In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry

Long-haired Lover from Liverpool - Jimmy Osmond (oh dear)

I was at that Wimbledon match in 1985 - shouldn't be too hard on Rovers as the 'Crazy Gang' were in their pomp at the time. Wish I'd met Tonto - sounds an interesting chap.

Turn To Stone - ELO

Two of those were up before the Race Relations Board. Very good at supporting Celtic. Disappeared since we went into decline.

Autumn Song - Manic Street Preachers

Thunderbirds Are Go - Busted

From the LET: the 23-year-old will be forced to watch Rovers’ trip to Derby County tomorrow from the sidelines, as well the next 14 Championship games after that, after it was stipulated he could play for no other club during his four month temporary stay at Palace. Not that Goodwillie will make much difference even if he were available, but I find it staggering that he cannot play for 14 matches for the club that is actually paying his wages. Who negotiates these deals ???

Loving this weather at the moment - my garden is pretty as a picture. Long may it continue.

Thanks for the old newspaper cuttings. Chris Thompson was a good footballer. RIP

I heard the same which makes it rather odd that this thread has been opened and that fans of a football club about which he couldn't care less are sending condolences.

Masses Against the Classes - Manic Street Preachers
