November 1st 1975 Birmingham City 1 West Ham Utd 5 My first ever game aged 13, having badgered my old Dad to get me to a match for the previous 5 years or so. Went on the coach from Gloucester and, after Trevor Francis opened the scoring, it was all West Ham. Clearly remember seeing the old chestnut...

No thanks. He always flattered to deceive for me with too many oversteps and blind alleys only to give the ball away cheaply at the end.

I heard Ginger Bob was paid to carry out the hit after single-handedly running their entire firm of 400 before the match.

He's now en route to Turkey with his fee to sort out a new set of railings...

More BTT?

Currently going to a lot of soul, R&B and Mod events, so it's authentic R&B all the way for me at the moment - not that sickly shite that masquerades as modern R&B: Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm - The New Breed Pts 1&2 - Sue John Lee Hooker - Onions - Stateside Dorothy William...
