On my way to the match. Will think of something later.

Whose eyes were bluer than robin's eggs?

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.

And there I was thinking about the blue eyes of Inspector Morse.

Cheers Fez.

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

 

[Bolton's Boots]

The link dates back to 1969

An end of season football tour.

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Players from these clubs were in a tour to TAHITI, NEW ZEALAND, SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, AND THAILAND

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.

Keith Eddy,
Chris Gedney (Alvechurch)
John Charles (Leytonstone)
Jim Shippey (Oxford City)

Keith Eddy,
Chris Gedney (Alvechurch)
John Charles (Leytonstone)
Jim Shippey (Oxford City)

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.
