He has a brother. He's Bent too.

In the 1995 Merlin Premier League sticker album, two players for Leicester named Willis and Gee were in the same place on opposite pages so when you closed the book, Willis and Gee were touching. When I was 10 I found that amusing.

Still do.

Why yes. Tea and coffee are both rather popular beverages, you see.
