Cliff Richard: cock end or respectable religious bloke

[hitony]

I think anyone who has had / still got a career like Cliff has done, has to be respected, if you like or dislike his music is another thing, but clearly many people do, his live concerts sell out as quick as Take That's do!!

 

[El Presidente]

Surely he's bi as he was 'partnering' Sue Barker at one time.

I hear she wears comfortable shoes herself, so suspect it was just the Ashley and Cheryl of the 80's.

But so did Hitler's!

 

[readingstockport]

Considering Sue B is married and has been marreied for more than 10 years I suspect it may be the case that she bats for both sides as well if what you say is the case.

 

[8ace]

He has a very scrawny gregory - is there a technical term for this?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He had an affair with the wife of one of the Shadows. I think it was Tony Meehan's. Tony then left the Shadows with Jet Harris to form a duo 'group'.

 

[Return of the Rev]

A giant among british music stars but always had his feet on the ground,after taking centre stage at his early shows the great man would simply slip into the shadows afterwards

 

[Timbo]

I like Cliff! How much of the absolute wank in the charts nowadays will still be recognisable in 50 years time?

 

[Simster]

He's not for me but I have no great feelings about the man one way or the other. He's a churchy. So what? He's middle of the road. Again, meh.

I think the gaggle of middle aged women choosing to sing along with him at a rain soaked Wimbledon were always far more embarrassing. I cringe just thinking about that whole scene.

Amazing video

 

[keaton]

I find it difficult to understand hatred of him, he's not my cup-of-tea but he seems like a happy, cheerful good bloke without too much ego.

 

[Tybalt]

Same could be said for the Pope!

 

[The Large One]

I think it says something for his enduring versatility that people find him singing at Wimbledon such a source of gossip. There's many who think he's a regular turn at Wimbledon - fact is, he only ever did it once.

 

[The Large One]

Same could be said for the Pope!

The Pope - no ego?

 

[Danny-Boy]

He has proved over the years to be a good pop singer or he wouldnt have had a hit in every decade since the 50s, not sure that he will have one between 2010 and 2020 but due respect to him. Religion is a personal thing if he is that way inclined who are we to criticise him. There are many people not in the spotlight who are just as religous as he is.

In every decade from the 1950's to the 1990's he had at least one official No.1 single. Missed out in the 2000's, shame.

Calling Cliff Richard a closet homo is a bit like calling Albion a closet homo's club...

 

[Danny-Boy]

He had an affair with the wife of one of the Shadows. I think it was Tony Meehan's. Tony then left the Shadows with Jet Harris to form a duo 'group'.

And recorded "Diamonds" and "Scarlett O'Hara" and then virtually disappeared from the 1960's scene.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Cliff Richard? "Not much of an ego"? Someone is taking the piss surely!

Yep, he regularly boasts that he gives a third of his income to charity.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The Pope - no ego?

Quite. He should be fluent in Latin, no?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Only one more annoying cock end in pop than Cliff (and yes I was made to sit through Donny Osmand today at panto in Hastings who probably wasn't helped by material) and that's Robbie Williams.
