Singer from the band The Real Thing has died aged 74.

RIP

Did I imagine it or did they play on the pitch before a game when we were in the Premier League?

If they did it probably wasn't the Real Thing.
From Liverpool so no obvious connection.

Didn’t his brother Chris have the champion dog at crufts one year?

The Real Thing were not really "my thing", but "You to me are everything" was an excellent song in it's own way.
RIP Eddy.

RIP.

Saw the Real Thing live supporting David Essex in Carlisle in 1982.

David had given them their big break a few years earlier and they supported him and then acted as his backing group.

And yes they did appear at the Valley before a game.

One of my all-time favourites!

I also remember them performing at The Valley probably about 15 years ago. Not really sure why it happened but it was enjoyable at the time!
