    I thought there was a Documentaries thread, but I cannot find it.
    Watched the Netflix Jimmy Savile documentary last night. It's inconceivable to me that he got away with what he did. The current term "Red Flag" fits in quite appropriately with his behaviour. Its an astounding documentary, albeit angering, frustrating and emotive.
    Well worth a watch. Amazing how many times he alludes to "my case is Next Thursday!".
    Look out for Absolute DJ Richie Firth making a cameo.

    I am a bit of an ignoramous when it comes to international football. Are Fer Chrisekes in the Greek League?

    Name me a great keeper who was beating out other great keepers for England.
    He was number 1 for over two decades. 

    I'm not saying his best days weren't behind him, but he was still exceptional.
    I didn't go admittedly, but I remember Graham Richards saying his performance away at Newcastle was the greatest goalkeeping perofmance he had ever seen.
    And no way was Graham prone to hyperbole!
     
    I think playing for a national team like England a record amount of times and over a 20 year period says something personally.
    But hey, that's just me.
    Charlie was the architect of his own downfall, his talent was never in question. Kevin, who I loved, was borderline international calibre. He probably should have had a few more cpas and would have done in this day and age with the way they rotate players. But it was more scandalous to Derby fans than football fans.
    I don't remember CB ever seriously being in the conversation to usurp Banks, Shilton or Clemence tbh. In fact, I'm pretty sure Bonetti was much more highly regarded by most fans not supporting the Rams.
    I bet if you asked 100 pros from the 70s to name the best keeper of that period, maybe 1 would mention Colin Boulton.
    And that would be Colin Boulton.
    Him, Roy Mac, and Ronnie Webster were friends with my old man, so I love him, and would love to agree because he was a very good keeper, but Shilts, even by the time he came to Derby, was still better.
    Of course, it's all just opinions anyway.

    Watched it again last night. Knowing the ending didn't detract from it one iota.

    It's an utter gut-wrencher, and I need a fresh box of tissues every time I watch.
    (The same can be said for other movies - just not in the same way).

    Agreed, Peter Daniel was great stepping in for Roy Mac, but no way was he better than Toddy.
    And fwiw and imho, Peter Shilton was a class above Colin Boulton and a fair bit better than Mart Poom.
    Both the latter two were good keepers.
    Shilton had 125 caps for England, CB 0.
    That many managers over that length of time aren't wrong.
    And if not for Clemence and the stupid swapping each game, Shilts would have been up around 175.

    To be fair, poty tends to go to the player that’s tried the hardest and put a shift in consistently, not necessarily the most glamorous or obvious players. So it’s not that surprising.

    Saw The Buzzcocks at the Top Rank in Sheffield in 1979. Best band I've ever seen live.
    Brilliant chemistry between Diggle and Shelley. 
    It didn't harm that Joy Division were the support band mind you.
    Pete Shelley was a hero of mine, not only a brilliant lyricist, but a really nice down-to-earth guy.
    I'd still go and see them, but few bands come out here. Having to travel to London to see The Damned in October and Birmingham to see The Cure in December.

    Sadly not. It's a shame as the producers' greed has somewhat diminished its legacy.

    I enjoyed the final season, but if you think the first two episodes are self-indulgent (which they are, to be fair), then I wouldn't bother carrying on. Not much changes.

    That was the track that got me into The Undertones.
    I must have heard Teenage Kicks on Peel as it was his all-time fave track and I listened to him religiously, but Get Over You had me running out to buy the album and going to see then at Top Rank in Sheffield.

    But I think my favourite by them was:

    I just knew this thread would descend into people giving lists.
    I started a record shop purely because I loved music so much and I listen to at least 4 hours of Spotify per day with very little being nostalgic stuff (that I do still love btw), so no way am I going to say one track.
    According to Spotify this track is the one I listened to more than any last year, but I'd be stunned if anybody in this thread has ever heard of Eris Drew.
    I'm a sucker for this kind of spoken word sample on trippy tracks.
