quartet

I was standing at the back of Methodist Central Hall in Westminster listening to a quartet of prime ministers.

Their Eastside quartet, Cannibal and the Headhunters, had a spring smash with “Land of 1,000 Dances.”

Those who have met Victor say is the most charismatic of the quartet and the most sharply dressed, with designer brown leather boots making him look good even in an orange flight suit.

The resulting infield of Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey played together for 8 ½ seasons, longer than any quartet in baseball history, winning four pennants and a World Series.

Despite relay medals supplying five of GB's 10 athletics medals at last summer's Games, there was no success here - with the men's 4x100m quartet failing to get the baton round in their heat.
