What famous owner lay dying after a Derby, and was told his horse had won but it had, in fact, just got beaten by a head? He died on Sunday, the very next day. Clue: It was the first time a photo-finish camera was used for the Derby; needed for the first three past the post (head and a head).
Who sent the following telegram to a Derby winner's connections before actually winning the race? "BON APPETIT MY LOVE TO ALL"
OK, Cyc. I'll put you out of your misery.... The answer is....William Crawlfast, Royal Engineer- during the Dunkirk evacuation!
That question was put to Leslie Welch (famous Memory Man) in my local pub in the early seventies. Welch had offered a free pint to any one who could catch him out on sport. No-one caught him out all night - except for a friend of mine who put that question as a joke. The room erupted- and Welch bought my mate a pint for his cheek.
stick you are correct ibra has six-the answer i was looking for was hernan crespo with five but it make sense to ask what player has scored 6 goals going forward!
