    Don't remember that as a 60's hit either. :(

    In fact, to 'my mind', it wasn't a hit at all...

    No, not that.

    I'm surprised you didn't pick up the clue in my last reply - just needs one word added to get the answer...

    Are we talking about the Small Faces here ? In which case Steve Marriott admitted using the melody from 'Gloria' in the song 'My mind's eye'.

    Cheers BB. Another musical one here. Whose first solo album was the only one in history to feature both Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton as supporting guest musicians on the same album ?

    Ooh - I think I used to have the album in question. 'Love the one you're with' was a favourite song of mine from 1970 - and was the first track on Stephen Stills debut album Stephen Stills?

    Well, that one didn't last long. It was indeed the only album featuring both Hendrix and Clapton - though I actually think Stills was a better guitar player than either of them. Over to you BB.

    A former footballer, a very handy centre half, who started his career with Watford then made a name for himself with three London clubs, was born with the surname Sealy. When his father died, his mother remarried and he took his step-father's name. Who was he?

    Is this Terry Mancini who played for us, Leyton Orient, Arsenal and QPR?

    That's the one. I could never understand why we released him, especially when he made a name for himself at Arsenal - and won international caps for Ireland.

    Over to you...

    I'm not a boxing fan but was there a boxing connection with the Mancini family? I'm sure I remember a pub in Fulham with photographs and memorabilia related to their exploits? I might have dreamed it of course <laugh>

    There was a Dennie Mancini who was a respected corner man working with a lot of top British boxers who was part of a large boxing family. His day job was as landlord of the Lord Palmerston pub in the King's Road. Could that have been the pub?

    And from there I found a link to the answer to my puzzle (why did we let him go?) It seems he suffered a serious injury and gave up playing for a while....
