Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
Didn't want to start a new thread for this but if anyone wants something to put on their Christmas List Geoff Hurst's new book "Last Boy of ’66: My story of England’s World Cup winning team" is a fabulous read. Quite different to the usual accounts of 66, I was actually disappointed when I finished it!
