    On 21st November 1970, Watford played away to Orient in a Div 2 fixture and drew 1-1. What was 'special' about that match?

    Ah-ha - I was there and remember it well and why it was special - but I'll let others have a go!

    Ok, it was the first match not to feature Duncan Welbourne after a record 280 consecutive appearances. Gave others a chance as I looked it up <whistle>

    Ok, going back to the Luther Blissett question, what was special about his first goal for England against Luxembourg?

    First goal by a black player for England? If there's a more pc, without being pathetically patronising, way of saying that please tell me. Afro-Caribbean I suppose.

    Judging by the footage, is it the first time a white player passed to a black player? Oh no, that wasn't till his third...

    It's not "pathetically patronising" it is being sensitive and I think the best option is your first. <ok>

    Well it's all a bit ridiculous these days. I'm glad you think my first option was the better one, really. No idea if my answer was correct though.

    No researching please I think with a little bit of thought you'll get this... and I'll be back on-line around 6.00pm unless someone gets it pdq!!

    The Grand Saxon School of Arts & Crafts and the Grand Saxon School for Fine Art merged in the early 20C to become known as what and why was it's first director unable to take up his post for four years?

    Royal College of Art. The first director was prevented from taking up his post by WWI.

    If these are Saschen schools were they Bauhaus? I have no thought for the director.
