I was there full of anticipation. Fancy little old Brighton signing a former England International. Unbelievable! Seeing, shall we say his well built bulk was a shock. But all I can remember is the headed goals which was his stock in trade.
I went to a Jack Jones concert at the Dome maybe 1971 and he sang a glorious song by a new singer - songwriter called Carly Simon and it was called! "Thats The Way I Heard It Should Be" .This was featured on the "Anticipation" album and paved the way for the "No Secrets" blockbusting album.
Let me take you back to the early sixties!
The Tudor bar in the basement of the Salisbury Hotel. First taste of strong German lager.
The pub crawl to be" seen in". The Druids Head"," The Sussex" and the Pickwick" all in the Lanes..
After 10.30 closing into Choys, the Nanking or the...
" The Bridges of Madison County". Fabulous acting from Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood. Emotional tearjerker with a heartbreaking ending. Icing on the cake is the wonderful jazz soundtrack. Probably not suitable for you hairy-assed supporters though.
I can't believe no one has mentioned the grab- a - granny Friday night bunfest popular with the unlucky in love singles. Very popular when when I used to haunt the King Alfred in the early nineties.
Yes I recommend this shop off of Montague Street in the arcade. I have bought an Albion themed print and a ceramic figure of a fan with a blue and white scarf. Open up the menu in the attachment to see said items. The print I think was £45 and the figure £59.
When I was 20 in 1964 Bang and Olufsen brought out a wonderful transistor radio which had something new FM radio. What stood out was the sound quality from the usual tinny competition. I remember paying £34 for it which was a fortune then. It ended in a hedge in Storrington 20 years later which...
If only I knew how to add a video to my answer, maybe someone can do it for me. My choice is Bonnie Raitt's "I can't make you love me". It always hurts to hear the lyrics about a one- side love relationship.
I remember the immaculately groomed goalkeeper Eric Gill in his green polo neck jumper. Later to become a hotelier. Jimmy Langley with his bandy legs and hitched up shorts. Not a good look. I think he became an English B international. Des Tennant the rotund full back. Roy Jennings an old...
My son Richard age 5 was asked by his straight - laced aunt would he like biscuit. He replied "Yes". His aunt says to Richard " What is that little word beginning with P (meaning please). Richard replied" Piss". I didn't know whever to laugh or cry.
Bert Bacharach not forgetting Hal David the best songwriting team since the fifties. I have fond memories of shuffling around the Regent ballroom to " walk on by". I saw him perform a few years ago at the Jazz festival near Lewes. Yesterday we lost a true legend.
