Photograph most extraordinary!

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Many years ago my eldest daughter Lauren, upon returning from holiday, excitedly showed me her recently developed photographs. We were looking through and there was one of a young lad. I expected that this to be of someone who she had met. But no, she had no idea of whom he was. So, obviously, 'it' had got mixed up with Lauren's at the developers. At the time I was misguidedly running (or ruining) a Sunday football team. About a year later a young man appeared, new to the area, and asked to join the team. (You're probably ahead of me here.) There was something about he that I could not put any of my fingers on, then awhile later I was sorting out those photographs that we never seem to have an album for....and there was this very young lad in that aforementioned photograph. I took 'it' to the next game and his jaw dropped even lower than mine.
