I was just joking about Stoker - were the other ones true then? - but Albert Camus, novelist and philosopher, was the goalkeeper for his university junior team, Racing Universitaire d'Alger. He was prevented from pursuing a professional career by the contraction of tuberculosis. He later said that it was with that team that he learned 'what I know most surely about morality and the duty of man', although according to the Albert Camus Society:

IMDb is one of the oldest websites on the internet, and began on Usenet in 1990 as a list of "actresses with beautiful eyes".

The film 'Escape to Victory' has possibly one of the best casts of real footballers ever assembled. If you are a child of the 70s you will revel in the sight of Pele running rings around those nasty Germans("I do this, this, this, this, this, and score!" Osvaldo Ardilles-superior Argentina and later 'Tottingham' Hotspur player and the late great Bobby Moore who showed he could act as well as play. Michael Caine played Colby who gets a team together despite being accused of playing to the propaganda of Major Steiner(Max von Sydow) who has convinced German high command of it's moral-boosting of the troops(his of course) Sylvester Stallone is completely miscast as an American intelligence officer and poor old Kevin O'Callaghan(real life goalkeeper) has to break his arm in order of Stallone to go in goal "where do I stand for a corner-kick?" He then commits probably the worst two-footed tackle in history on a poor German striker-so not that bad then It is seen as cult classic even with footballers like Russell Osman & John Wark who couldn't really act, but at the time it was seen as a bit of a joke. As a war film it's a rollicking good one and has some great football sequences in it.

The De Gaulle thing was a very obvious pun and is not based on fact-I just thought I would clear that up - it comes from a joke -"The President of the United States has the FBI to look after him, the British Prime Minister had Special Branch, so who looked after De Gaulle - answer de gaulle keeper! mon dieu!!
Did you know that being in prison is called Porridge not from the television series starring Ronnie Barker but much further back than that when in the 17th/18th century a thin gruel or porridge was given to all prisoners in their cells, whch was usually lumpy and fairly unappetising. Doing stir was also about being in prison and mostly meant going mad with boredom although your levels of anxiety, frustration etc could rise hence the other phrase 'stir crazy' where a prisoner would become mentally unbalanced at being locked up for so long - man is a social animal so being on your own for days on end is enough to send anyone mad.

Prison Officers (the term warder hasnt been used since the twenties) are often referred to as screws. This stems from when prisoners had to work a treadmill. If a prisoner was finding it easy then the Officer would turn a screw to increase the resistance and make it harder for the inmate.

Which also gives rise to the expression for increasing pressure on an individual of 'turning the screw'.

This is a bizarre one and a little cruel but according the reference book '1,339 QI Questions to make your Jaw Drop' In World War I, it was patriotic in this country to kick dachshounds.
During World War II, the Americans renamed German measles as 'liberty measles' A Rabbit was the only casualty of the first bomb in World War II to fall on British soil.
