Canned Heat - On The Road Again

Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al

What a fascinating read relating to Jimmy Costley and Blackburn Olympic. Winning the F.A. Cup and what life was like back then as a footballer. Imagine having to walk a mile to have a wash after playing a match. Today’s prima donnas just wouldn’t cope. After last night’s feeble performance, I would have made everyone, including Tony, walk back home from Huddersfield. Keep it coming darrenrover, these are hidden gems from our illustrious past.

Roberta Flack - Killing Me Softly

Neil Young - Rockin’ In The Free World

Not as long as Tony’s been in his bubble.

Just watching the Big Bash- Perth v Adelaide. Commentator talking to Barrow born Liam Livingstone who asks him which footy team he supports, Blackburn Rovers he replies. He said after a couple of dodgy seasons we are now on our way back. I think he may have been out in the sun too long.

The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever

It certainly is. I used to walk past the ground every day on my way to junior school at St. Barts. The memories come flooding back.

Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight

Yes, he was a great batsman of the mid 60-70’s. He scored a massive 310 not out against the Kiwis In 1965, hitting 52 4’s, the highest number in any Test innings. R.I.P. John.

The Alan Parsons Project - I Wouldn’t Want To Be Like You

Crystal Gayle - Talking In Your Sleep

Clint Eastwood - I Talk To The Trees My favourite actor. This is my 1000th post. I first came across this thread at the start of lockdown with no more than 50 posts. I really enjoy testing my music knowledge with you all and it helps make the days pass by in an enjoyable way. I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and New Year and hope things improve into 2021 for everyone and our beloved Rovers. Cheers everyone 🥳
