I've been puzzling over that one Jim and can't see how it works. It does say 'two men, same name', unless it's just sloppy question-setting. I have to admit to doing the same search, finding the same list, and doing a search for hockey keepers too. Great minds!

And yes Jim, I've been googling Eddie The Eagle as well!

Hi JimC,
I was thinking Eddie the Eagle Edwards, when I saw this other bloke.

Doesn't seem to be much about him on the web, and I am a bit vague about the facts...

probably best to ignore me.

Thanks Jim C - George Galloway fits the bill perfectly. Eddie (the Eagle) Edwards is already one of our answers, and they don't tend to have repeats. Re the goalkeeper one, I think you could be right about "sloppy clue-setting" so I will endeavour to get that checked. In the meantime, many thanks to all for your efforts.

ref Mr Edwards Identical Initials Try out the sex pistols manager They didn't like the National anthem And he isn't a member of the group

The Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren was born Malcolm Edwards. Hope this helps.

Thanks to Karl and Annie re Malcolm McLaren!

Last one now - and an amendment to the original question, after I queried it with the compiler.

Apparently the two goalkeepers with identical names,and born within three years of each other are NOT both English!

I have been looking at Scots, Welsh and Irish 'keepers, but so far no luck!!

Thanks.

Hi Dougglos.

The goalkeepers may share the name Phil Parkes (born 1947 & 1950) who played for Wolverhampton Wanderers and QPR.

Thanks very much, JimC - That looks very much like the £1 million prize could now be ours!! (Actually £ 5 between about seven of us!!)

Best regards.
