What a fascinating read relating to Jimmy Costley and Blackburn Olympic. Winning the F.A. Cup and what life was like back then as a footballer. Imagine having to walk a mile to have a wash after playing a match. Today’s prima donnas just wouldn’t cope. After last night’s feeble performance, I would have made everyone, including Tony, walk back home from Huddersfield. Keep it coming darrenrover, these are hidden gems from our illustrious past.

Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly

Neil Young - Rockin’ In The Free World

Not as long as Tony’s been in his bubble.

Just watching the Big Bash- Perth v Adelaide. Commentator talking to Barrow born Liam Livingstone who asks him which footy team he supports, Blackburn Rovers he replies. He said after a couple of dodgy seasons we are now on our way back. I think he may have been out in the sun too long.

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever

It certainly is. I used to walk past the ground every day on my way to junior school at St. Barts. The memories come flooding back.

Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight

Yes, he was a great batsman of the mid 60-70’s. He scored a massive 310 not out against the Kiwis In 1965, hitting 52 4’s, the highest number in any Test innings. R.I.P. John.

The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You

Crystal Gayle - Talking In Your Sleep

Clint Eastwood - I Talk To The Trees My favourite actor. This is my 1000th post. I first came across this thread at the start of lockdown with no more than 50 posts. I really enjoy testing my music knowledge with you all and it helps make the days pass by in an enjoyable way. I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and New Year and hope things improve into 2021 for everyone and our beloved Rovers. Cheers everyone 🥳

The Association - Along Comes Mary

The Doobie Brothers - Listen To The Music

Jimmy Cliff- Many Rivers To Cross

Janis Ian - At Seventeen

Archie Bell & The Drells - The Soul City Walk

The Manic Street Preachers - First Republic

Martha And The Vandellas - Third Finger Left Hand Mecca memory.

Steve Earle & The Dukes - Copperhead Road

I still buy Signal toothpaste. Can you imagine Salah or Kane having a stall on the market today.

The Rolling Stones - Come On

Blondie - Hanging On The Telephone

Where has that Palermo kit come from? The usual home kit is Pink and the away kit a sort of Black and White. They are only going to be used once, for their 120 year anniversary against Bari on Dec 23rd. Only available online at some later point if there is any stock left available. I wouldn’t mind getting one of those myself, looks really cool.

Bob And Marcia - Young, Gifted And Black
