FA Cup Final Grandstand 2020

I don't know if Slade are Wolves fans but the opposite seems to be true. Bohs played Wolves in a friendly as part of the Stephen Ward transfer agreement. At half time in friendlies we always try to play a song from the opposition home town, so we stuck on Far Far Away for them, it got a very positive reaction on the day and online later.

I just wanted to post a picture of Noddy Holder looking like a mass murderer.

The mirrored top hat tends to undermine that somewhat.

Not really. That would be the reverse-Tooth Fairy - you see your reflection as he murders you.

Such an underrated song, with some terrific lyrics.

He looks like a murderer in a mirrored top hat. It's a theme that has come up more than a few times on the Chartmusic podcast. The Incredible hardness, and suppressed violence of a lot of 60's and 70's british light entertainment people.

And of course before Slade's glam years there was the skinhead phase:

Noddy's a Wolves man if this is to be believed:

but Duncan Gardner might be able to confirm or otherwise.

Aye, Holder's a Dingle. Also claims to be a big cricket fan.

I'd go for the Sweet as the most psychotic looking Glam band.

In the 80s, UB40 were widely rumoured to have gangland connections.

In another sport/ music/ cartoon violence link, I chatted briefly to the Stranglers guitarist while queueing at the ice cream van at Lord's. He had a Huge Cornetto

Whilst we’re on the subject of the Black Country clubs, I did a summer in Tenerife back in 2009. Worked with a girl called “Molly” from Dudley. Well, we thought her name was Molly. When her parents come out for a weekend, we found out her name was actually Molineux but she shortened it to Molly, as you would.

[Duncan Gardner]

Ha ha. Could be Millie too (Molineux = water mills)

Chatting to a group of England and Albion fans in a Lyon bar during Euro 2016

DG: Why the glum faces lads? We're drinking beer in the South of France surrounded by beautiful girls with a month of football to watch

E/A: It's different for yow, trip of a lifetime, ye can't lose either way. Whereas were about to be outclassed by Iceland...

[Jah Womble]

I'd go for the Sweet as the most psychotic looking Glam band.

Sweet were all very well-groomed, though, and had a 'cute' lead singer: I reckon that the Glitter Band were far more psychotic-looking. (And don't get me started on Chicory Tip, etc.)

in fairness there's eight of them!

Plus, as DG alludes, they were *seriously* connected. It was an open secret that you really didn't f*** with UB40.

[Duncan Gardner]

Glitter Band had a residency at my South London local in the late 80s. The sax player and one of the 2 drummers were well gnarled as Jah says

[Jah Womble]

Something that the liberal application of Boots #7 only enhanced, IMO.

(To a lesser extent, see also: Mott The Hoople. But they had the excuse of being great.)

Yeah, I'd go along with 'cute'...

[Giggler]

Shakin' Stevens could definitely take care of himself. My aged Ted brother-in-law has known him from their scene for years, and judging from his stories, you do not fuck wifh Shaky.

As for the Gallaghers, from my experience you always had to be wary with the Irish families in northern England. Sure they might look soft themselves, but there's 4 or 5 brothers, plus between 10 and 20 cousins all looking out for each other and one of them is bound to be handy.

Richard Madeley shouldn't have fucked with Shaky, as he found out on telly:

[Jah Womble]

^One of my favourite clips, that. (What was he thinking??)

Yeah, I'd go along with 'cute'...

Brian C was a good-looking boy, no question about that.

But you'd want to watch out if you had long black hair...

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

There's an episode of chart music where they describe Shaky snaking his leg around the neck of DLT (I think) and playfully strangling him. I wonder was that before or after Shaky had passed him out in the whole appearances on TOTP thing.

[Nocturnal Submission]

I seem to remember that Connolly got into a fight/got jumped and was badly beaten up, including getting kicked in the throat, an assault that seriously affected his singing voice.

[3 Colours Red]

But you'd want to watch out if you had long black hair...

Thank fuck I started going grey before growing mine out. I'd be useless in a fight - no co-ordination and all fat and gristle.
