    Agree with your crossword answers Matryoshka, but connection is that they all have the middle name of Winston

    pdf bbc peoples quiz (here) - find 'healey' in the document and you'll see the answer "Which middle name has been shared by Denis Healey, John Lennon and Gary Lineker? Winston" :)

    Wiki: Gary Winston Lineker, John Winston Lennon, Denis Winston Healey
