    Truth is it never actually happened. It's often given as an "answer" to a trick question all right, that somebody with the surname Never scored a winning goal, but there's nothing in the records to back it up.

    For what it's worth, am not sure that Good Friday ever did actually fall on an Easter Monday either. There may well have been a horse of that name that came a cropper in the Irish Grand National some time, but the English have a similar question - "when did Good Friday fall on Boxing Day?" - and the answer they give is that a horse called Good Friday once fell in a race on December 26th. Some say it was in the King George stakes at Kempton, while others say it was at Wolverhampton.

    I do know that Socrates never played for UCD, in either the League of Ireland or the Sigerson Cup.... :)

    Nope...

    Time for a tenuous clue.... I'm no expert on t'web, and no doubt the answer aint 'googleproof' , but it might take a bitta searching nonetheless...


    CLUE:

    A lesser known member of Guns 'N' Roses' name features prominently in this cartoon, but not as a character.... Might get the name of the cartoon from this, but it's the film name I want :D

    That's very tenuous clue all right. :)

    Reckon I'd just come up with the answer myself already, though. So here's another tenuous clue....the son (in real life) of the actor who played that character is also an actor himself, and one of his best-known characters is somebody who regularly doesn't get much sleep.......
