Re: Trivia Question of the Day
One can only think of Jack Charlton. I would guess there is a statue in Ireland and another in Manchester.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
Yes, it is Cloughie.
There is a statue of him as manager in Derby, and one of him as a player, walking across Albert Park in Middlesbrough.
In his day the club used Albert Park as a training ground.
A far cry from the modern mega facilities at Rockcliffe.
Up to restart?

Obviously nothing to do with art but creative. A politician?

Quite a highly rated sculptor; I used to pass his house in Petersham where he'd done one of Charlie Chaplin as the Tramp
Here's one of Eleanor Rigby that he did for Liverpool Council; his fee was thruppence (half a sixpence)

Not sure, but I wish we'd skipped it...
Not aware of any recent centenary celebrations, and I guess it's a by-product of brewing, so I'll have a stab at 1890
