Sheer luck - I don't know of too many actors named George. Which famous player was born precisely half-way between two consecutive Watford 1-1 away draws?
Watford's two goals in those games were scored by the same player - a recent signing scoring his third and fourth goals in five matches.
Signed from Ipswich, he later transferred to Rotherham. Sadly now deceased, he died in 1997 at the young age of 48 in USA.
That was the goalscorer - now who was the famous player born midway between his two goals? And there is another Watford connection.
No - it was not long after the start of the season. The player I'm after never played for Watford - he was born there, next to the stadium.
In Edinburgh. The Foot-Ball Club of Edinburgh was founded in 1824 - and a set of rules was found written on the back of the club's budget statement for 1833 - thought to be the earliest written rules of football.
As usual, you have found a better answer than the one I was expecting ! Bah ! I'll give it to you. My answer was 'The Cambridge rules' originally believed to be1848, but then an earlier version dated 1838 was , I thought, the earliest version.
Cheers JTB Who or what returned to normal this year after spending the previous six months literally spouting gibberish?
