Damn. I had Tom O'Connor for number 9, Dame Judi Dench and Peter Beardsley for number 2 and thrush for number 8.

The rest were piss easy.

Didn't Graeme Souness try and sign Vera Lynn when he was at Southampton?

Dave said...

Story of my life.

Vicus Scurra said...

Very close, Geoff, bad luck.
Richard. No. You must be thinking of Shirley Bassey. Vera Lynn is under contract to Sheffield Wednesday.
Dave. You tried.
Tom. Yes, as I say above.
ILTV. The quizmaster's decision is final.
