I have mentioned this before but seeing Ralph McTell on TV the other day made me look again and it has surfaced on Youtube. Think it was a lucky omen as we played it before kick off for a season and barely lost.



On a similar subject, does anyone know what the weird music we had during the final Goldstone years was? Sort of a GOSBTS remix on a Casio organ.

Beat the hell out of Bamber’s use of the Rocky theme.

Did we? Seriously? I so don't remember that! And it really is bad, considering the classic of Streets of London.

That is horrific. No wonder attendances dropped in the 80s.

It makes Chas and Dave sound like Mozart.

Hmmm, doesn't sound like that would be in Richard Lindfield's box of 45s...

Given the excellent PA system at the Goldstone surprised anyone heard it, I certainly have no recollection of it being played.

If it was played I probably blocked it out, as it's crap and that's being kind.

The Rocky theme came along after Mike Bamber went on a trip to the USA and returned with lots of 'good' ideas. Don't think it lasted long though.
As for the I'm A W*nner song, never heard it. Released in December 1984 it made number 99 in the charts and is available now on vinyl for £3.39 from Amazon (buy via this site).

I think it was played early as I remember being in the South which would mean my dad took me and he would get there early. Think it was played once and as we won, people kept requesting it.

In the East terrace with what we had of a sound system (which was no better than baked bean cans connected by strings) I couldnt tell you what was played in the 80's.

Loved that man, Richard Lindfield not Ralph McTell.
