Things I learned today (Part 2)

Hurlingham isn’t named after hurling by the way @Pirlo (even though Hurling Club is now there)

Hurlingham name has British roots, so just a strange coincidence

The Hurlingham Club was founded in 1888 by the English community in the area, following the original Hurlingham Club, founded in Fulham (United Kingdom). According to the history of the Hurlingham Club, the name was inherited from Hurlingham House, home of the club’s founder, originally built by Dr. William Cadogan in 1760.

Ger Canning commentated on Spain v Northern Ireland 1982.

Phil Spector was involved in the production of Happy Xmas (War Is Over) by John Lennon.

Did a fair few John Lennon singles and George Harrison ones as well as the Ling and Winding Road. Produced a couple of Ramones singles as well. He was the gold standard for production back in the day.

Harry Maguire, paul pogba and Fred were all born on the same day.

What does it explain exactly? All 3 are the elite of the elite at their chosen sport. Multi millionaires and as far as I can see, 2 of them anyway are pretty well behaved in doing so.
