the multiple posting plague appears to be universal from sometime yesterday afternoon - system asks if you want to leave the page when you attempt to post - the post then appears sometime later
Yeah. Sorry, either the site is playing up or my internet is cos it's not showing new posts!
Oddly - given their current status in football - East Fife have two former players who can both lay claim to an unwanted title, achieved just four years apart. Who were they and what are they famed for? (Apart from the fact that they both played against my father....
)
)
'Radix malorum est cupiditas' was I think the original Latin tag and suggested greed or cupidity was the root of all evil. The money saying must have been coined later.
Could well be down to the preferred English translation used in the King James Bible in 1611. I thought that the original quotation was written in Koine Greek rather than Latin.
I'm sure you're right about Greek but I had it in my head that they too had meant the love of money rather than money itself.

I think we may need some help with this one BB. I've found an Allan Brown (ex East Fife) who managed to break a leg while scoring a winning goal (unwanted fame ?). Also Henry Morris (whilst still at East Fife) became the first British player to score in a World Cup match. Other than these stabs in the dark I'm floundering.
Henry Morris was certainly one of the two - and his unwanted handle came after that match, in spite of him scoring a hat trick in it.
I guess the clue is in the 'unwanted title' so I'll go for 'Miss Scotland 1969'
A tad unfair - she was quite tasty.

Henry Morris scored a hat trick but was never picked for Scotland again. Also Charlie Fleming scored 2 on his only game for Scotland - also never to be picked again. Am I getting close ?
Yup - both one-cap-wonders. Odd enough that they both played for East Fife, but both earned their only cap against Northern Ireland. Over to you...
There are only 2 football clubs in Europe who have won league championships in 2 countries ie. in their own country and abroad. One of them is Rapid Vienna (winners of the German league in 1941), which is the other club ?
