RIP Jimmy Armfield. He was England captain back when I first started being interested in football and, like Jimmy Greaves, missed out on a World Cup place through injury. A sad loss to the game...
An English footballing man of an English football generation the likes of which we’re unlikely to see again in this day of Premier League millionaires, divers, peacocks and foreign imports.
Well, that’s a bit of totally English eccentricity and unique genius gone. Huge respect Mark E Smith. Container Drivers.
Spent a happy 30 minutes just reading Fall song titles last night, while listening to This Nation’s Saving Grace. To Nk Roachment:Yarbles. New Face in Hell I am Damo Suzuki Why are people Grudgeful? Mere Pseud Mag Ed The list is huge, and mysterious. Brilliant.
For any Fall fans, Radio 6 have been playimg his stuff all day, and have just started an hour long special on Mark E Smith and his musical legacy.
