Funny how Come Dine with me keeps on throwing up those Crewe Alex connections.

A while ago there was Simon Walton having to dish up food to footballers' wives like Rio Ferdinand's, when his missus took sick.

And on one viewed tonight (a repeat, admittedly), there was the feisty and very fit Essie Omakodje, who served up, among other delicacies, 'Mama Sodje's Goat Stew'.

The rang a bell, though no doubt it's a common one in Nigeria, but she went on to say that her brother had played for his country in the World Cup.

So it must be the Bandanna man himself!
