I know Andy Murray doesn't talk about it much but I wonder how the incident affected him in the long run (his class was the next one due in the gym at Dunblane that day). Jamie and Judy too. For all the pride they feel in their successes, there must be a certain degree of guilt too in that they were lucky enough to be able to move on when so many lives were lost or shattered.

Anyway, good quiz, thanks.
I'm exactly the same, I recognise the name when it's pointed out that Thomas Hamilton was responsible for the Dunblane massacre, but, whenever I hear or see the name "Michael Ryan", I think Hungerford straight away - sometimes, things stick in your head when you hear about them as a kid, but I was thirty one when Ryan killed all of those people so that hardly applies here.

As for Andy Murray, I think all truly successful sportsmen and women are "driven" to some degree, but he seems particularly so - could the Dunblane shooting have anything to do with that?
