Come on then make with the answers already.
 
You got me, I dozed off halfway through the first question!:p
 
John Nicholson
2 future managers - Joe Mercer (1953) and John Harris (1955) did it
Because Reg Freeman died suddenly
 
That's true but the question is when the Lane stopped being Yorkshires HQ. I think that was 1899.

The Architect is Archibald Leitch though it was1900 not 1896 I think.

The kit from the Batman film was used in 1990-1 and 1991-2.

Ahh, miss read the question, schoolboy error. I think it was a bit earlier than what you said, 1893 sticks in my head for some reason.
 
The Alan Brown question...he was asked if his iron lung had broken down.

No - just likes a bit of banter that the delicate flowers on here can’t take.

I thought the Adam Faith program (Budgie) was early 70's, rather than 60's?

Unless it was a different show you meant? (he was a petty crook in London who supported Fulham).
