He would never have won as much if he wasn't Zlatan's mate. I think we can all easily name ten left backs from the last twenty years who were better than him.

What a terrible show it was. Cheap and nasty. Henry Kelly must be up there as one of the blandest quiz show hosts of all time.

It's original premise was for someone to win a trip to the 1988 Summer Olympics hence the title.

Yeah,the daily winners of the show got something very trivial is the way I remember it? The BBC certainly didn't break the bank for that show.

I only know who Maxwell is cause I  read the Zlatan autobiography, and he just seemed to be at the same clubs as him. I have no idea who he is thoughConfused. And to find he's allegedly the most decorated player in the world.
