The star-studded ancestry show Who Do You Think You Are? returned to TV screens this evening with a heartfelt episode delving into the family history of TV detective Ralf Little. The episode, which spans from the north-west, down to Wales and all the way north into Scottish territory, traced the Little family roots and shared an important victory or two.
Little, who played "our Antony" in the sitcom The Royale Family, once set his ambitions on the back of the net. As a lifelong Manchester United fan, the former Bolton School student embarked on a semi-professional career once, joining the likes of Maidstone United and Edgeware Town. It was as a part of the latter team that Little made his FA Vase debut in 2004.
Imagine his delight when he learned that his great-grandfather also had a passion for the great game. Only instead of a friendly kick-about in the park or a semi-professional game on a weekend, Little's ancestor played for quite a prestigious team and had quite the impact on its legacy.
