I hesitate to confess that I once had a slash next to Gary Glittter at Wembley during a Queen concert (1986) ....

nah, doesn't sound good, reading it back.

You were you.

He was a completely compromised and expertly undercover child sex offender, headlining and playing the gig.

I don’t see anything you could have done differently, Mister E.

Let yourself off.
many thanks, Lou!

That must have been traumatic. A Queen concert?
Haha, touché.
The year after LiveAid, it was very good, as I recall.

All I can say about the incident in said pissoir was that Paul Gadd is very short (no wonder he popularised the platform boots of the Glam Rock era) ....

One of the best gigs I ever saw was Gary Glitter, round about 1984.

Do other forums go off on such bizarre tangents as H&V?

Possibly, but I like to think we do it far, far better than most.

I've just remembered I once met Small Heath legend (he once scored a goal against the Villa) Andy Kennedy after Frank Worthington's Small Heath v Villa testimonial at the sty in May 1986. My only memory of the meeting is that it was a hot day and he was wearing leather trousers. That day I also overheard Graham Turner tell somebody he was going to scout a possible new signing at the Scottish Cup final. Which presumably turned out to be Neale Cooper.

Did the undead give Worthington more than one testimonial? I seem to remember going to one at the Sty in Summer 1991 when Villa provided the majority of a Ron Atkinson International XI which also included Kevin Keegan and George Best.

I don’t think the Out Islanders ever bettered this Polynesian Fantasy Album.

I doubt it. I can't believe he got a testimonial at all for three years service to the club. I have no recollection whatsoever of us playing them in summer 1991.

It was for this game

https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/FRANK-WORTHINGTON-BENEFIT-BIRMINGHAM-CITY-V-A-RON-ATKINSON-INTERNATIONAL-XI-/162838210595#vi__app-cvip-panel

I don't think all the players listed actually turned up because I definitely remember Best and Keegan playing as well as Ian Ormondroyd.
