Roger Waters wrote the song but his voice was gone at the time of recording and so Roy Harper actually sang the recorded track. The clue about 'Hats off', referred to the last track of the Led Zeppelin 3 album - 'Hats off to (Roy) Harper'. As a sixteen year old Harper joined the RAF but became so disillusioned with it that he feigned madness in order to get a discharge - this was via one of those horrible electroconvulsive shock treatments (unbelievable that this was used). He got his discharge and became 'sane' again overnight. One of Britain's most underrated singer/songwriters - widely respected by other musicians, but never really getting the public acclaim he was due. Over to you.

What Hornet played whilst under the influence?

Quite a few were under the influence of GT. :emoticon-0100-smile My guess would be Mo Johnson who was well known for liking a drop or two. Of course it could have been Neil McBain who played for and managed the club. He had a reputation for having a problem with the drink in his second spell as manager, but I don't know if he had it as a player.
 
I am off to London in the morning..... and this has fazed everyone the answer is:

  • Oct 28 1903 … New Brompton were beaten 2-1 in a Cassio Road friendly. The referee subsequently reported to the club that Bert Banks had played in the match while drunk.

Anyone can start a new question..... over to ? ;)
