I'm enjoying the process of doing this list hwich is leading me to listen to more music than I have been, even if it is mostly flicking through my back pages.Séamus Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574186409184247059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500794647428701667.post-71797262649418697442013-02-07T09:39:25.882+00:002013-02-07T09:39:25.882+00:00I know what you mean although since doing the blog...I know what you mean although since doing the blog my interest and energy has picked up again . Part of the reason I started it was I realised that most of he cds I bought were by x former lead singer of y , or the comeback cd of z.

Coming from where George came from I'd say being hard wasn't a choice. What a player. My personal favourite is the time he nicked the ball from Gordon Banks when playing for Northern Ireland against England. It was wrongly disallowed, which seems somehow apt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D8IW_3_6D8Séamus Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574186409184247059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500794647428701667.post-85364937740109234532013-02-06T14:31:39.377+00:002013-02-06T14:31:39.377+00:00New to me Seamus.

This will fill my next sleepless night.<br />Sad about Georgie; these days every flick and step over are captured in digital clarity to attest to the 'genius' of (often) average talents. I shudder to think what percentage of Best's best moments have been caught on tape. The stories that people still tell about his mercurial talents are proof of the affection that his skills and charisma evoked. I love the 'where did it all go wrong' story; hope it's true.<br />He was apparently also hard as nails; second only to Frank Stapleton...<br />He'd put the Drogbas of this world to shame,,,Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.com
