Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

A tribute to two of my childhood heros.    Inspired by Daren.

A simple little puzzle.   Identify Bobby and Phil then do a little research.  


When I would play with my friend Tommy, I was always Phil, while he was Bobby. Well, sometimes he was Tony.. but usually Bobby. Bobby and Phil were the stars of the team, hence referred to as "my team". They played the majority of their career together for this team.

A few questions to answer:

How many seasons did they play together on "my team" = A (includes one partial season, before Phil was traded)
Phil set the league record for most goals in a season with BC . (11 years Later broken by Wayne).
Bobby's jersey number = D
Playing together, how many times did they win the league Cup? = E
After they went their separate ways, how many times (combined) did Phil and Bobby win the league Cup? = F
Phil's jersey number (when they played together) = G
As of this cache's publication date, how many league Cups did "my team" win after Bobby and Phil left the team? = H

The cache can be found at N 51 25.BFG W 002 22.DA(C+E-H). The way I approached it involved walking up a hill.

Cache is an 870 ml container (a large small).
 

This cache is part of a series of puzzle caches hidden in the same area, which I've called the Lansdown Puzzle Series. They make an "L" shape on the map. See bookmark for the complete list.

Regarding the "Dangerous Animals Nearby".   Please do not be alarmed.  The Adder is our only venomous snake, the shy adder can be spotted basking in the sunshine in woodland glades and on heathlands.  You are very unlikely to come across one here, and I have never seen one.   But it is possible as they can be found across the country, except for the Isles of Scilly, the Channel Islands, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man.
