Villa fan Mervyn King - outgoing Governor of The Bank Of England - has just been on Desert Island Disks and one of his choices was 'Rotterdam '82' sung by Doug O'Brien. Even Kirsty Young liked it! He said it it was relatively unknown but he plays it wherever he goes and it is very popular. He is right. I have searched but can't find it. Can anybody?

Can anybody?I remember asking George Gavin about this when he worked for brmb and was delighted a couple of days later when he sent me the cassette with his regards , a catchy song, better than Ricky disoni with his hey aston villa.
