Housemartins and Beautiful South legend Paul Heaton interview with lots of BHA chat

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

You may well enjoy this. Former Housemartins and Beautiful South legend Paul Heaton was in town last week. He was interviewed by European Football Weekends and didn't hold back. He was on the Goldstone Ground pitch in '85 and has plenty of views on Micky Adams and Gus Poyet. It's quite a lengthy interview, but maybe worth a few minutes of your time as we tried to crowbar in as many gratuitous Albion references as possible:

Great stuff as ever.

Don't forget you three have got to bang your heads together to find a date for your radio appearance.

You are a very able writer. Lovely, thanks.

It's a pleasure, Paul made it fairly straightforward with his genuine openess. A true legend.

Who was the best? The Salvation Army?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

The Gargoyles - clearly you weren't around at the time.

Good stuff. In 1990 Paul Heaton invited my then girlfriend's mate (whom he'd just met) to accompany him on an all-expenses paid trip to the San Siro. Can't remember whether she went.

He talked quite a bit about those trips and the journals he kept and photos he took. None of these are on-line as it was pre-web days, but he may, just may, let us borrow them and get a few of the stories and pics on-line.

As you do....

Suppose if you're intent on going to the game and have a bit of cash and would like some additional company then why not. This is coming from someone who asked a girl he'd just met to accompany him to St Petersburg, where he was getting his eye lasered. She duly obliged.

That'd be awesome , wouldn't it

 

[Julio]

That'd be awesome , wouldn't it

Yes, certainly would. He was sincere about the offer, he's thinking about donating his collections to the national football museum.
