I was a huge Hill fan (let's face it, he signed Ian Gibson...), and was devastated when he left. I then became a Cantwell fan, although it took a year or two. Sillett was a hero too. But Robbins? What he's done with a couple of bob found down the back of the settee, and one hand tied behind his...

My first ever cinema visit as a lad, with mum & dad, to watch From Russia with Love, at the Ritz. Resht eashy Sean - probably my first hero.

I did. You ignored me you twat. (PS. Having now consulted The Oracle, she reckons it was '82?).

FFS. In the middle of fckn nowhere trying to follow this thread and my fckn phone dies just as Reading score their second. Longest five minutes ever trying to find a cable and restart the phone. Fckn brilliant result city!

Will never forget that dance.

Just running through the Old Grey Whistle Test 40th Anniversay album. Some cracking stuf, including:

Not quite the same as getting lobsters out of Jane Mansfield's arsehole. Now, where's my copy of Derek and Clive Live?

NEVER a relegation one - from any league. Last time the rfu foisted that rubbish on clubs, Cov were relegated by a side* that hadn't won a single game all season, yet brought in a shedload of decent overseas players just before the cut-off (they'd been registered earlier in the season on false...

May '70 here, so not quite such an old twat as yow ;) Had just got a little money in my pocket for the first time, and seen Free at the Lanch, and bought my first LP (Thank Christ for the Bomb iirc). Halcyon days.

Seems they've found another body linked to this, but this time at Newbold Comyn.

Hah. R deC and Nookie were also on the bill at that Cannon and Ball Show. Not very PC now, but funny at the time.

Still that good huh?

I was even more careful. I always used to wangle it so it was my cousin's turn to drive.

Only '69. Just like yesterday really...

Terrible. Made I larf though.

Used to go over to Dudley Wood occasionally in the seventies (Cradley Heath vs Cov Bees). The whole area was redolent of some improbable dystopian Hollywood movie.

Wales, British Lions, and Llanelli legend JJ Williams has died at age 72. One of the greats of an era of Welsh rugby that will always be remembered by those that witnessed it.

Saw Cannon and Ball at Cov Theatre (83 ish). Sad to hear of Bobby's passing.

Oh, and ended up with a bit of Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, somehow. This one being in probably my top ten all time songs.

Mostly Spencer Davis Group earlier today. (Best Of album). Sent me down a Traffic/Steve Winwood wormhole. All good.
