    Oh dear Chuck Berry, My Ding A Ling!



    But as I'm currently in the US I'll claim Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now!

    'kinell....Vera Lynn: Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart "based on sheet music sales". Really cheered me up that has. First City game- John Leyton "Johnny Remember Me". Midweek v Watford. We won and I am convinced the referee was "Mr N Callendar" or somesuch but that is probably false memory syndrome.

    The number one when I was born is not certain because there was a newspaper and journalists' strike which prevented all publications going to the press. But it was as probably sodding Cliff Richard. I realise this exercise is going depress some of us nigh old farts. Thankfully I got into loads of great music from aged 12 until now.

    My first game was 2nd v 1st in the old Division 2. November 3rd 1987 - Hull City 0-0 Bradford City. (I still have the program)

    And as I recall both teams went into terminal decline for a long time after this - despite occupying the top 2 positions at this point in the season. Both dropped away during the season and then subsequently down the divisions for the next decade.

    Quite ironically then, the no. 1 at this point was Bee Gees - You Win Again. <laugh>

    Seems the charts only started in UK in 1952, so there was no chart when I was born:emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Just found this, it tells you what film was No.1 at the box office. Sadly, it only appears to be the US box office, but is still interesting.

    Mine was Billy Madison, apparently. One of the rare Adam Sandler comedies people actually like.

    I think it is rubbish, but people seem to like it.

    His only good comedy is Happy Gilmore. And maybe The Wedding Singer.

    It's a classic. Though it is a bit long.
