L - Denis Law 2 points For me and perhaps others.

Denis Law has passed away. Ian Smith moves up. James Baker (punk rocker) is now the 3rd sub. My list on the first page is updates to show all my hits.

Congratulations @wannamaker! Well done!

11. A Pyromanic’s Love Story (CaptainChorizo)* Joan Plowright There is a hit for @CaptainChorizo today. @Bibliogryphon
