Does putting up Attila the Stockbroker in a spare room here count - as a musician, or a funny man, or a poet?!!

Cheers

Nice one Bob.

A reminder of a time when Brighton fans weren't all Kitsons.

Actually Billy, he's still a mate - along with a few others from that era. I got some nice words from them after the events at Griffin Park

By the by, for anyone who's not aware of Attila, (aka John Baine) I give you my word, you won't regret spending a few quid going to one of his gigs. He's still a real top quality, funny, brilliant, acerbic, angry socialist. And he's from Brighton at that too!

He was full of stunts during the time the Seagulls were being stiffed by Archer and Bellotti. One of 'em was to take a fairly sizable party after some away match in the NW on a bit of a detour. Oddly, they ended up outside the house of Archer whereupon Attila stood on a box and began reciting poetry! As you might imagine, the poetry was vicious, the atmosphere was humorous, the plods were confuddled and Archer was not amused! If you search the net, there'll be pics and write ups about it.

Earlier this year I picked up the future IBF World Bantamweight Champion in the Taxi, I now like to think that my pearls of wisdom contributed to him winning the world title

[BobG]

You taught him all he knows Filo.  You musta done!

Taught him how to start his victory interview, I reckon.... "I'm f*cked!"
