RIP To Those Departed

[1964white]

Jim McLean.

One of the few who came close to breaking the Old Firm monopoly in Scotland,

I remember their run to the Uefa Cup Final, iirc it was their 55th game of the season and his squad were absolutely done in.

RIP Jim

Never came across as the type of manger you’d mess with if you were one of his players

Like you’ve said Ian other than Fergie at Aberdeen the only one in the last few decades to the challenged and beaten the two Glasgow giants.

Rest in Peace. Jim mc lean a terrific manager & what a side he helped build.
Saw them way back 84/85 season could name the majority of that side. Entertaining ,classy and some right attacking flair. They had the lot and a joy to watch.
May you rest in peace Mr.mc Lean.

Just heard that Tommy Docherty died, RIP.
Great manager and a good fella.
He produced some great attacking footy at Man U, aptly demonstrated by Gordon Hill and Steve Coppell

[1964white]

I remember Tommy Doc resigning on a Friday, the day before Chelsea were due Leeds at ER, their players were shellshocked

Leeds thumped them 7-0

What memories for a 12yo kid that still lives with me to this day

RIP Tommy

A good few years ago I saw Tommy D, together with Malcolm Allison in one of those ‘evening with’ type shows.

A funny man with some great stories from his many years in management.

RIP Tommy

RIP Tommy Docherty. A terrific manager and a true football legend..
Once asked about upcoming opposition he retorted: they have weaknesses ..( but I cant find them).

I use to have all the Gerry & the Pacemakers hit singles in my collection.

The new bulletins are showing a clip from Top Of The Pops, I rarely missed TOTP's during the 60's/70's.

Gerry's records or TOTP's Billie ?

Gerry's records or TOTP's Billie ?

He produced some of Gerry’s records . He was a record producer back in the day called Ron Richards . I went to school with his younger son who I have been friends with ever since . Ron was a brilliant man and very modest . There was no clue around his house about what he did for a living or his achievements which were considerable . I found an article in the Independent about him which I thought might interest you ( Ron is the man wearing glasses in the photo )

I was a bit young for G&TPM 64 but love that Mersey sound, being born in 62 I was fully on board with Beatlemania.

I have a strong Mersey connection on my Mam's side as she was born in Birkenhead, and we used to visit a lot and catch the ferry to Liverpool. During one visit, as a six year old, we had heard the Beatles were staying at the Adlephi Hotel, so I asked my parents to go and take me to meet them. They refused, so I got my coat and ran off to catch the ferry. My mother caught up with me and we then went and stood outside the Adelphi all day, but never saw hide nor hair of any Beatles

Echo and the Bunnymen have always been one of my favourite bands, the fab 4 of my generation
Mainly got John Peel to thank for my musical taste.
Scousers are good folks.

Our whole family used to sit and watch TOTP every week, better times mate

The Killing Moon and The Cutter are two of my all time favourite tracks.

Well said Chilli, Heaven Up here is one of my fave albums and Killing Moon their best single.

Maccas voice has gone with all the ciggies and booze though.
