Ah! But who is the boy to the immediate right of Reg?

Alternatively, why did Manchester United change their name at the start of the 2013-14 season?

Judging by his ears Danny Blanchflower!

I don't think Danny was held back 21 years at school. That would have been cruel.

I think it is Keith Francis

I think it is Keith Francis

Not the ex Minister of Education under Mrs Thatcher?

No. It is to do with UEFA.

Is it as simple as that they were referred to as FC Manchester United instead of Manchester United FC when the draw for the Champions League was made?

No. It only became an issue in 2013.

Manchester 1962 of Gibraltar.... aka the Red Devils, aka Manchester United FC

That's it Fez. UEFA didn't want the complication of Manchester Untited v Manchester United so the Gibraltarian version changed their name to Manchester 1962.

Where, outside of a cave, would you find a stalactite?

Where, outside of a cave, would you find a stalactite?

In some closed mines (as opposed to open cast) or under some bridges.

 

[Hornet-Fez]

Not what I'm looking for, Cologne, possibly down to poor phrasing of the question but I didn't want to give too much away...
