You are not alone.

But also saw them at the Irish Embassy in London later on in my career.

And my fave memory is singing along to Harry's Game in my office in Reading in the late 80s - only to be told by my colleague Brian that the song was in gaelic and why was I singing English words?!

"Walk through the door".....

Very sad to hear of the passing of Moya (Maire) Brennan of Clannad.

A band I spent a lot of time to listening to when I was younger - and she had such a beautiful voice.

In a Lifetime with Bono is a classic - but there are many.

I saw them at Albert Hall with my mum.......

Heard two radio news bulletins today say that oil had "dropped well below the 100 dollar a barrel mark".

What does 'well below' mean?

Turns out it's 94/95. Well-below to me is 70.

Whilst the price will fluctuate - why not be specific?

Vague news scripts like that are lazy.

Listening to Richard Allinson on Greatest Hits radio is such a delight

When he does Popmaster he actually talks to the caller and responds - rather than just asking the same four questions

Poor old Archie 🙃 My fave player

True or not, I love the story.

I was a fan of his - and went to see him play for Bulgaria v France at Euro 96 (at a half empty St James' Park) proudly wearing my Reading shirt. Shortly after he left the club.

A Bulgaria legend and far too young at 63 to no longer be with us.

It was said that Bobbi had watched the play-off final at Wembley on video when deciding to join Reading, thinking that was our home ground. When he turned up at Elm Park he was just a little shocked!

He ended up making just 24 appearances for us. And that might be why.

There was much chatter about his hair - and the fact it was probably a risk for a goalkeeper to have a wig....but it was the subject of his signing that garnered much attention in the months later.

Bobbi was signed in 1995 to replace the legend Shaka Hislop, who had left after the 4-3 play-off final defeat to Bolton Wanderers (a game that Carl Hartley will no doubt remember fondly - but was one of my worst ever football days).

Sad to hear of the passing of Bulgaria legend and former Reading FC goalkeeper Borislav Mihaylov.

His death has reminded me that he was the subject of my favourite football 'story'.
