Ryan Giggs?
And if I'm right, how can you call yourself a self-respecting ScotNat and not refer to him as Welsh? ;-)
Or could you be referring to Clive Tydlesley?
Neither is correct I'm afraid SU. And who said anything about self-respecting?!
I'll stick to politics in future!
I was thinking a commentator like Tydlesley as well. But actually, is it a play on words?
The Champions League song? I had to look this up but I was thinking it was composed by a Brit. Turns out it was an adaptation of Handel's Zadok the Priest, adapted by...
Tony Britten
I'll be gutted if I'm wrong!
Damn Sam. I was really hoping it would take a bit longer than that.
Tony Britten is the answer.
Of course, he has played a part in every Champions League match not just the final. But it makes it a better question...
So it's definitely not Darren Fletcher then?
Final? D'oh, I didn't even read the question properly! Anyway, well done Sam!
Better one for you - who were the last twins to appear together in a Champions League final?
I don't know if they were the last ones, but Frank & Ronald De Boer won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995.
There must be more recent ones?
Yes, it's more recent than 1995.
The Cheeky Girls?
Just kidding, I'll have a think.
Strange as it may seem, you're on the right lines...
The Proclaimers in 2002?
Yep - well done!
Most people cycle through the Charltons, the Nevilles and the de Boers before giving up... not many consider the off the field possibilities :-)
Given the nature of my original enquiry, I'd've been an idiot not to get it.
I don't get it! Proclaimers is the band presumably, but what did they do? Wikipedia says the 2002 final was at Hampden Park. I'm getting a horrible feeling that they performed prior to the game? Come on, the whole of Europe watching & you inflict the Proclaimers on them! That's not fair!
Sam - I'm pretty sure thats right. Craig & Charlie Reid are the Proclaimers. They probably did 500 miles.
