First for me would be either Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery or Michael Caine. I only found out the other day that Little Richard was still alive - he`s 87.

I was there, on the balcony.......I thought it was going to collapse ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted December 25, 2019 Report Share Posted December 25, 2019 Vera Lynn has to be odds on. Shit, this seems so bad Dame Vera and the old Duke of putting his foot in it, are like WBA and Leeds. Not really worth backing. And let's go for Keith Richards as my Fulham.

I don’t think we’ll exclude the ill, we’ll go roughly with the old TFF rules which were 1 point for 80+ 2 points for under 80-70 and 3 for anyone below 70. Select a joker for double points (only get one per year) and only conditions you can’t pick yourself or assist in any of your picks death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a clever song writer with wonderful play on words. The Beeb should repeat The Innes Book of Records series . RIP (the outro ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
