Trivia question to keep you layabouts busy...
Firstly, name the 1966 England world cup winning side, then, using the initials of each surname, name an undisputed (or in modern terms bonafide) heavyweight world champion whos name begins with that initial... you should have 11 of each by the end.

I think they think that once you get on the other side of the Penines it's awash with geordies......then again if I'd have shut me eyes I'd of sworn I was talking to Matthew Hatton
hey my list is not exclusive by any means. I had David Haye in there for 5 minutes before I realised he isn't a heavy weight champ!
Re: Trivia question to keep you layabouts busy...
