73: Tommy Cooper played for Saracens
I am a little surprised you announced them all at once rather than 1 per hour over 71 hours.

Brilliant, truly Brilliant, sorry not to have dropped in earlier
...though couldn't you have just written point 71 and left it at that?

That is funny
Perhaps you should ask the "club" to use this as advertising material, might get one or two more takers, literally
Unless you really did leave out the free beer and someone came along and pinched it.

Great sense of humour on the part of the authors - one of the many reasons I enjoy being part of the Club.
On behalf of the eds, 'Thank you', but we shouldn't take the credit - that belongs to the Fezboys.
