Astronomy Look-alikes, No. 73
I think Cambridge astrophysicist Mike Hobson bears more than a passing resemblance to Norwich City Coventry City Newcastle United Blackburn Rovers Liverpool West Ham United Manchester City Cardiff City Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy. I wonder if, by any chance, they might be related?

It’s not in my remit to get anywhere near the truth.

And in any case Steve Smartt looks nothing like Mike Hobson.
