That’s sad news. He’ll always look to me like that effortlessly cool guitarist in that famous Otis Redding and the MGs performance filmed in Oslo I think.

Record Mirror loved both The Adventures and Hipsway around 85-86. The logical third one now should be Love and Money. Eh @bluejeanbaby01.bsky.social ? #forgotten80s

Oh Spurs. While Richarlison, Muani and Tel have been mostly toothless, Troy Parrott - who we sold for about 10p and a bag of sweets - hit two beauties for ROI against Portugal (sending Ronaldo off in the process) taking him to almost 20 goals this season already. Will we ever learn? #COYS

Sad news that another Topps Football Card legend has gone. Has there ever been a more Old Norse team than that mid-70s Middlesbrough side? Boam, Foggon, Spraggon, Maddren, Craggs…. you can imagine them travelling to away games on a longboat.

I reckon everyone in the UK would be much happier if we adopted the theme from Grandstand as our national anthem.

The day this becomes a reality is creeping closer. Imagine Lee Anderson as minister for Digital, Media and Sport; this is the outcome.
