This is the most bizarre thing - my son has just rung up and talking about a friend of his, my son told me he had gone back to Uni and had requalified as a Physicist - and had got a Hurst!!
Well, I know that a Desmond is a 2:2, so connection one has to be slang for types of degrees!.

Blow me down.

Connection 1

Names of footballers???

(Going by Sally's answers)

1) Geoff Hurst was a footballer

2) I've heard of a Cameron footballer somewhere in my life time

3) There must be a Desmond footballer somewhere in the world

4) David Davis I'm guessing is a footballer

5) No idea who the image is
