Not Ulrika.
Another clue....
When this artist performed on Eurovision he did so with an animated stick man. The song he sang at Eurovision is a word we use for veterans (although not the song title I'm looking for).

As nobody has got this I'll give you the answer...
The artist is Måns Zelmerlöw and the song is called "Fire in The Rain" - the song referred to in the Eurovision clue was "Heroes".
Gogglebox Ireland uses part of the chorus as an instrumental and is a Kite Entertainment and Studio Lambert production for Virgin Media Television Ireland.

I'll step in, if I may. A couple of football questions about Wolves (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Which record does Wolves share with Portsmouth?
And which record does Wolves share with Grimsby Town?
Which record does Wolves share with Portsmouth?
And which record does Wolves share with Grimsby Town?
Facetious answer, from person whom sport leaves stone-cold (all power to those who like it; just "include me out"): all are famously fierce (Portsmouth navally re legitimate warfare; Grimsby, re "civilian" aggro) and merciless to whichever creatures they happen to target.

Might be the big (still a ground record?) crowd at a pre WW2 FA Cup semi-final at Old Trafford.

I think I’ve had the Grimsby one in a pub quiz before. Record attendance at Old Trafford?

That's the one - The highest attendance recorded at Old Trafford was 76,962 for an FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town on 25 March 1939.

Sorry, nowhere near. It's more to do with winning than losing!

Portsmouth yes - 1939-1945 but it was Sheffield United 1914-1919 (not Wolves). So not the correct answer.
Another clue: North and South

Last champions of the old third divisions north and south? (And therefore holders of those titles in perpetuity or until the league gets restructured back to how it was)
Caboose Class

Last winner of Third Division North was Scunthorpe United in 1957-58
Last winner of Third Division South was Brighton & Hove Albion in 1957-58
So sorry, incorrect answer. However, keep looking in these two Divisions - both before and after!

Are they the only league champions to have played in all four divisions?

Getting closer - but not the record I'm after.

Are Wolverhampton Wanderers and Portsmouth the only FA Cup winners to play in and also win all the various divisions of the Football League?

I think your answer is the closest to the original question so Fratton Park / Molyneux is yours! Congratulations!
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Portsmouth are the only two clubs to have been champions of five different English Football Leagues!
Wolves – 1, 2, 3N, 3 & 4 Portsmouth - 1, 2, 3S, 3 & 4

Yes he did, one point each therefore - over to whoever jumps in first. Is that fair?

I'll defer to @MotCO on this..
Thank you.
A geography question.
In the EU, Germany has the largest population, followed by France. Which countries occupy positions 3,4,5 and 6. The winner will be the person who gets all four countries in the right order.
