I've gone to bed Lao, I'll check it in the morning mate but most look good to me, though not all

reidy, brilliant lad, a very creditable effort, you have 10/15, correcr answers given are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15. Your answer to 12 is not quite right so no banana there me old mucker

For the uninitiated, Roy of the Rovers is most lads cartoon hero, he was a mixture of Beckham, Best and Charlton before they were invented,

Reidy and Chico, leave poor Macca alone it not his fault he's from downunder, some brilliant comments though lads

Just messing around Granpar.

Much prefer Billy the Fish though

 

[monty]

Right Lao, I make that 12/15, great effort off the top of your head.......................Reidy will be miffed

 

[monty]

Any more shots at this before I close it, at least three remain unanswered
