Fikru Teferra from Ethiopia was the scorer of the first goal in the Indian super league. Is that the one ?

My question...If our Ak. gets his wish and Iceland qualify for the World Cup finals in 4 years time, then they will be the smallest country (by population) ever to do so. Which country currently holds this record ?

Beat me to it - one of the finest Rugby players ever, that try is the second one on this clip. I just loved the way he bulldozed Campese back over the line to score it...

What was the Scottish Centaur?

I was thinking along the lines of the centaurs in the forest at Hogwarts!

No and no...

This one 'died' in 1943.

 

[colognehornet]

I think it was a ship. Built in Scotland - it became a hospital ship which was sunk in 1943.

Spot on cologne. Scottish built, AHS Centaur was en route from Sydney to Port Moresby with 330 medical staff on board - it was torpedoed & sunk near Brisbane with around 270 deaths. The survivors spent nearly two days in shark-infested waters - poor sods must have been crapping themselves.
