    Having looked him up it seems you're right Roller, I didn't remember him going back to Chelsea.

    I was talking to a Chelsea fan about this and we couldn't come up with anyone.

    Assuming Wicks was the last player we have sold directly to Chelsea before Remy, who was the first actor to refuse an oscar?

    Far more imnportant than turning down an oscar!

    I give you Danny Blanchflower. The man who refused to be on "This is your life".

    Not onbly a great player but also a great man.

    I thought it was George C. Scott for Patton. They were close together, so I may have this one wrong.

    George C Scott is correct in 1970, Brando was 3 years later.

    You are correct Beth, shame on Equatorial Guinea for false advertising.

    Just guessing as Colombia is on the northern coast of South America, but it must go far enough south...

    Wasn't Cobi the toned down Picasso-esque mascot of the Barcelona Olympics?, a dog with it's nose on the side of it's face? So I'm guessing the other two are also Olympic mascots, but no idea which ones.

    What is scary is that this has lodged in my memory, but I cannot remember the 2012 Olympics mascot name, or even what it looked like.

    YUP....A Cubist Catalonian sheep dog, Amik was a Canadian Beaver Montreal 1976, Waldi a Dachshund from Munich
    Interestingly the Munich marathon course was in the shape of Waldi...sort of!!!!
    Wenlock was the London Olympic mascot (Mandeville the paralympic mascot)
    Much Wenlock, Shropshire was where Baron Cobertain got the idea for the modern Olympics
    The two mascot were suppose to represent drops of steel, formed during the construction of the stadium....but to me they looked a little like male genitalia
