I know 2 - it was Chippy Frillingos - we were called fruitpickers before that, and Eels comes from the Aboriginal definition of the word Parramatta, which is 'where Eels lay down'

1 - can name 3 major sponsors off the top of my head Pirtek, Asics, Ed Hardy

1 - SEW Eurodrive - no. Think 1996 and the top part of the back of the jersey.

3 - no. It's to do with the actual location of his birth. Google will find it. Do a search on Michael Cronin.

He wasn't born in a manger because there was no room at the inn??!!!??
