    Memphis PD's 'elite' police Scorpion team?

    Disbanded after a video emerged of members beating an unfortunate citizen to death.

    Which top class sportsman's teammates nicknamed him after the only thing he knew how to order off a menu?

    Did anyone see this? Makes the Rodney King beating look like a minor slap. There are real, real, problems over there...

    No - he was born towards the end of this guy's 23 year top flight career. His nickname had more to do with pigs.

    That's him. A black American from a poor family, he was nicknamed 'Pork Chops' because, in his own words, they were the only thing he knew how to order from a menu.

    Over to you.

    Thanks, BB.

    The first game of which season began with (in order):

    AR, TH, VA, RJ, KG, AG, BD, DB, RJ, BG, AM, (sub) KM?

    Also, I’d like the result, please, and the line-up of first and last names.

    Cheers. Will have to have a word with whoever runs the Watfordarchive website - according to them he didn't play that season - which is why I plumped for Dave Butler.

    Which FA official owed his life to Rotary?

    Edit: And why?

    The original archive has Dennis Bond playing most games that season, while the updated one makes no mention of him.
