Astronomy Look-alikes, No. 73
I think Cambridge astrophysicist Mike Hobson bears more than a passing resemblance to Norwich City Coventry City Newcastle United Blackburn Rovers Liverpool West Ham United Manchester City Cardiff City Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy. I wonder if, by any chance, they might be related?

You might be right. I see that Bellamy is known for his “The anisotropy of the opponent’s comic microweave backfour, Bayesian dribbling techniques, Star-formation in Cardiff clubs, and Radiative football transfers”. I think these are footballing terms.

No, he’s actually Lee Evans…

It’s not in my remit to get anywhere near the truth.

And in any case Steve Smartt looks nothing like Mike Hobson.

In that, sir, we are in violent agreement.
