American Presidents and last night's match

[1973Blade]

I don't know if it was the dull match I was watching, but my mind wandered to the number of players on both sides (including on the bench) who have the same surname as an American President. Surely five is a record? (Marvin 'Lyndon' Johnson, Connor 'George' Washington, Che 'John' Adams, Connal 'Harry' Tru(e)man and Wes 'Warren' Harding. Not only that but Lee 'Camp David' in goal. Spooky.

You need a hobby. Have you considered quilting?

Shame Steffen Kuntz wasn't there. Apt name for the current incumbent

'Carter'-Vickers, James 'Wilson', 'Harrison' McGahey, 'Arthur' Bottom, Lyle 'Taylor'

Edit: Just saw you said last night, not in history. Oh well!

I may be a bit unconventional .... but I enjoyed the Brummie singing last night - the stoical Keep Right on till the End of the Road obvs. but also their support for the linesman in front of the John Street was fun.

I was so engrossed in the second half action that the cries of 'Lino' prompted a conversation with my next door neighbour about Lincrusta wallpaper.


ah


( what about the mysterious Jota, (which was a kind of Lamborghini btw) ... does he even have a surname at all?)

Full marks deducted for tautology.

“Current incumbent” indeed. Impeach this forum user!

Someone also did a massive fart on the concourse too. So that's a Trump to add.

I think we should also add that Alan Nixon is not a crook.

José Ignacio Peleteiro Ramallo. Not as daft as Che Zach Everton Fred Adams.

I remember thinking that as I wrote it! Writing good England doesn't my strong points

Also a beast of a motorcycle, a Laverda. A friend of Bert's once tried one out. He said he couldn't make it go slowly.

exactly what I felt trying to pootle around Liverpool in an Aston Martin that belongs to a more fortunate friend of mine. I was happy to catch the bus home.

I do think Jota regards himself as the Stig of football.
