"Ray Clemence, Mitchell Thomas, Gary Stevens. Steve Hodge,
They're all gonna put on a show for you,
And don't forget Ossie,
Specially 'cos he
Back in '81 he had his dream come true,
Nico Claesen, Hughton and Galvin,
Don't forget Clive and Paul Allen too,
Richard Gough and Chrissy Waddle,
Gary Mabbutt and Glenn Hoddle,
And Danny all the goals are gonna be for you..."

Shame about the result, though...

[Man of Harveys]

Single: Don't know, never bought many at all.

Album: Courtesy of my brother at birthdays: either Michael Jackon's Off The Wall or Wings' London Town. The first is still one of the greatest albums ever recorded which I adore now as much as I did on my 9th birthday, the latter, well, it's not THAT bad at all.

Gig: UB40, Brighton Centre, 1984. A big fight which made the singer interrupt a song while the miscreants were thrown out, loads of spliff around, deafeningly loud. Good stuff.

 

[H block]

This seems a little bit impossibly cool...

If it had been one of the festivals yeah but `The Centre` ?

 

[Trufflehound]

....Wings' London Town.... ..... .... it's not THAT bad at all.

Oh yes it IS.
