Spot on. Great post

Tim Hardin - Last Sweet Moments

King Kenny had the most effective big arse I've ever seen on a football pitch - In his pomp he was amazing at holding off and turning defenders with it

Am I missing something old chap? Where’s the linked word?

First memories - the smell of pipe smoke and piss and little Johnny Price looking resplendent in his Rovers kit against a gloomy Ewood Park backdrop - that would have been one of Ken Furphy's first games in charge. Favourite memory - The unveiling of King Kenny. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. One of the few times I've cried at a football game that day (the others being Wembley 1987 and 1992, VE Day game v Newcastle at Ewood just after Noel Brotherston and Micky Heaton had died and shortly afterwards at Anfield - both in 1995, Cardiff 2002 and Ewood Park v Norwich (I think) when that poem to mark Uncle Jack's recent passing was put up on the big screen).

Secret Affair - Time for Action

Kenny Rogers - Coward of the County

The Beatles - Oh Darling!

Indeed he does. He reminds me so much of Alan Hansen in his prime when he does so as well.

Yes I think that is precisely why I like the kid. He doesn't hide. I understand where you are coming from with the Sweden thing but I think it is exactly players like Sterling, with quick feet, that can get the better of the more rigid 'traditional' defenders. Funnily enough I think Kane might be more to their liking.

I have the same feeling. We need that lad in the team, watch what the opposition do whenever he gets the ball (retreat), and despite being low in confidence he never hides and always shows for the ball. Can't believe some of the stick he gets - blimey we even need a scapegoat when things are going quite well!?

Scritti Politti - Sugar and Spice

I keep hearing tales of Sweden being England’s bogey team. While I agree we don't seem to have beaten them too often recently, the record looks pretty even to me?? Last 10 results (friendlies included) Sweden 4-2 England (2012 friendly) Sweden 2-3 England (Euro 2012) England 1-0 Sweden (2011 friendly) Sweden 2-2 England (World Cup 2006) Sweden 1-0 England (2004 friendly) England 1-1 Sweden (World Cup 2002) England 1-1 Sweden (2001 friendly) England 0-0 Sweden (Euro 2000 qualifier) Sweden 2-1 England (Euro 2000 qualifier) England 3-3 Sweden (1995 friendly) A single-goal victory or penalties beckons, I think, and it can go either way .

As (bad) luck would have it I'm in England for a wedding this weekend just when Rovers head north of the border, Tony. If this weather keeps up it will be glorious in Edinburgh though - enjoy!!
