Here is one for you young guys.  Over 40 and you are barred.  How did this Norman Cowans get to be called Sid?

[PeterWithesShin]

He was in a Sex Pistols tribute band in his spare time.

You've even got me on that one, Brian. And I'm way past 40.

At least I know the answer to that one.

[A Northern Soul]

I remember his England debut, v Wales at Wembley in 1983. He got 3 for 29 and was 6 not out

[brian green]

Clue.  There are two theories how he came to get his name.  I will accept either.

[dave shelley]

I think I know Brian.

[cdbearsfan]

It's to do with Hissing Sid. Although I can't remember who Hissing Sid is/was.

[Bernie]

Something to with a song sung by Keith Michel about Captain Beaky. And a "Hissing Sid is innocent" campaign.

Time for my tablets.

That's the hard one.  Try the easy one.  Think of him in glasses.

That's certainly one for the kidz, Brian. 

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

His middle name is George.

[dave shelley]

I know this because I remember the song and looked it up so I could sing it to my grandkids.  You might be surprised by who wrote it.

Captain Beaky

[brian green]

Think of him wearing glasses and holding a guitar.

[Virgil Caine]

Sid Little of Little and Large 'fame' - really?
