bazza 1832 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Good podcast again. I wish Tony and all his family all the best. Nice to hear again Only One J Henry's version of By Gum We'll Make It a Day. I love this slow version. This together with the Wild Rover as played at Ewood should be adopted forever as Rovers' themes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
booth 3525 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Best wishes to his daughter, what an awful time she's been though. We need a Tony Parkes statue to go alongside Jack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
