has the right person, but for the wrong reason, as the others were all eligible to represent more than one country.

    Not JB, but Along the right lines. It has to do with international appearances by parents.

    Ok, to put you all out of your misery, all their fathers played international football except Javier Acuña whose mother played for Paraguay’s women’s international team.

    How about this one: Owned by the British Library, what is the oldest known dated printed book in the world?

    Was it the 'Vajra', or so called 'Diamond' Sutra. The British museum have the Chinese version of this.

    It certainly is Cologne. There are older 'books', but this is the oldest 'dated' book. Over to you.

    Rushton Triangular Lodge "This delightful triangular building was designed by Sir Thomas Tresham (father of one of the Gunpowder Plotters) and constructed between 1593 and 1597. It is a testament to Tresham’s Roman Catholicism: the number three, symbolising the Holy Trinity, is apparent everywhere. There are three floors, trefoil windows and three triangular gables on each side.On the entrance front is the inscription ‘Tres Testimonium Dant’ (‘there are three that give witness’), a Biblical quotation from St John’s Gospel referring to the Trinity. It is also a pun on Tresham’s name; his wife called him ‘Good Tres’ in her letters."

    But Frenchie... I found it when I clicked on your image and inspected the source..... so I was cheating.... so you can go again.

    Really best to save and rename the image in future to avoid less honest cheats working it out ;)

    (Mind you.... No one else would do what i did ... erm.. .would they? )

    OK, tut, tut.

    Who is the only Watford player in a peace time game to score a hat trick and still be on the losing side?
