I bet his stats look even better if people realise that although he will have played 100 games, he will not have played the full 90 minutes in some of them.

Marvellous stats man!

[Southport - TOWNER]

Jim - you said on another thread you had a life..... you sure

 

ps happy new year, are we going to see you this season?

[Jim Cunneen]

I have just been asked if Rudi scoring in 5 consecutive league games is a ETFC record......

 

Answer no.

 

Danny clarke scored in 6 consecutive ESL games in September 2001. So keep going rudi....

 

 

Answer to whether you will see me this season. Problem is work and silly hours and I tend to be either reffing or helping out with Leonard Stanley FC. I do intend to make an appearence at Corby though all being well....

Memories are funny things

 

Here I am trying to write a report with a deadline for tomorrow listening to a Beatles compilation and they have just played Hey Jude. My mind raced back to the Baseball Ground Semi-final of the trophy against Skelmersdale and queuing to go in the chant was Na Na Nana Na Na Nana Hey Hey Peter Feeley etc. Now if Rudi scores tomorrow I suggest an chant of Na Na Nana Na Na Nana Hey Hey Rudi Hall etc.

 

Just for us old fogies.

 

Better get on with my report.

[Southport - TOWNER]

You betta get behind the goal and start that chant!

Would rather leave the Beatles out of the Brimerbau thanks, most overated, overhyped pop band of all time.

[Steph]

You may be right for the first few records but their later work was excellent. They improved with time whereas The Stones got worse with time.

 

Anyway they weren't as overhyped as the Bay City Rollers. I bought the wife "The best of Jackie" for christmas and none of the Beatles are in it. There are Gary Glitter, Osmonds, BCR, David Casssidy, Partridge Family etc. above and other overhyped bands.

 

The Beatles were original and they became successful because of talent and whilst, eventually, the media caught on who had heard of Epstein before the Beatles and Decca, I think, turned them down. They were getting immense crowds in Hamburg and The Cavern before the media caught on.

" One of the myriad bands thrust onto the British glam scene as it approached its end in the mid-'70s, Kenny was generally regarded, alongside

the Bay City Rollers and Slik, as simply another in a long line of acts created by master songwriters Bill Martin and Phil Coulter. In fact, although the five-piece group's best-known material was indeed the work of that pair, Kenny's Rick Driscoll and Yan Stile were also very competent songwriters in their own right, as the group's final few releases proved.

 

Indeed, the group had already existed for some three years before Martin and Coulter first encountered them. Under the name Chufff, the quartet were regulars on the free festival progressive rock circuit, playing alongside such stalwarts as Hawkwind and the Edgar Broughton Band. They were discovered by Martin and Coulter in late 1974 -- according to legend, the band was rehearsing in a banana warehouse in the north London suburb of Enfield at the time and their initial response to the songwriters' overtures were disdainful.

 

Martin and Coulter would not take no for an answer. They had recently recorded a new version of a song previously cut with the Bay City Rollers, a dance number called "The Bump," and were anxious to find a ready-made band to promote it on television. Indeed, the record had already been released and seemed destined for a chart entry. Assured of stardom, Chufff agreed to become Kenny.

 

In the event, stardom was to prove extremely fleeting. While the group certainly garnered some publicity from the Kellogg's cereal company's objections to the band's "K" logo and "The Bump" made number three in early 1975, the group enjoyed just three further British hits, all penned by Martin-Coulter: the number four smash "Fancy Pants," "Baby I Love You OK" (number 12), and "Julie Ann" (number ten). Neither were Rick Driscoll and Yan Stile's own songwriting efforts to reap any benefits. Kenny recorded just one of the duo's own songs, "Happiness Melissa," as the B-side to the late-1975 flop, "Nice to Have You Home."

 

The under-performance of Kenny's debut album furthered the band's desire to extricate themselves from their predicament and, in late 1976, Kenny went to court to free themselves from Martin-Coulter. They then signed to Polydor and recorded a new, all original, album, Ricochet, and the single "Hot Lips." Neither drew any attention whatsoever and when a serious road accident put Stile out of action, Kenny folded. They have never reformed. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide "

The scouse duo should have stuck to writing.
I still believe they sound awful, like a bad pub band, but wrote some wonderful lyrics.
Ringo Starr?... possibly the worst drummer in the world ever.
McCartney then went on to form wings, enough said I think, and what was Linda doing in that band?
The Stones although should now retire gracefully, were much more exciting, vibrant, original, and the 1982 "Start me up" album was a quality album from a band that really had seen better days.
