The pop group Boney M's biggest hit was Ra-Ra-Rasputin. Bobby Farrell, the only male member of the group died on the same day (30 Dec) and in the same city (St Petersburg) as Rasputin.
I also just read Killing Thatcher on holiday. Like a Le Carre thriller (only it's true) and a fascinating glimpse into recent history with a lot of historical 'what if's' to ponder.
Denying that you were the stone wielder in the first place and then being forced to appear in court admitting you were actually the rock chucker is not a good look in any legal context. It should be a prison sentence all day long and definitely would be for you or me. The fact that Chair might one day play in the Premier League is not or should never be a defence. If I was the Judge, I would find such pleadings distasteful rather than a mitigating circumstance for leniency but I don't know the Belgian legal system.
Ian Gillard won 3 England caps at Left Back. Venables got 2 caps but not while playing for us. You could replace him in midfield with John Gregory even though, for some bizarre reason, Bobby Robson played him at right back! Phil Parkes played for England while at QPR but Seaman only got his when he went to the Arse I think. Also, is there a place for Rodney Marsh or Clive Allen?
I used to work with Rob Townsend who was the drummer in Family. He became a session drummer after they broke up and played on a few big hits. By the time I met him, he was running the Tours department at Wembley Stadium by day (I was a teenage Tour Guide) and gigging with Paul Jones's Blues Band at night. He was (and I presume still is) a lovely bloke with a raft of great rock and roll stories.
Dave Thomas. He was sold in 1977 (the year after our greatest ever season) while at his peak and never really replaced. Bob Latchford scored 30 goals for Everton in the 77-78 season banging in all Dave's crosses while we nearly got relegated.
