Re: Spotty's Little Known Facts
Former Everton and Leeds player, Duncan McKenzie could wazz a golf ball the full length of the pitch, could jump over a Mini from a standing position, and could stretch his scrotum right the way over his head - And not a lot of people know that!

I found proof of the golf ball story and the mini jump but was unable to verify the scrotum.

Not far from where I lived for a couple of years back in time, is Britain's highest beach. It is miles away from the seaside. is in fact a secret stretch of sand 780ft above sea level and 60 miles inland above a Yorkshire village.

Re: Spotty's Little Known Facts
I was not aware of that! My experience of Tod is somewhat different, in the 90s I twice did the Hot Toddy 6 mile road race held annually between Chistmas and New Year. Froze the old knackers off running up big hills. I'll leave it this year!
