A bit of fun this week.
I came across a programme from a European League Division 1 match between England and Turkey on February 14, 1989 at Crook Log Sports Centre, Bexleyheath, Kent. A match which England won 7-0.
There were some interesting player profiles. Can you match the interests of the players to the player? I wonder if their tastes have changed? Answers next week.
