Groucho's Fact Hunt

Preston were the first team to do the double and the FA passed a ruling that they didnt have to change shirts,Reading being from the royal county of Berkshire also don't have to change shirts,both still do when playing teams with similar shirts but they have the right to refuse

Ah, thanks, I like that. The marketing dept of each club probably isn't too keen either on the right of refusal.

Do you actually have proof of this though?

I had a look and all i could find was people claiming it and others debunking it but nothing concrete either way.
 
What's the most beautiful expression ever written? Many candidates, but Euler's identity has to be up there:

It contains the five most important constants in mathematics - e, i, pi, 1 and 0, plus three of the fundamental arithmetic operations, in one simple, yet profound, expression.
 

Mick Lyons scored 59 goals? That's loads - was he nodding them in from corners on a regular basis?

Used to get used as an emergency centre-forward, and put his head in where it hurts.

Was sound, was Mick. Me eldest brother used to get spares off him. Stopped him from chinning Andy King on the way home from a game in London (WHU, I think) because Andy told him he wern't that arsed they'd got beat....

Seventy five minutes, losing in a crap game, Lyons plonks himself round the box for the hundred high balls which are about to be launched at him. By the law of averages he got a few but it wasn't easy on the eye.
