This can be anything (it usually is isn't it!) real or fiction or after whom body parts are named! Not sure if we'll get twenty-six but we can give it a try! Good Luck!


A Alexander ARMstrong - of Pointless fame.
 
... or Jimmy ARMfield - Blackpool and England full-back (ssen him play against the Millers)
---------------------------------------------------------------
B Jimmy BONE - ex-Blades /Norwich City and Scotland striker
or Ryan SideBOTTOM - Yorkshire and England fast bowler

I think I should say that it doesn't have to be the part of the body that is the letter it can be the person/thing/object that is the letter!
 
D Danny BRAIN - Academy coach/ Educational manager at Birmingham City FC. One of his BCFC backroom staff colleagues is ex-Miller Steve Spooner. Don't know if Danny is related to the old Worcestershire cricketer Brian Brain... who I saw play against Yorkshire in the 1960's. (Could have had him for "B", but only just remembered him!)

I've met Bob Carolgees and that b****y dog of his - he was our 'entertainment' on a cruise we went on. Wasn't very good at all.

G Gary H(e)ART - American Politician.
 
or... Malin GUT - Swiss women's football international player. Started her career with FC Zurich, now at Arsenal. "Gut "means "good" in German. (Could be a distant relative of Johnny B.?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
H Eoin HAND - Portsmouth and Rep. Ireland keeper, and later Rep. Ireland manager. Seen him play against the Millers.
... or Bert HEAD , the old Crystal Palace manager. He had previously played for Torquay U. and Bury. He must have visited Millmoor a few times over the years, although I don't recall noticing him there (Unlike "Big Mal"!)

Saw Ian Dury & the Blockheads live on stage - very good!
Alternative for "I" (or "H") - Ian HAIR , who played in midfield for Aberdeen and Montrose in the 1970's .
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J Jake LIVERmore - of Spurs, Hull City, etc,. He appeared 7 times for England!!o_O ...mainly in friendlies, or as sub though. He played for WBA on loan against us at the NYS a couple of seasons ago, when the Baggies hammered us 4-0. We are only losing most games at the NYS 1-0 now... well done, Warney! :rolleyes:

Also when rock band Jethro Tull had their first single released , due to a printing mix-up, it had the group's name written as "Jethro TOE" on the label :p

K Ron KNEE - fictional manager of Neasden FC, who is often featured in Private Eye magazine. The "ashen-faced tight-lipped supremo" has his office located at Tesco Road , home stadium of Neasden . (Loosely based on Ron Saunders? ) Plenty of material from the football world to satirise this week - the Euro Super League, Jose Mourinho sacking, etc

Definitely seen him play against the Millers

... or Cherie LUNGhi -British actress who played the lead role in BBC tv's "The Manageress", which was a fictional story about a female manager of a men's football team. She has appeared in lots of other tv shows too, and also must have made a few bob from all those coffee commercials!

or Curtis MAIN - another ex-M'boro' player , striker who also played for Darlo, Donny, Shrewsbury, Portsmouth , etc.. ("Main" means "hand" in French). Possibly seen him play against the Millers (Can't remember him though)
