Or this quote from him.

"The problem with Nottingham Forest is you can't do much as fart in the City Ground without someone sticking their head round the door to tell you how they'd won the European Cup"

He was right, that has been a bit of a weight around their necks in some ways (not that the fans would have it any other way, and rightly so) - I wonder if a few years down the line a 21st centure Joe Kinnear will say the same about our club's greatest achievement?
 
OJ Simpson

 
The thing I remember (or don't remember correctly) is that the night that he was acquitted live on TV, I was on my way to Prenton Park to watch us beat Tranmere.

At the same time I was on my way to Turf Moor to see us watch us beat Burnley 2-0, so you probably don't remember correctly.
We had just been diverted off the M6 at J16 when the verdict came through and in my amazement I lost concentration, missed an alternative route sign (those little yellow circles, triangles, etc) and I have a distinct feeling that we went around in circles for a little while.
I do remember that we did a little celebrating after the game and we didn't leave Burnley until after midnight. **** knows what time I got back to the Kent coast after dropping people off in London.

Ahhh, That seems more likely than the Tranmere game.
Another dark night in another dark Northern town.

You took a wrong turning in your barge?

Two-legged ties back then. First leg 0-0 away, lost the home leg.

The Burnley game was certainly two-legged but I'm fairly sure the Bolton one (3rd round) wasn't.

Steve Albini

I had a chat with Keith Gregory - bass player with the Wedding Present - some years back, about working with Steve Albini. Keith Gregory was really impressed with how Albini was a really decent bloke, not harsh and abrasive (like some of Albini's music!), but he was going on about how good it was to work with him and how friendly he was.

So much good music of the tome was produced by Steve Albini.
 
All those records he produced, all those further bands he inspired - and he kept it real throughout. What a man. If anyone has had a greater influence over the underground scene, I have no idea who that is.

Gutted. Even more so as I'd never seen him play but have tickets for Shellac next month
 
This is why I love this forum.

Just been to the what are you listening to now thread to post my own little eulogy. Then I see this.

80% of people, even those my age, wouldn't have a ****ing clue who Steve Albini was.

Top class lads. Top class.
