    Cheers, Frenchie...that sounds quite possible. Didn't think I was making it up!

    THanks, BB. <ok>

    I didn't know that.
    This one's for theo. ;)
    A former Watford manager grew up in the same small town as which well-known father of a world boxing champion?

    Cheers Andy. I can only think the 'Sorry I haven't a clue' invitations...introducing Mr Box and his amusing but disaffected son, Card-Bored, and his very hard cousin, Metal....not to mention the surprise appearance of his uncle, Jack-Inner!

    If I've read the question correctly and you're after the father of the boxer, then I'll say Pat McGuigan, father of Barry. If you also have to get the WFC manager, the only Irish one I can think of is Rodgers.

    The WFC manager lived with the father's sister when he was a youth player.

    Their names are from the same country - but they have very different accents.

    The boxer fights under a flag from the United Kingdom and he is probably the most successful British boxer ever, in terms of his record.

    OK. Our first recent Italian manager was Gianfranco Zola. The boxer with the best boxing record was Joe Calzaghe (46 fights, 46 wins, 32 by KO). Joe was trained by his dad, Enzo. The Calzaghes and Zola go way back. They are from the same Italian town. As a youth player Gianfranco lodged with Enzo's sister. They have stayed friends for decades.

    Who came with Eric Steele from Brighton at the same time?

    Cheers Andy. A musical one - which rock singer's earliest memory was of a midnight escape across snow and ice from East Prussia ?

    That one didn't take long - all yours Yorkie. John Kay was born as Joachim Fritz Krauledat in Tilsit, East Prussia (what is now in Kaliningrad Oblast, in Russia). As a baby he was taken first to Germany and then later to Canada, where he grew up. Saw Steppenwolf on 4 occasions.
