I am a distant relative of an Albion player and my son's distant relative is the Archbishop of Canterbury that crowned the Queen

 

[1066gull]

The family who plotted to kill the Medici family and get control of the banks - all they needed to do was kill two men, brothers, and they only killed one, meaning the were banished from Florence. Bloody bastards. I could of had a rich estate in the South of Italy if the had succeeded. On and invest in the Albion.

My grandad was the first man to do 100miles in an hour on a 500cc motorcycle.

He also broke 117 World Records in a year on an AJS.

He was also Chief Mechanic to building the "Thunderbolt" World Landspeed record holder 3 times in 1937/38.

Nothing wrong with that. I've met Craig and Charlie. Nice people and if you investigate their albums some of their stuff is actually very good.

[Deleted User X18H]

an extremely distant relative of mine played for and managed the Albion in the late 40's early 50's Cyril waas his name.

I'm not sure about famous, because there was no fame and fortune during the war. Only if you done something incredibly brave then you would be famous. But I do know that he took out a German General in the African Desert.
