I Still See That Tackle By Moore: The Joy Of Mexico 70

If this World Cup coming up can give me just a tiny little bit of the things I got from my first then I for one am not going to complain about the state of the modern game with all its faults.

yes you are correct
trouble with chuck berry was that he was arrested some years ago for being a paedophile, always asking for young girls to play with his dingaling.

Hi Tom, in Bobby Moore's case he was "in the words of the police" set up by the jewelry shop owner, there was two
theories, one was it was for publicity for the shop the other was that the jeweler had taken money and made the claim
to unsettle the England team, it wasn't just Bobby Moore it was also Bobby Charlton but somebody said they saw Moore
put the bracelet in his pocket, they discovered later that the bracelet was being shifted around by the local crooks.
Regarding scousers, I wouldn't know as unfortunately there are tea leafs and low lifes in every community. cheers John F

The Pipkins - Gimme Dat Ding

Singer Tony Burrows told the story of the song to Mojo magazine August 2010: "It was written for a children's TV programme called Oliver In The Underworld. "Freddie Garrity (of Freddie and the Dreamers) was the artist. It was the only song Freddie didn't do on the album, Roger Greenaway and I were booked to do backing vocals for the album at Abbey Road. Basically we made (Ding) in the studio. It was a conversation between a metonome and a pianola - the metronome had lost its click, so it was originally called Gimme Dat Click. But that wouldn't sing, so we changed it."
