On the radio just now they were playing The Associates and "Party Fears Two". What a cracking band they were. From Dundee I think? Although I think one of them died at a very young age. Any other bands and/or songs that people remember fondly?
Yep, they were from Dundee - Billy Mackenzie & Alan Rankine. Billy topped himself after his mammy died. Hung himself in his doo loft.
Speaking of pigeons, remember Duncan Ferguson used to race them. In fact remember the time when some wally burglar broke into big Dunc's house?? Big mistake Anyone know what became of him?
Not a song, but a blast from most people's childhood.. http://www.buzzfeed.com/samjparker/football-rules-when-youre-a-kid
I liked big Dunc,the Birdman of Barlinnie In 2001, Ferguson was the victim of a burglary attempt by two men at his then home in Rufford, between Liverpool and Preston. Ferguson confronted the pair and was able to detain one of them who subsequently spent three days in hospital.[17] The second man managed to flee but was eventually caught. Both men were sentenced to fifteen months imprisonment for their actions.
