    Brilliant stuff. I'd forgotten all about it, but I remember it well. Maybe, a camel and an elephant up front would solve our goalscoring problems.

    I'm sure Reza was one of those acrobats.

    This tradition has been going on since then, as I've seen plenty of clowns and circus freaks down the valley over the years...................

    The elephant was the one that had a dump & pee in The Blue Peter studio & then pulled over the handler, who slid all through it.

    TV gold.
