Pit your wits - No 137

BBC Sport's teaser of the day

Wednesday's question:

What World Heavyweight Champion boxer once signed for Liverpool but never played a game?

And that comes from Kev H in Liverpool.

Clue: He shared his first name with a former Liverpool manager.


Tuesday's answer:

Riddle: What was unusual about the radio commentary of the 1940 Edinburgh derby between Hearts and Hibs?

Answer: The commentary was made up! Commentator Bob Kingsley could see nothing because of a thick pea-souper at Easter Road, but was told to ad-lib so listening German forces would not know it was foggy and bomb Edinburgh.

There followed a succession of chances and saves, according to Kingsley. Amazingly the game lived up to his OTT commentary, with Hearts winning 6-5.
