    Bob Dylan's?

    It's a line from the Joan Baez song Diamonds & Rust - I think they were 'an item' at the time of its release.

    Too easy. Yes, Joan Baez wrote Diamonds and Rust about Bob Dylan.
    I'm more familiar with the Judas Priest version, which she loves apparently, but the original is beautiful.
    All yours.

    They had split up for ten years by then (hearing a voice I know, from a couple of light years ago...). She was on her way to divorce from Vietnam was protester and journalist David Harris at that time I think, but the song is indeed about Bob Dylan.

    Cheers Fez.

    A football question - and a slightly obscure one. Who and what links Watford FC with Alvechurch FC, Leytonstone FC and Oxford City?,

    That's the what - now you just need the who.

    The Watford one should be easy - he's the only one who didn't go on the club's mini tour to Malta at the same time.

    That's them. Have to admit to being surprised that 3 non-league players were included in an FA touring squad. There were none in involved in the FA tour of Australia two years later - when I watched Keith Eddy help demolish Queensland 6-0 at Brisbane's Lang Park, playing alongside our future manager Mike Keen.

    Over to you.
