Credit where credit is due

I often complain about the poor Bible knowledge displayed by the University Cheallenge teams. All credit to UCL last night though; they got all three questions bang on. The first was on the third book of the Bible, the second on Elisha and the bears and the third on Canaan, Ham and Noah (The UCL Captain reminded me of Ryan Giggs)..

Ryan Giggs

I'm in a little dispute with someone over who can draw the most hits to their blog. I did well (unintentionally) with the Pygmalion blog. I mention Ryan Giggs from time to time and I wondered (for some reason) if I might get quite a few hits if I put his name on a blog. Ryan Giggs is a Welshman who plays football for Manchester United. I'll let you know.

Lesser known soccer fact 01

I'm reading a book about soccer at the moment (more another time). En passant I've noticed one or two little known soccer facts.

#1 Did you know that Ryan Giggs dad is a black man? Danny Wilson, a Welsh man with West African (?) roots, was a rugby league player.

It's also worth noting that Giggs has played in every Premier League season so far, scoring at least once in each season. See more here. I notice there is a shot of him playing for England schoolboys - what was that all about?

Three things actually

1. Check out this link on Alan's blog here

2 I was going to comment on Ryan Giggs scoring the other week for Manchester United. He has now scored in every season (17) that the Premier League has been in existence! More here and here. Great footage here.

3 Then there was also Duffy at the Brits. More here and here.

Of course, things are going well in the rugby too.

Just looking for some reflected glory I guess.
