    The utlimate World Cup quiz

     LONDON (AP) -- Which soccer club does WBC heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis support?
     Which FA Cup final goal-scoring star had his finger amputated by a lawnmower?
     Who said: "Gary Lineker has the charisma of a jellyfish"
     These aren't the questions the average sports expert might be able to answer. But they are included in a Trivial Pursuit World Cup edition launched today by former Manchester United star George Best and Wimbledon midfielder Vinnie Jones.
     Other revelations are that Pope John Paul II was a goalkeeper and that Scottish club Morton had a live mascot, a lamb, which drowned while taking a post-match bath with the players.
     In case you didn't know: Lennox Lewis supports West Ham; Arsenal's 1971 star Charlie George lost a finger; Vinnie Jones made the comment about Lineker.
