As a 16 year old was in pub, part of the hotel they were staying in, before they played at Brid. They were very approachable, Townshend very different to some reports you read about him. Daltrey was the only one not off his face, the other three all perked up considerably after popping out for a few minutes. Read years later that Daltrey said laid off the drugs the others took and heavy boozing as they had a bad effect on his vocal chords. Moon must have overdone it as he keeled over at the end of the performance with a very heavy nose bleed.
The Who formed in the mid-sixties and claim to have been a band pretty much ever since. In that time they've not recorded one decent song. Not one. Not a single single. That's fooking impressive to be honest. Even Black Lace managed Agadoo.
. I am sure your husband remembers Johnny Whiteley was captain when another player on the team was Brian Darlington who replaced Strickland (Sgt. Major) as PE instructor at Riley High School.
Yes he remembers Brian who played on the wing and was an even time sprinter. Was at Hull from 1955 to 1959 in the period when they made 3 consecutive league championship finals and won 2 of them. Supplemented his training with vigorous ballet dance workout routines to improve his leg strength. Strickland was a legend at RHS being super fit for his age.
