Ah the '70's, the heyday of the jingle - how many of these lyrics were amended for our amusement?

The original choon & lyrics were written for a British Airways ad and I was wondering who wrote them, turns out it was a guy called Jake Holmes who also wrote Dazed and Confused, the Led Zeppelin song - six degrees of separation and all that!

I heard his wife on Radio Scotland only a couple of weeks ago. She has written a book about his life & wasnt aware how much he had done in the football world.

RIP Jimmy.

He did a lot for the game. He will be best known up here though for winding up Scotland fans. Something that's entirely commendable.

Listened to that interview completely by chance when driving one afternoon, it was very sad.

Thoughts with his family, not only now but also what they have gone through with his ever increasing dementia.
