It sounds like something from James Joyce.

Well done!! The book in question was one of the "Secret" series she wrote. I was about eight or nine when it was bought for me as a present.
Over to you.

Was he a cricketer in the 19th century who took all ten wickets when bowling in an innings? Just a hopeful guess.

He wasn't a cricketer.

Actually he was, and he did once take 10 wickets in an innings, but that's not what he is perhaps best known for.

Going along that line, I'll guess first goal in the league.

Assuming he means 1997, then the driver is Meat Loaf. My sister loves this film and still watches it several times a year.

Whoever he is, he has a name to remember. I remember a Moroccan-born player called Lopez Ufarte who played professional football for Real Sociedad in Spain and was in the Spanish World Cup team squad at one period.

Correct. Plays on the wing to be precise.

Thanks.
What is a Ningi?
What was the main downfall which prevented its widespread use?

Was it a unit of currency which was a note with a number one followed by a page full of zeros?

The only item with the name of Ningi that I know is a small town in Queensland, Australia, so hazarding a guess if the location is correct, the crocodiles who inhabit the creeks there could prove a detriment to enlarging the settlement.

Seeing currency mentioned has triggered a vague memory of a coin in hitchhikers guide to the universe that was hundreds of miles long. Is this perhaps the Ningi?
