Picking some not yet answered:
5. Who said the below to a driving instructor, and what country was he in?

"How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?"
Sounds like Prince Philip.

6. Which company said the below, about which band?
"We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out."
EMI (Yes, Beatles)


10. Who, almost certainly apocryphally, said, "Good luck Mr. Gorsky"?
Neil Armstrong on the Moon.
5. It was the inimitable Prince Philip.

6. Not EMI, sorry.

10. Yes. Not a story to be retold here. It's an urban legend that can easily be googled for those who don't know.

Two points.

Not really, since I seem to be equally ignorant about what DOES go on in NC!

3. Jack the Ripper at a guess. It sounds mad enough.

9. Maybe a football pitch? So a big final but I have no idea which one. I'll go for a World Cup.

I believe #8 is George Best, although I heard the quote as, "I spent 90 percent of my money on women, drink, and fast cars. The rest I wasted!"

Ah sorry, I missed the "where?" for No 5. I would think Australia is the right answer, issybird, so that's your point.

I'm going to guess at #9 -- A World Cup Game? You guys call a soccer field a pitch, right?

Edit: Never mind on question #9. I just read it again, and I need to name the commentator and the year. I don't have a chance.

Yes, Jack the Ripper. From the "Dear Boss" letter.

It was a World Cup Final

5. "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?" - Prince Philip in Scotland

6. "We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." - Decca said this about the Beatles

9. "Some people are on the pitch! They think it's all over...it is now!" - Kenneth Wolstenholme said this after England's fourth goal of the 1966 Football World Cup (our last ever win...)
