Whew, though you were telling us Jack was dead too!

RIP Jocky. And thanks to Dexy's for singing about you.

:D

For those not familiar/too young to know the story, in 1982 the popular beat combo/bunch of urchins, Dexy's Midnight Runners brought out a single in homage to the legendary soul singer, Jackie Wilson, entitled Jackie Wilson Said.

Some dipshit at Top of the Pops had clearly never heard of said soul legend and thought that Dexy's must have been singing about the fat dart thrower from Kircaldy instead.

Jocky Wilson Said? :conf:

RIP Jocky Lad.

If you wanted to sum up the difference between 'sportsman' and 'athlete' Jocky was it.
