Fun Fact : Camacho Quiros is a distant cousin of former oldest woman of Costa Rica Claudia Soto Saborio who died at 111 in december 2020. Saborio was herself the first cousin of Costa Rican president Daniel Oduber Quiros (1974-1978), the successor of Francisco Orlih Bolmarcich (husband of Camacho Quiros). And to add to it all, Saborio was the first cousin of Antonio Ardon Soto (1888-1998) first Costa Rican supercentanarian. Apparently longevity and presidential power run in this family…

Did anyone else hear the piece on BBC Radio Four's PM programme last week in which a brain specialist discussed concussion and contact sports. Interesting stuff, basically he was concerned that there's too much pressure on players to get up and get on with things. Obviously prompted by the fact Spurs made their goalie play on to preserve their options for subs. But, according to the report, the problem is worse with rugby's two codes and their macho culture and lots of players play through mild head injuries. Head injuries are also worse now because players are bigger and stronger than they were and lots of rugby players end their careers with the kind of residual brain damage that sees boxers and the like lose the plot, and their lives, earlier than most of us.

1998 is looking good to clear first, with 2003 close behind!

Lively little thread we have us here, thanks Millwall!
