All correct so far...

1. Munich play in the Allianz Arena, the Roosters play at Allianz Stadium, and obviously Sarries play at Allianz Park.

3. All were born in Trinidad.

4. They all went all the way on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

5. In order, they were the first streakers at the B&H Masters (1997), the World Championships in 2002, and in a World Championships final in 2004.

8. All were played by Frank Oz. Jeff Fungus was from Monsters Inc., Marvin Suggs was famous for his "muppaphone", and Frank also played the warden of the prison that Elwood Blues was released from in Blue Brothers 2000.

Correct on number 10 as well... And so did the Blues Brothers, giving a connection between questions 8 and 10

Ah, I wondered... wasn't sure if it was SN acting up again!

Anyway, we're still looking for answers to 2, 6, 7 and 9. Oh, and it turns out I can't spell... For question 7, the first one should be "Le Marseillaise", as in the French National Anthem.

No.6: All Zip codes for the North Pole in the USA. 99705 is North Pole, Alaska. 12946 is North Pole in Essex County, New York. 73119 is North Pole City, which appears to be a shop in Oklahoma (Oh what a Beatiful Mornin!).

Sarge is correct with 2 and 6 - I had to try and get an Alaska question in there!

Jim is also correct with 9. Some of the theories for who it was are more tenuous than others.

Just the one left now then...

No.7 is, I think, "All You Need Is Love" by the Beatles. Le Marseillaise provides the song intro, and Yesterday and She Loves You are referenced later on in the song.

You answer is correct Sir. As you say, Le Marseillaise is the intro, then in the repeated "love is all you need" at the end, the word "yesterday" is sung in place of one, then a couple of repetitions later, they switch to "she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" as it fades out.

All done. Hope that was a distraction for a while!
