Is this something to do with Dundee in the European Cup against Cologne?
It certainly is - and Cologne is the answer
Dundee knocked Cologne out over two legs in the 62/63 European Cup - with Bert Slater in goal for them. The first leg finished an amazing 8-1 in Dundee's favour - Dundee's second goal came from a miskick which sent the ball one way and a divot of turf the other. The Cologne keeper chose to save the divot of turf. <laugh>

Cologne won the second leg 4-0 in what was a pretty hostile environment for the Dundee players - so hostile that, at the end, the players had to be protected by British soldiers as they tried to get off the pitch.

Interesting story about it here, well worth reading - https://dundeefc.co.uk/club/history/our-triumphs/196263-european-cup-run/

Over to you.

This one should not cause too much head scratching. Who was the first male to win both the 800m and 1500m at the same Olympic games?
 
Yes that is it!!

I saw them on BBC Breakfast the other day and switched on when Dan asked: what does the UK need to do to win the ESC?
To which one of them replied; Write better songs!

Didn't think it was a possibility that they'd do that for us - will put everyone else in a quandary: vote for an excellent song (it will be, as much as I don't like ABBA's music, it cannot be said that they do not write popular, catchy tunes) or not vote for the UK. Cognitive Dissonance 101, Europe.<laugh>

Okay, gimme gimme gimme a minute... :emoticon-0145-shake
 
Meg Ryan won widespread acclaim for her role as Sally in When Harry Met Sally... but who was the part originally written for? And which role did she turn down that cemented Julia Roberts star status?
Two part question, the name of the Actress and the film.
