    Niall Quinn.

    Rooney made his debut 10 years after the premier league started. Want to have been some fair play going before on for it to be him.

    What's the name of the Sword in the Stone of Arthurian legend fame?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,767 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I think the answer you are looking for is Excalibur, but not all the legends make them one and the same.

    Excalibur is the sword Arthur received from the Lady in the Lake.


    Caliburn is the sword he pulled from the stone. (Sword of the Stone)

    I don't recall seeing it? I also didn't know they had a national animal. Presumably it would be the stag? Or the sporran.

    Correct. Don't I ask nice zoology questions? ;)

    I read once that the origin of the unicorn myth was some guy who went halfway up the Nile and met someone from further up who told him about an animal with a horn on its head (rhino.) By the time the story got to Greece, and ultimately to Babycham, it was a horse.

    They initially decided it as a joke to see who pays them any heed I reckon.
