He was an 'ok' player but a complete bell-end off the pitch as I recall.

Ewan MacColl - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

Not really the point you are making but Paddy would be the first to admit that he wouldn't have made it as a pro in this day and age. But to answer your question, Buckley isn't in the same league as Paddy.

We were promised a big name signing and here he is.

Diana Ross - Touch Me In The Morning

Good luck to Lancashire today in what is a huge game in the county championship. Win this one and I'll start believing.....

The Kinks -Do You Remember Walter?

RIP Lee “Scratch” Perry. Two giants of the music world gone this week after Charlie Watts.

We have plenty of things to berate the club about at the minute. However the design of this season’s kits isn’t one of them.

Dave Edmunds - I Hear You Knocking

Oasis - Roll With It

In this 'worst football in the last 50 years' debate, its difficult to define. Personally I find the slow, sideways passing that went on for much of the last two seasons very tedious and unentertaining, but as others have pointed out, even since Venkys rocked up we have had horrific spells under the likes of Appleton, Coyle, Kean and even Lambert. Prior to that Brian Kidd, Jim Iley and John Pickering served up some almighty dross, all within the past 50 years. Ultimately, at the end of the day football is a results game and we won just 2 out of 17 in one spell last season - that's pretty fucking shit by anyone's standards and bearing in mind the laborious sideways tedious 'possession' game we were deploying during that period I can certainly see why some posters hold their view of it being as bad as anything they have seen.

Its often a good toss to lose on the dark side of the Pennines. Spot on about Jimmy and Joe.

Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger

David Soul - Silver Lady

I know they are renowned for leading unhealthy lifestyles but 33 is no age. Fordham was about the same age as me I think (late 50s) but was a hefty lad.

Kyle Anderson, PDC darts professional and regular in the world championships, has died aged just 33.

The Skids - Into The Valley

The Stone Roses - Fool's Gold

Exhibit A, that Argentinian lad who has just signed for PSG.........

Sam Cooke - Chain Gang

The Police - Don’t Stand So Close To Me

Lol The Big Sound Authority - I Miss My Baby

Roxy Music - Over |You

Very brave of you to publicly admit to addiction issues, and whatever else might go on in BRFCS land, I think when it comes to something like this you will receive much empathy and support. In fact, a few posters shared stories of alcoholism and the problems it has brought to them and their families in a recent thread (apologies, I can't quite remember which one it was). This included me, who lost my older brother at the age of 41 to alcohol related illness. I wouldn't describe myself as an alcoholic but I do have a love/hate relationship with booze and I do drink too much of the hard stuff at times. Happy to listen to anything you want to talk about mate, just send a DM. I can't promise to have any answers but I can promise to be a sounding board. Good luck and well done.
