Subject: RE: BS: Prospects of Tony Blair -American View
English names is a subject in istelf, isn't it? I saw a Kevin Keegan play for England against Ireland and an Emlyn Hughes play for England against Wales. I don't know if Duncan Mackenzie and Malcolm MacDonald ever did really play for England against Scotland, but it would not surprise me.
Another one of my favourite idiosyncracies of history is the name Gustav Holst. Obviously, he was German. However, my musician friends assure me he was English through and through. We are an odd lot, aren't we? I wonder when the first Mohamed Ali Salim will play football for us against an Arab nation?
