    Bruv Sledge, is it really that long ago. I can always remember having a few beers with him at various watering holes.

    Hope you're OK my man.

    Sending you a virtual hug <3

    Ironically, it's Glioblastoma Awareness Day today. Not that you or I need our awareness raising :-(

    If I believed in a big Boleyn Arms in the Sky, I'd like to think Sledge and Grey might be watching the match later with a beer or two.

    Fame didn't change his personality in the slightest, which is a rare quality indeed. If I had to name someone who personified 'Britishness at it's best', it would be Kevin Keegan.

    Indeed, such as when he went over on a bike on a cinder track I think it was on Superstars, and got up, covered in friction burns and grazes, and went again.

    I saw an interview someone put up yesterday in which he said he is remembered for three things, his hair, his rant as Newcastle manager and falling from his bike in superstars. I also remember him for his move to Hamburg, which seemed exotic back then and gave me an interest in European club football.

    I also remember him winning (I think) European Footballer of the Year twice while at Hamburg, and then there's the connection he always seemed to have with Sir Trev whenever they played together for England.

    Wouldn't have affected us this season anyway, but if we win promotion at least we won't have to worry about this clown being in charge of us again:

    I started to write it all up, but we’d just been relegated and I thought nobody would care!

    I’ll share it later today
