The Dolman Pragmatist Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 I read that Lord Lucan's death certificate has been issued at last. City fans with very long memories may remember that a news item on 'Not The Nine O Clock News' back in or around 1979, read by Mel Smith, was "Late news: Lord Lucan has been found. He's been playing centre-forward for Bristol City". This was in our Division One days, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
