Played three Jags 9 pts United 0 pts. Played three Jags 6 goals United 0 goals. Kinda sweet, eh?

 

 

One of those inexplicable expressions. "Bob's your Uncle" most probably originated from Robert, Marquess of Salisbury's blatant use of political patronage. But who was Larry?

 

Seems to relate to an Australian boxer in the 19th century called Larry Foley. He was undefeated and won 1000 pounds for his last fight. Probably quite a large sum back then
