Jeffrey Archer and Graham Gooch. Is there a play with words? The same day Jeffery Archer was in court and Graham Gooch was caught in a cricket game.
If Ak is right on the people, I'd say that the answer is Lord(')s. Gooch made his best Test score of 333 at Lord's, and Archer has a seat in the House of Lords.
Or..... The first Captain of the Engand womens team was Betty Archdale - So, the Arch is the connection ?
While we're waiting for Theo. Are any of you interested in an inter club quiz against the Hoops ? As you know Q.P.R. also have a pub quiz thread and a couple of them are open to the idea (The 2 that know about it anyway) - so it could be good for a laugh. Easy to organize on an extra thread if anyone is interested.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
The missing answer is Keith Fletcher...fletchers made the arrows for archers to use.

Good one Theo - you just have to join cologne's team after that one...
I guess that means it's down to you again....
Grand Fenwick was a fictional country and Pimlico was independent of the UK in the film "passport to Pimlico".
Hmmm...
The Duchy of Grand Fenwick was an imaginery country in the book/film The Mouse that Roared, in which there was a character called Will Buckley;
Passport to Pimlico was a film in which there was a character called Basset.
So is the common link former Watford personnel?
Good enough, BB. Pimlico took on the British government, declaring itself independent; Grand Fenwick took on the US government, invading New York with a mediaeval army of archers etc?
Both lovely, amusing films with 'The Mouse that Roared' hinting at a slightly more serious undertone criticising US foreign/nuclear policy.
