They each suffer from Celtic hand - a disease that causes one or more fingers to become permanently bent?
Thatcher had it too, which is probably why she didn't like Celts...
A football question:
In the pre-EPL days, a First Division club signed an outside left who went on to have a long career as a goalkeeper. Who was he?
Signed as a 17 year-old from a Scottish amateur side, he made his debut for his new club's first team three years later - against England.
Played 25 matches in the First Division before dropping down two divisions - where he played against Watford quite a few times. Enjoyed banter with opposition fans and was a popular character with the Rookery fans.

Good guess but no - he played over 100 games for Hibs and Airdrie as a goalkeeper before moving south. But you have the right time period.
Arsenal were the 1st division team who signed this guy as a left winger

He transferred from Southend to Hull - where he played for 8 seasons, during which time he achieved fame by becoming the first goalkeeper to concede a goal, the first to save a goal, the first to take a penalty and the first to miss a penalty in a competitive penalty shootout,
That's him - it always amazed me how he could concentrate in goal and exchange banter with opposition fans - and I'm sure it wasn't just us who joked with him.
All those firsts came in the Watney Cup semi-final in 1970 when Man United knocked Hull out.
Over to you.
