Re: You'll never guess who is almost in my tree!
A clue just for RF:
Jack Warners character was named after this persons grandfathers old school in Birmingham
Late edit: RF, I suspect you might just get it from this clue - if so just give us the name of the school and let everyone else have a guess!
