(JP: 'This next one is the Fretin (Peel mispronunciation of Tsvety I suspect!!) football record. I think, I could be obviously stepping on people's toes here, but I think it's in Russian, although it was sent to me by somebody who listens to the World Service programmes that I do and he sent it from Riga in Latvia and there is a mention of Football in it no question about that and also one of my mates claim to have heard the words Great Britain in there, but I missed it myself, and there is also a reference I think to Estonia, so who knows, what's its all about, but on the other hand, the odd football record does you good.')
