I wish that people who upload videos on you tube would bother uploading the whole lot. tut tut.
I like the Christy Moore Baron Raggle Taggle Gypsy.
And Philip, Nottingham Forest - why oh why?
Simon, it's a long story really, but thanks to long-term Forest fan Darryl Hunt, I first saw them play in the 88/89 season when they had their Stuart Pearce-led glory team. In keeping with all the doctrines and theologies advanced by the late Mr Clough, they played football on the ground ("If God had meant us to play football in the air, he'd have put a pitch up there" - Clough) in a beautiful, confident, fluid passing motion that I found completely beguiling. With the hard-but-fair ethic and workrate of Pearce to spur them on, I had never seen anything as graceful or athletic in my life.
Ok, I know that's not how they play these days, and there are teams I'd rather watch, but old loyalties die hard. Stuart remains a friend (and a Pogues fan) and is mentioned in The Radiators from Space song "Joe Strummer". I had the great pleasure of introducing Greatest Living Englishman Pearce to (then) Greatest Living Englishman Strummer to each other in a Pogues' dressing room in Derby. Only one of them had not heard of the other at that point. None of this is in the song, by the way.
