Dundee United football club have a 100% record against Barcelona in European competition. The Scottish minnows have played four matches against the Catalan giants and won them all, 2-1 and 2-0 in 1966 and 1-0 and 2-1 in 1987. This record will probably last forever as the two clubs are unlikely to ever meet again in European competition, especially if the proposed European super league comes to pass.

Apologies if this has already been posted. The former cricket commentator Henry 'Blowers' Blofeld's father was a friend of Ian Fleming, the James Bond writer and it was his surname that was used for the villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld and it was a 'brutal' architect called Erno Goldfinger(whom Ian Fleming had a row with) that ended up as the gold smuggler Auric Goldfinger in the film of the same name. Scenes were filmed on the Army post Fort Knox, and on the approach to the real Bullion Depository but not the internal scenes which were recreated back at Pinewood Studios.
