Saw the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday. Quite an enjoyable film, and the lad that played Freddie Mercury really nailed it, but my God there were a lot of inaccuracies in the story, which even I spotted, and I'm not a huge fan of Queen.

Terence Trent D'Arby - Dance Little Sister

You’re getting soft in your old age matey ??

The Swinging Blue Jeans - Hippy Hippy Shake

Esther and Abi Ofarim - Cinderella Rockefella

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - Man Out of Time

What a fabulous idea Tony.

Barry Ferguson is another Jim.

The Jam - Away From the Numbers. A little bit out of place on the 'punky' first Jam album but Paul Weller's first great soul song.

Joan as Policewoman - The Ride

The Jam - Little Boy Soldiers

Funnily enough I thought it looked like Ben Stokes, the cricketer.

Elvis Presley - Way Down

The Who - My Generation

They were very recent (18 months earlier) twice champions of Europe!!!

If anybody on here knows either Mark Patterson or Simon Barker - ask either of those two about 'Sacko' and they have nothing but good things to say about him. I think Basil Rathbone said similar in his recent book as well. I have some great memories of his teams. On a par with Don Mackay I would say.

That was the first goal Boro had conceded in about 9 games that day. I may be wrong but I think Mowbray and Pallister were their centre halves. Lots of aggro that day too - a Darwen lad got badly injured outside the ground.

Queen - Radio Ga Ga

The Beatles - Lady Madonna

Saw them at KGH back in the late 70s. He was being a bit petulant that night because of a few beer mats getting thrown at him (I did think at the time “it could be worse Pete”) but nonetheless it was a great gig, and as ODB says, his was one of the voices of our youth along with Weller, Strummer, Lydon et al.
