Bob Wilson, TV pundit and ex Arsenal goalkeeper. Bob or Robert is not his real first name. It's actually Marigold. I kid you not.

Hey, John Wayne was called Marilyn, Big Daddy's real name was Shirley... both 'hard nuts' supposedly. It's all very 'A Boy named Sue'!

I once pinned him for a 3 count, but someone was distracting the referee, so it didn't count.

Bob Wilson lives just up the road from me and is a really nice guy. I must ask him about this!

My brother-in-law was great friends with a chap that used to play in a group and they were selected for the Eurovision Song Contest. They changed their name to Co Co, sang "The Bad Old Days" at the contest and came 14th or something. Later, one member of the group joined Bucks Fizz (Cheryl) and eventually became a Eurovision Song Contest Winner.

Charlie, my brother-in-law's friend retired from the music industry.
