Terry McDermott

[Gibbo]

I'm disappointed nobody has said Robert Bernard Fowler yet

All correct, obviously, although don't think they gave Terry or Adam as possibles. Others included Nigel Winterburn, Nigel Martyn, Eddie Lowe. I've just looked through a list of players and just including A & B surbames (start) there are 6!

Other questions;

How far between bases in Baseball?

27.5m from the 'point' of the base. 26.8m from the edge

List the grounds that hosted matches both when the 1966 World Cup and the 1996 European Championship were staged in England

Wembley, Villa Park, Old Trafford, Hillsborough

Nigel Martyn's first name is Antony. Antony Nigel Martyn. Takes a lot for a man to choose to go by the name of Nigel.
