"The giant nukupuu (Hemignathus vorpalis) is an extinct species of finch in the family Fringillidae, which is only known from fossil remains. It was endemic to Hawaii. Its extinction is believed to have occurred within the last 3000 years, but exact timing and reasons remain unclear. It was larger and had a different bill morphology than the remaining members of the genus Hemignathus. References * James, Helen F., & Olson, Storrs L. (2003).

"Gordon Bennett was the Head of Youth Development at League Two side Plymouth Argyle. Earlier in his career, Bennett was Chief Executive of Bristol Rovers and Norwich City F.C. His time at Carrow Road was significant enough that in 2003, he was made an inaugural member of the Norwich City Hall of Fame. After leaving Norwich, Bennett worked for Aberdeen F.C. and while working there he remarked, "When you have a name like mine I am bound to be latched upon"."It's the name of the game", Sunday Herald, December 5, 1999 . In 1969 Bennett won an ITV/Daily Mail-sponsored fan-of-the-year competition. By answering a series of questions on his beloved Bristol Rovers, Bennett earned a trip to the Mexico World Cup and a £1,000 cheque. Personally, the prizes did not interest him. He gave the tickets away to the runner-up and presented the money as a gift to Rovers. Bennett spent his early years at Ram Hill, Coalpit Heath, near Bristol and in his playing days Bennett played amateur football for Henfield Youth AFC. He passed away on 17 September 2020.
