Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Right, I've fired together a quiz to send off. I couldn't shoehorn a Stranraer question in, but I did a Scottish football question. If it doesn't get published next week I'll post it here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 A 6 via PM from Jacksgranda. Number 4 is a bit obscure.
