One of our own, our older posters will remember him; Len Sharpe, 88 - a full back, bought from Scunny in 1962 for the princely sum of £750, stayed till '66 when he left to join Goole Town. I had the pleasure of working with him for many years on Scunny Steel works, he was a very good mechie fitter - a mine of footballing information with some great tales of his time here at City; a real gent.

RIP Lennie
Agree, still have his autograph.

Obviously not to everyone's taste, but they were a good pop band in their day. Got well and truly shafted with their earnings and should have being multi millionaires but never got paid a penny in 25 years.

**** me, I'd forgotten how good this was.


It was long ago and it was far away,

And it was so much better than it is today.

The first time I saw, or heard, Meatloaf was in that gig when it was performed on TV, it completely blew me away. I went straight out the next day and bought the album Bat Out Of Hell, I still love it just as much today, and know it word for word after all these years. Thanks for posting the clip Ern <ok>
 
Folajimi Olubunmi-Adewole, known as Jimi, a 20 year old who drowned in the Thames on Saturday night on his way home from work, after diving in to try and save a woman he saw fall off London Bridge.

Was going to post about him. Scant consolation for his dad to be told he must be a good guy to have raised such a son.
