    Except that he appeared 242 times for Watford (219 in the league) and scored 24 goals (22 in the league). Apart from that - perfect.

    Which successful Welsh farmer & poet walked away from his life/family for 25 years before returning, having become successful overseas and thought to be the inspiration behind a famous song?

    When he walked away he went to Australia - and carried on walking when he got there.

    The Jolly Swagman of Waltzing Matilda fame, yes - that's who it's thought by many was modelled on him. But who was he?

    It is - Joseph Jenkins. An interesting character - what set him apart from other swaggies was his literacy skills, almost unheard of in those days. Every day of his 25 years as a swagman, he wrote a diary outlining his experiences - and wrote it in his second language , English.

    Over to you.

    Is it a new name for what Richarlison was up to? From showboating, but rubbing dirt in their faces?

    Is it Galtier’s sarcastic suggestion to avoid air travel? To use land yachts or ‘dirtboats’ instead?
