Yep looking forward to it.

I hope to watch it - thought he was the most charismatic player of them all.
Just such a shame he chose the same path as Besty, Gazza, Jim Baxter et al.

Understandably he chose that path if his mates were owt to go off.

I missed the first 10 minutes of this, so I don't know if there was any mention of Accy at the start; there was certainly no reference in the part that I did catch. There were, however two segments of interviews with Higgins which I'm quite sure took place in the old Elite because I'm sure I saw the town hall through the background window.

No matter; he's now gone through the Pearly Gates. I wonder if, by any chance, the People's Champion has met up with the People's Princess? Maybe she's asked for a frame or two in return for giving him one over the snooker table..

What a primitive view of afterlife you have.
How can he manage that when he doesn't have 'tackle' any more?

Did you not see the interview for the old Look North programme it showed a few clips from it. It was done up the Elite. I am sure I saw you and me sitting at the window with a bottle of Coke and a Mars bar.

It's where the interviewer and Alex were leaning over a snooker table. You could see the Town Hall through the window and at one point you could see the word ELITE in the window.

Aye, i thought there was something familiar about those two dodgy characters in the background. And of course, it was Accy railway viaduct, complete with a backdrop of chimneys.
