It's not knowledge, it's opinion. Some say that froggy ditty was quite good. But, they'd be wrong. And certifiable too. You should fight your corner with more gusto!

but its not about his song writing is it the thread is about living Englishmen and as an ENGLISHMAN he has represented his country well over many years. Maybe the sad part of this thread is we have no outstanding role models maybe Gazza would be worth a shout.

I love Motorhead, but a well-known collector of Nazi memorabilia who doesn't even live in the UK and drinks at least a bottle of Whiskey a day? Perhaps not.
