For me, his lasting memory will be his soundtrack to 'In the heat of the night' - one of my favourite films and Ray Charles perfect to set the mood. |

Yes, George Best that's what I thought. It's interesting how times change events like Remembrance Day. In my youth, with many families including my own, having lost loved ones relatively recently in WW2, it was a very solemn occasion and I can remember being in Trafalgar Square when everything and everyone stopped still and silent at 11 am on the day. It was just the one day then, the Sunday, now it seems to last two or three weeks. |

I commented on this on the match thread. Some folk were still clapping when the Last Post was played and I even had to politely ask some supporters behind me to stop chatting.
I think it was because the names of players from both sides who died in the wars were read out before the 'silence' and it has become increasingly common to honour the deceased with applause. Nothing wrong with that, but it was not appropriate for a Remembrance Day ceremony. |

One of my favourite films, I've watched it so many times; incredibly funny, great lines and sublime music.
Saw it when it first came out when I was on a long haul flight, best in- flight movie ever, for me. [Post edited 31 Oct 17:55]

I remember when two fans got engaged (i.e. he proposed marriage and she accepted) on the match day centre circle at LR. This was done to the accompanying song from the crowd, " you don't know what you're doing!" |

One thing I discovered was that when I had a blood test for PSA, one shouldn't have a lot of physical exercise, especially sex on the morning of the test. I'll say no more. |
