Minella Crooner being sold at auction along with music drive on Thursday. What's the odds on JP getting his chequebook out.

I think Gordon Elliott has done well to get music drive into a position where he can be competitive in a cheltenham handicap(only 1 more hurdle run required), I think it will be very telling who purchases him. Currently available @ 20/1 any race with Hills

The Cheltenham Exchange Vs. The Fat Jockey Podcasters. It will be like reliving the testosterone and alcohol fuelled 90's rivalry of Blur Vs. Oasis - but a little less attractive! :afro: :very_drunk:

….I’m sure I was at that game, as I was for the midweek game at WHL in ‘85 when Everton won & virtually secured the title against a very good Tottenham side. Sheedy couldn’t run very fast but was a genius with that left foot. He’s had Bowel cancer in recent years, good to see him in in the last few days looking so well & I expect he’ll be over at Fairyhouse today.

Great news that he's on the mend. Seem to remember that Sheedy was actually born in Wales! Boy we missed out on another fine left winger there!!!

Remember watching him play for Hereford United (his first club) as a teenager. United won the old Third Division at the time and wound up playing Wolves and Chelsea in Division Two (now the Championship) which was a step too far. But it was epic for a side who'd ploughed their furrow in the Southern League before that amazing victory over Newcastle Utd in the FA Cup (I was in the Meadow End with my mates) persuaded the football league to let them in. I think Kevin went to school in Hereford and played for the local Lads Club side before United gave him a chance. Strong for his age and great left foot even then.

Ah that would make sense, as I think he was born in Builth Wells, so Hereford would probably be the nearest big town.
