Kind of reminds me of when I found an old footy record, last year, from a 1996 game I went to. There was one of those 'kidz' pages where the challenge was to identify two partially obscured players in a photo.

I so very nearly sent in the excited mailed response of 'Dean Kemp and Saverio Rocca!!' to 'Kidz Competition with Ross the Boss', just for the laughs.

I was bored..
