SCOREBOARD

TRIGGER 8 KINKYGERBIL 8

Home or Away next

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

is home football?

 

[The Great Cornholio]

Right - Home or Away with a twist. It's just a captain's away question so I will only accept answers through the captain. These are True or False and you will get 1 point for each correct answer. I will give you 10 minutes from this post. If I post TIME UP before you post your answers, they will not be accepted. You can answer 1 at a time if you wish but you only get 10 minutes for all of them.

Don't forget - feel free to confer but answers through the captain only.

Trigger's Team

True or False? Here are the names of some boxers from over the years, and all you have to do is decide which of them are imposters.

Ray'Boom Boom' Mancini.
Peter 'Young Rump Steak' Crawley.
Arthur 'Rock Hands' Robson,
Verno 'The Inferno' Phillips.
'Piano Mover' Jones.
Sheila 'La Rockette' Stallone.
Lyndon 'The Man of' Steele.
Harry 'The Human Windmill'


Kinkygerbil's Team

True or false? Can you tell which of these famous pairings are genuine sports stars and which have been made up?

1 Cannon and Ball both played football for Darlington

2 Banger and Mash have both played football for Southampton.

3 Marks and Spencer have played cricket for Somerset

4 Tate and Lyle have both fought for the World Heavyweight title.

5 Emerson, Lake and Palmer have all played football in the Premiership.

6 Stock, Aitken and Waterman have all won rugby union caps for Scotland. (Jim Aitken captained Scotland, but not the other two!)

7 Bride and Groom won the Wimbledon men's doubles in 1921.

8 Mills and Boone both play Major League Baseball.
