Unfortunately I never saw the Lemmy / Philthy / Fast Eddie line up, was Lemmy / Phil Campbell / Mikkey Dee by the time I saw them, best live gig I have been to. It's a shame that all of them have gone within a year of so of each other and at no real great age, although I'm sure Lemmy making it to 70 was a bit of a miracle!

My mums favorite band so when she passed away it became difficult to listen to those great albums ... still is. On the Threshold of a Dream a great album and maybe a great metaphor for BCFC in 18.

The Moody Blues were one of my favourite groups, and I still listen to their albums when I am alone and just want to relax with some soothing music - an awful stereotype, I know, but it always amuses me to think that such harmonious melodies emanate from a group whose origins were in Birmingham. As an aside, I take great comfort in reminiscing and listening to music from my late father's favourite singers/groups - often a tearful experience, but one in which I immerse myself frequently.

Legend and ambassador of the game. Quite rightly, a hero to many. Brilliant quote on the BBC about him: "Regis was a gentle man away from football but such was his threat on the field, particularly when subjected to heavy physical attentions from opponents, that opposing managers used to specifically instruct their players not to upset him or annoy him in any way as the results could be devastating."
