Though I could be wrong!

I've studied the picture ABOVE, just as it says, and I can confidently identify the two boxers as David Haye and Jon Thaxton.
Shall I email you my address?

I don't know who the boxers are, but have found out alot about George Formby.
Formby was his real name , its George Hoy Booth. At the height of his fame he was earning £100,000 a year, massive amount for that time.

I've actually got a date tonight, i can impress her with my knowledge of George Formby, it can't fail.
In a certain light i do look like the great man as well

Personally, I think you look more like Ian Holloway. Take her to West Cowes for a bowl of mussels, then take her home for a rendition of "When I Go Cleaning Windows".
Can't fail

A better clue - well that would be a bit harsh on the ones who have already e-mailed in correct answers.

Fair enough mate.
Personally I haven't got a clue who they are and would only be guessing.
I'm interested to find out on Monday though, and incidently how many people got it right.
