Correct Hornby - I'd say it's unusual for someone capped that few times to have captained England in the majority of those appearances. Over to you.

Aye TBH I didnt know that stat/fact - it was the moderate success in the nineties/ same club bit that gave it away.

OK- As we are missing out on Cheltenham today, which horse won the Champion Hurdle in 2001?

Seeing as Hilary Clinton has fought back in the primaries... if eventually elected she would become only the second ever President to have never had a wife...

Who was the only bachelor president and which relative acted as his First Lady?

Nice question.

I know Hoover liked cross-dressing so I'll go for him!

I think you're mixing your Hoovers up. ;)

I'll try Eisenhower, on the grounds that he wouldn't have time to get married with all that army life.
