    Near enough - they're the only British recording artists to have had a hit record in each of 6 consecutive decades.

    Over to you.

    Yes. A reason why...
    When GT was thinking of buying him, he set up a small patch of grass and asked IB to kickj the ball to it - about 40 ? yards. It landed in the patch. GT thought - might be a fluke, so he asked him to do it again. Same result. Hmmmm. So he moved the kicking point back 10 yards. Same result. He signed him ! £12000 from Notts county. But of course IB had so many qualities ,like leadership.
    It still makes me cross to remember that total muppet Jeff Poerll criticising IB for glorious precise 40-50 yard passes as Watfords horrible long-ball style , and then eulogising over Hoddle's fancy dan lobs over the top into a random space.
    Over to you.

    Haven't seen her 'in action' for a while, but I wouldn't call her petulant.
    But yes - 85+ years in the industry and still going strong apparently. A real looker back in the day too.

    Over to you.

    My first trip away was to this ground. Which one was it?

    It is found in a pleasant setting with plenty of trees visible around its perimeter. On one side is the North Stand. This was built in 1932 and this covered stand runs the full length of the pitch. It has a central section of seating with covered terracing to either side. There is a Players Tunnel located right in its centre with the team dugouts located out front to either side. Behind the stand there is quite a large office block that overshadows it.

    Opposite is the South Stand. Although opened in 1929 it looks quite tidy and if you did not know, you probably wouldn’t realise that it was that old. This covered seated stand runs around half the length of the pitch and sits astride the halfway line. It does have some supporting pillars running across its middle, which could affect your view towards the back of the stand. There are portions of open terrace located on either side of this stand.

    At one end is the East Bank covered terrace. This stand has a classic looking barrel-shaped roof and has a number of supporting pillars running across the front of it.

    Opposite is the High Street End. Until 2013 this area was unused for spectators having just a narrow path and some advertising hoardings. However to help the Club comply with League rules stipulating the number of seats that a ground must have, then a small prefabricated covered area was erected on one side of this end (towards the Main Stand). Called the Community Stand, it comprises just four rows of seats and only runs from the corner flag to the goal area. It has a total seating capacity of 250. On the other side of this end is a two storey green portakabin that serves as a Police Control Box, otherwise, this end is unused for spectators. The ground benefits from an impressive set of floodlights.

    How might this player be significant for a Watford team member?
