    No - at the risk of being politically incorrect, the player in question is a lot darker - the same as something in the temple...

    Is this a player from the 80s or recent times?

    About half way between the two. ;)
    He played for us in the Premier League under Ady Boothroyd - not one of AB's best signings. Cost a lot and left on a free transfer, from memory.

    Do you mean Steve Kaaba or Steve Kaba or Steve Kabba? His stats never did him justice, I thought. He was a very hard worker and often marked closely, so his excellent movement drew the opposition out of shape and gave chances for our other players.

    That's the player - signed as a striker in January 2007, scored his first goal for us over a year later.

    Now - what's his link to an Indian temple, or, to be more precise, something in a specific Indian temple? It really has nothing to do with his religion.

    I'll give it to you yorkie. It's the Karni Mata Temple in Rajasthan - famous for the 25,000 or so black rats that live, and are revered, there. The rats are called kabbas...

    Over to you.

    Ok...
    On a different tack..
    Why do directors tell actors to 'break a leg'?

    Is it when a debtor has failed to meet their repayment plan?

    Something to do with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln? His killer was an actor who jumped off the stage after doing the deed - and broke his leg.

    From what I can see, there are a lot of theories.

    I always thought it was an alternative way of wishing an actor good luck, as it was bad luck to say to them "good luck3

    The lever for the curtains on stage was/is long and called a leg. Breaking a leg would happen when the curtain had to be pulled back for many curtain calls, so to break a leg meant that the performance was very successful.

    I was told that years ago. I can't find any supporting evidence for it.
