Second Quiz - Answers And Winner Online

Posted on: Wed 10 Oct 2007

In our second quiz of the new season, we had a copy of the new "Celebrities' Favourite Football Teams" up for grabs.

The book is compiled by Chris Cowlin, of local print company Apex Publishing, who have been friends of the U's for a number of years.

It features a host of celebrities from both football and the wider world of entertainment giving their stories of which team gets their support and why.

As the book itself says: "We all like to delve into the minds and lives of our beloved celebrity figures, but this fascinating read is not celebrity gossip. It comes straight from the horse's mouth to reveal all you ever wanted to know about their favourite football teams and players."

The book is available in the shops for just £5.99, with all proceeds going to the Willow Foundation, but U's supporter Matt Swingwood  has won a copy after scoring nine out of ten.
