A 17 year old scored for his home town club on his debut in a league cup game. The opposition player/manager was very impressed with the lad and signed him up for Watford later.

The question is: Who were the two players and who were the two teams in that league cup game?

 

[yorkshirehornet]

Was it Kevin Phillips?

Was it Kevin Phillips?

No

 

[NZHorn]

As a wild guess I would say that the players were Ken Furphy and Keith Eddy, and the teams were Barrow and Workington.

That took 5 minutes - less time than it took me to write the question!
Well done BB

Am feeling mean....

The recent resurgence of food banks in UK brought to mind a Scandinavian word that migrated to Britain in the 10th century and mutated into another form, indicating how food banks were paid for back then. In its present day form, the origin of the word has been wrongly attributed to both a name for someone from a particular country and a particular negro slave. What is the word, in both Scandinavian and English?

I am not thinking yet about your question BB, but in my newspaper today was an item about food banks in France. Last weekend we were asked to contribute and in our region a total of 51 tonnes were given, slightly down on last year. Despite our socialist government it is harder to receive help from the state if you are out of work than it is in the UK. There are more and more entitled to get food aid, and with unemployment growing because the economy is still shrinking, the food banks are constantly asking for more help. It is fair to say that if you are poor you will be better looked after in the UK than France.
