I tripped over this… 17 miles into final long training run ahead of the Athens Marathon. Now I miss that, our inevitable win over Man U AND your night at the Social. But I get to go to Athens for one handed digging so…

So good that I managed to clap with a double-fractured elbow sunshine. It was BIG.

Had the same view of this as we had of Son v Burnley… watching them run away from us towards the south, knowing they’d score as soon as they went past halfway. Such a moment. What a goal.

We’ve always maintained that they’re “good for curlers” - four of us, all played football together in our teens, still insist upon it as absolute fact now, even though we’re in our 50s.

It was good enough for the island in the 80s so 100%… and of course, it lent a title to the favourite summer party of a fair few of us (Waves to @dannykelly.bsky.social )
Also, Jason Boardman squared the circle by playing this at that in the summer.
In summary then: B.A.F.

Hey Nick! Been a while mate. Lovely read. Chill Out had such a lasting impact on so many of us. Timeless.

See that a few other replies suggested Resident for records. That’s all new stuff and books, and more like a Fopp now; Rarekind is a mix of new and second hand (lots of it, great prices)

If you’ve got an hour I’d suggest beer at The Great Eastern and/or records at Rarekind and the new Bella Union shop - all three within a mins walk of each other, and five mins downhill (east, not south!) from the station.

Immediately followed because of the rosette in the header-image but more for the penultimate para in WSC - I could have spoken those words myself (Jacobs, Barrett, Tone, Jennings…) And we wore the rosette on ‘that day’ in ‘82 too.
10-15 years of EFC programmes in the loft... Ah, the memories!

Picked it up today mate and was delighted to see your (excellent, obvs) piece facing the (also excellent) Enfield v Enfield report. Still got dozens of late 80s/early 90s WSC - and many other fanzines - in the loft. Always a great read.

You can just pop over for a Spurs game and I’ll let you into the inner sanctum. Not unsupervised though, and [block caps needed now] NO PUTTING ANY BACK ON THE SHELVES.
