Famous football connections


On the day the BBC announced ‘Capello to become England manager‘ I wondered past Ray Stubbs in Hi-St-Ken. Hmm, as I’m meeting up with a Brazlian footie coach at Xmas I’ll ask his opinion of the appt.

PS: Nice Capello trivia quiz from BBC. I got 3 out of 10 (sorry, more trivia).

Famous musical connections


By coincidence yesterday a couple of famous musical coincidences cropped up. First the death of Ike Turner, who by way of v.dry humour I took Lucy, who’d had an unhappy family life, to see on St Valentine’s Day a few years ago at Ronnie Scott’s in Soho. Secondly, I caught the BBC documentary on Pink Floyd, and caught sight of their former manager Pete Jenner, who I met v.briefly once through Red Pepper magazine back in the mid-90′s. Who knows maybe I’ll actually get to hear some music soon?
