LA Galaxy's biggest fan can't wait for Steven Gerrard to arrive. I know because he told me while I was waiting for a Heathrow flight at LAX earlier 'today' (i.e. yesterday). The trouble is, he pronounced the 'G' in Gerrard the same as the 'G' in Galaxy, or gobsmacked, or good grief.

Therefore I doubt he actually IS their biggest fan.

Well they are pretty Enormous.

The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,400 km.


Planet Average Diameter (km)

Mercury 4,879

Venus 12,104

Mars 6,771

Jupiter 139,822

Saturn 116,464

Uranus 50,724

Neptune 49,244

Total

380,008

That leaves Around with 4,392 km to spare if you include Pluto there would only be around 2000 Km to spare.
