I was friendly with Freddie who was Alf's brother also Bernard Raftery who commented below and Gerald and Dennis McMahon who lived at number 9. Alf bet me £2 that I couldn't drink 8 pints of Draught Double Diamond in 2 hours. I did it in 11/2 but don't remember much else and had to miss school the next day. This was in The Duke of Edinburgh in Fonthill Road and I was about 16 - 17. Alf's dad used to recite a poem about Dangerous Dan McGrew.
I always thought that The Beautiful South could've done a great version of Terry's/Colourfield "Thinking of you" this sounds a lot like their version of this song.
I loved Terry from 13 years of age I was lucky to meet him x they say never meet your hero you will only be disappointed…. He was sublime x I was not disappointed.
