50 years ago I lived not far from Graham Parker,who himself IIRC was living just round the corner from the Seven Stars.
Huge relief in the neighbourhood when he finally left the area . He was fine, but those kids of his...

Meanwhile, has the retained list been issued yet?

Yep! There's probably a lot of players from that era that are thankful that Twitter and suchlike were not about...
