At last I have one!

My Son runs the game which will have Erling Haaland as a character in it from tomorrow.

(Ironically my Son isn't sporty, so had to ask his football mad little Sister about football formations...)

Speaking of footballers, my mates wife’s best mate dated Roy Keane when he was playing for Forest. She dumped him because he liked to play away from home.

Oooooh La La I know the tune but had never knew the lyrics

On the Champs Elysées, On the Champs Elysées
In the sun or in the rain,
At midday or at midnight,
There's Arsene Wenger walking along,
The Champs Elysées

It's better in French.

Au soleil sous la pluie
A midi ou a minuit
Il y a un Gooner qui
a marche ici

That's sort of explained to me who Arsene Wenger is.

Here's a tenuous link. I'm related to a knight who fought in the Crusades.

No desire at all to pee on your chips, but aren’t most of us? I seem to recall that some 98% of the Western European population (at least the white population) can trace back to Charlemagne himself.

But I guess a direct, ie unbroken, male descent could be trickier to establish and statistically at lot more interesting.
