Wow...

A quick look at the questions and I`m fairly confident that I know the answers to four - including the Sport one ...

some are going to need some thinking about...

and two are absolute stinkers [I won`t spoil it by saying which]...

Brilliant questions this time and thank you for putting this together @Cleoriff 

Good luck, everyone. I think we`re going to need it 

[jonsie]

A quick glance at those and I reckon I know around 9 with a decent stab at another.

[Cleoriff]

@Mi-Amigo 

Yes I agree, there are a couple of stinkers in there but I couldn't make it too easy could I?

9? Blimey @jonsie  I made it far too easy then.

Love the football one, I live and breathe footy,  and the Columbo one, you have to have keen interests in quiz programmes and strange facts too.
