    Think he offered Cantona a trial no ?
    You can imagine the face Eric pulled if that's true. Probably joined Leeds because of it in fact.

    I wouldn't dwell on it, you'd have found a way to finish fourth probably

    Plugged it into Google Images, and it actually is Jeff Lynne! According to this - https://www.mediastorehouse.co.uk/me...l?prodid=80405 - both he and his bride are big Birmingham City fans.
    Pictured left to right are Trevor Francis, Dave Latchford (obscured behind the bride), George Smith, Ray Martin and Bob Latchford.

    Great Player ~ I reckon he had already developed an ankle problem ( I think it was an ankle problem ) even before he signed for Forest ~ He didn't really totally live up to the highest levels expected of him after leaving Birmingham but did go on to do well in Italy / For England ~ I think that Ankle injury held him back a good bit from being the player he could have been ~ He looked an unbelievable prospect when playing for Birmingham as a young player.

    RIP.

    this one is hitting me hard. She was an absolute genius and had some really tough, tough times in her life. Her and Dolores gone way too soon. Irish legends.

    David McCallum aka Illya Kuryakin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illya_Kuryakin McCallum apparently got more fan mail from women for any star up to that point in Hollywood history.

    In some very successful TV series ~ The Man From Uncle ~ NCIS ~

    I liked the show ~ The Invisible Man ~ Though that was not so successful.

    A long and highly successful career ~ A lot of it in America.

    Supposed to have written the riff for Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg's "Next Episode" although I've seen it written somewhere else that it was another person.
