Show or No Show?
Good morning.
Just a reminder that there is NOT a Live Show on Channel 861 tonight.
The Live Show schedule will resume on Thursday & thereafter as usual.
Hopefully, we will have an excellent guest, maybe TWO excellent guests, lined up for Thursday's Show.
Swings & swongs.

I thought Peter Swan was the lad who played for Sheffield Wednesday, & got himself an 8 year ban for a bit of naughty business?
That's was a different one Tikay, 1960's wasn't it?? This Peter Swan played for Leeds in the 80's. He was basically a poor centre back who got pushed up front when we needed a late goal. And when we were really really struggling, played up front from the start on a few occasions. Yep, your Peter Swan was far more famous to anyone not following Leeds in the old Division 2.
"My" Peter Swan, yeah, he was VERY famous at the time, but he, Peter Kay & David Layne (?) all got involved in a bit of hows yer father & it came out on top.
Sir Alf Ramsey had said, prior to the scandal, that he would be a certainty to be in the England team, which later went on to win the World Cup.
The coup was, reportedly, to "throw" a game away to Ipswich Town, & Ipswich duly won it, though Peter reckoned they won on merit, but he would have deliberately conceded a penalty if he had needed to.
Quite a major story at the time.
Peter paid his bill (prison), was rehabilitated, returned to football as a player, then a manager, & eventually ran a boozer in Chesterfield.
Tragically, his son died very young, & Peter is now not a well man, he has Alzheimers I believe, poor soul.
