When I went to the psychologist for some macho reason I never told anybody. My then missus came along later as part of my therapy, but kept it to myself. How stupid was that ! When I told my dad after about six months of counselling I thought he'd say pull yourself together etc or man up. But...

Footballers back then and before would often drink in local pubs and clubs. My dad told me Bill Glazier was a heavy drinker, and before him Arthur Lightening liked a good drink, sometimes the night before games. I often saw George Hudson with other ex City players in the Mount Pleasant pub in...

While I was seeing the psychologist after about six sessions she said out of the blue she thought my partner was not suitable for me. She had come to one of the sessions as it was part of the therapy. She told me certain people are "toxic" and will be negative and to put it bluntly bring you...

As I was always getting into trouble and ending up in prison a solicitor said I needed professional help. I laughed at him as nobody had ever mentioned that even when I was banged up inside. Anyway 20 odd years ago I saw a psychologist at Walsgrave hospital, and all she said to me was just talk...

Some regulars said he was in there often. I still am surprised how we got him from Chelsea and shows how well off we were back then to pay that amount. We were properly run though !

That's what I'm after as that was typical of Speedie. I once saw him and Benno in the Rose and Crown pub by the Forum.Benno was on crutches while Speedie was shouting loudly in the bar. I heard he liked a drink !

Going to write an article on Speedie for a football magazine. One of my favourite ever City players. Any stories or memories of the fiery player ?

Good cause but garbage football. Can't stand " celebrities" playing football, they should stick to their day jobs. Never watched this years match but guess it was as tedious as all the others. Can't stand Robbie Williams needs a good slap !

After what happened to Joshua recently who's to say the German might not cause an upset ? Can't see it happening, but in heavyweight boxing you just never know.

As he's fighting tonight Channel5 are showing an hour long documentary at 9.00 on his life and career etc. Should be an entertaining watch.

About 10 years ago there was a nationwide vote online and with musician's entering too, to choose the best single ever ? The song that got voted number one : Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys. Bono said it was the perfect song, as did numerous other musician's.

That's what I thought. But some albums have stood the test of time. Unfortunately not Pet Sounds.

Most overrated ? Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys ? Put it on the other night as hadn't heard it for a while. Got to be honest thought it was tedious. Just my opinion.

Good to see an ex Cally lad doing well. He got me and my mates into bands like Cream, Coloseum, Jethro Tull and Tangerine Dream. I think his dad was a doctor ?

Off subject a bit. When I was in my last year at Caludon Castle me and 2 other lads bunked off lessons to go round another lads house by the Painted Lady pub. He was a musician and had a great selection of records, so we just sat around his house and listened to music and him playing guitar. His...

Journey were a good band.

I'm jealous! Never saw Free. But saw Bad Company so next best thing.Paul Rogers one of the best rock/blues singers.

I said one album ! But I understand it's not easy breaking it down to one, but I like several albums yet every time I play Fire And Water I think it is as near to perfection as you can get, it's got blues, pop, and rock, the complete package.

It's not difficult. We all have one favourite album. I suppose my thread should be titled : Favourite Albums ? Then you get a long list !

Going back to Fire And Water album. The track Mr. Big for me has the best ever guitar solo featured. Check it out and hear for yourself.
