An all round entertainer and a song and dance man at heart. Some entertainers go through their careers with a single catch phrase. Brucie had many, all instantly recognisable. He was Mr Showbiz and will never be forgotten.
RIP and thanks for all the laughs.
A girlfriend saw him live in Vegas, circa 1972.
She said it was the most incredible atmosphere, pre-appearance, she had ever experienced. The venue was in complete darkness and people were shaking with excitement. A single spotlight picked him out and the place went crazy. She said it was simply...
Many moons ago at a company do in London. Was returning from a club with a colleague and bumped into two very attractive black girls walking along Park Lane. Before we knew it, we were ' smuggling ' them into the Hilton and up to the god knows what floor. The colleague I was with was not the...
The penalty kick.....get rid.
Doesn't eradicate diving/simulation but greatly reduces....encourages players to stay on their feet and show skill, rather than just cheat. Penalise offences in the usual way with cards. Still means offending player is punished, but not twice. By all means retain...
It means the world to the grass roots of the game, who start playing in the competition in July and August and can play through five rounds before reaching the first round proper in November/December. It is really two competitions in one. Hundreds of smaller clubs, all burning with ambition to...
Ah....poor old Crawley....roughly 20 miles away...same County....but as usual totally overlooked. I suppose that it is lack of league history that condemns them to the ranks of the forgotten or largely ignored.
We reached 6th in the table and we were in our 3rd season in the top flight. For most BHA fans that should have been a sunlit upland, that for the rest of our previous history, had seemed a million miles away. Were the fans rejoicing and praising the management, were they heck. Not content with...
All I know is....contact of mine who deals with lots of agents.....was told today that Brighton are hoping to bring in someone before the weekend....and it is likely to set another transfer record....a Dutchman was mentioned. Honestly don't know whether it is a striker but we'll just have to...
You will be even more delighted before this week is out.
I am expecting us to break our transfer record again, to bring in another key player. ( May even be another Dutchman )
Lets be honest....whilst Mo is lauded as a national hero and fawned over by the media, there are many of us who are not comfortable with his dramatic improvement in performance. The trouble is, we have seen it all before. Ben Johnson, Linford Christie, Flo-Jo, East German athletes ( en bloc )...
Football crowds are far more ' sanitised ' since all seater stadiums pre-dominated.
Those of us who attended matches in the era of virtually no segregation, know what its like to experience intimidation. To stand on the terrace at the Old Den, side by side with hardened Millwall fans, was an...
Really original thinking to put the three promoted clubs in the bottom four. Bit different from Dean Saunders who was asking the Corals representative for a price on BHA to finish in the top half!
I could be wrong but I suspect that the majority of people on here moaning and groaning are relatively recent recruits to the fold. Those of us who have lived through years of 3rd and 4th tier mediocrity, the sudden rise and Wembley and then the inexorable decline to 1997. Gillingham, marches...
