    I was just wikipedia-ing Macca (as I do most Sunday evenings) when I came across a bit about his footballing history.

    He was an Everton fan but apparently became a Liverpool fan after striking up a friendship with Dalglish.

    BUT THEN IT SAYS...

    In 2010, there was heavy speculation surrounding McCartney that he was to head up a consortium launching a take-over bid for struggling Charlton Athletic. Links between the club and the famous musician go a long way back with Charlton's famous supporters anthem – Valley, Floyd Road – using the tune and a number of lyrics from the Wings song "Mull of Kintyre".[217]


    Now I don't remember this so I clicked the footnote 217 - it takes you to an old 606 rumours thread!

    Can't believe I regularly used Wikipedia for my Uni work...

    In all fairness, the signing of Jacko and Kyle Reid was true, as was the sale of Bailey and Semedo, and kinda Youga?

    How on earth did the copyright laws allow McCartney to get away with nicking the tune "Valley Floyd Road"?
