    On the subject of French singers I always enjoy listening to this bloke.

    DId younsee 30th Century Man? Oh dear. I hope all those lasses who used to swoon over him when I was a teenager saw it. Same with Andy Fairweather-Low and Peter Frampton.<laugh>

    The first time the Walker Brothers were on TV, Ready Steady Go I think, they did Pretty Girls Everywhere I Go , which Scott Walker wasn't the lead singer on. A lass at our youth club wrote Scott Walker a letter and he said it was the first fan mail he had received. Always remember it was very neat but the largest lettering I have seen.
    A couple of years later when they had made it big she received in the post two tickets for their concert at Leeds and a letter for her to be given back stage access to meet him. A great, thoughtful gesture. Poor lass died after a brain haemorrhage in her late twenties.

    The French have a particular love of a singer called Johnny Hallyday for some reason. He is known as the French Elvis, a bit like Sir Cliff in that respect in that he is our British Elvis.

    Sorry didn't read all the posts. Not been on for a bit due to beer and general fatigue.

    The last time I remember that being done was by Hungarian Puskas in an international match in the 50's.

    No link unfortunately!

    Having had the greatest pleasure of the arrival of two grandchildren in the last year and a bit, I simply had to share that to FB

    2016 hasn't been all bad <ok>
