What a year this has been for top musicians dying. From Bowie to Cohen they've gone,but left us with great music.

I noticed that the Villa shirt was huge like a tent,fat bastard !

There was a Villa shirt in a charity shop for a fiver. I've also seen Albion and Leicester tops too. You know when you get the urge for a bit of vandalism but just stop short !

Mega respect on not missing an away game for 3 years. I thought I was doing well at only missing one home game in years !

Not long after he sacked Dowie he came out of the casino on his own. A group of us were outside and I said " Ray when are you going to sort this mess out ? " He never spoke but when he drove past in his motor he wound down his window and gave a one finger sign. We laughed but one fan shouted...

I like browsing charity shops for Football stuff especially books.I get a nice feeling picking up a book for a couple of quid, especially one I've been looking for a while.This afternoon in a shop in the city centre there was a shelf full of books with half a dozen on football. Two caught my eye...

Correct. Come and look at what you would have won. A speedboat ! By the way it was found to be a lie, Holness never played the saxaphone on Baker Street, it was a joke that someone spread around and it kept on going for years.

Staying on the quiz theme,remember Bob Holness the quizmaster. Well it was said he played Saxaphone on a classic pop/rock song,but what song was it ?

Really enjoying Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge on Dave each night at 7.pm. It's been going for a couple of years,but I've only just caught it. Really tough obstacle course plus strength contests etc. One night it's the women who compete,the next is the blokes. The women are tough and get...

On the Chase tonight one question was : Who was the Midlands club to have the first all seated stadium in England ? Aston Villa,Forest,or Cov City ? The woman contestant chose Forest and Bradley Walsh said that sounds right. Obviously it was us !

Bet the name Curbishley pops up as usual when a job is going. Pressley is the same these days !

He does Golden Brown by Stranglers ! WTF !

Going off track a bit but Bradley Walsh of the Chase quiz has recorded an album,singing Sinatra songs and other singers too. And Alexander Armstrong of Pointless is also singing classical songs too. What's going on here ? Who's next then Paxman from University Challenge !

Okay Houch just saw this thread so sorry bit late in getting back. Sorry to hear about another heart attack must be scary ? Then again you sound chirpy ! I was in the pub a couple of weeks back when I had a pain in my chest,my mate said to me if I was okay ? Laughed it off and carried on...

I loved those wintry matches with snow on the pitch,orange ball,floodlights on,piles of snow on the sides. There's an iconic picture of Neil Martin jumping in the air after scoring v Liverpool on a freezing day with sleeves rolled up with cold air coming from his mouth ! No poncey gloves those...

Yes it was 77. I used to think it was on the Boxing Day but it was a day later for some reason. A group of us met in the Acorn pub in Ringwood Highway and full of Christmas spirit went to the freezing match. It had the lot,a fantastic game. Anyone who went to that match will have it down as one...

Wrote an article for Late Tackle football magazine on football in the winter and it's in the latest issue. I mentioned my favourite match and it was our 5-4 win on December 27 1977 verses Norwich City. It was a cracker with Blyth saving a last minute penalty. Great memories !

I'd like to add my nan who was my dads mum raised nine kids in a two bedroomed house. My dad said when I was older that for a little woman she was tough. Mega respect for that generation.

The old lady reminds me of my nan who was a sweet gentle soul. Me and my sister as kids would go to her house in Meriden with our parents and spend the whole day there. She would spoil us both and we loved her to bits. Then on a Saturday afternoon the wrestling would come on the telly,and it was...

I'll check it out.
