Delighted to see the popular Scottish A&M label 1970’s duo have reformed and taken up a career in football with us.....and both getting on the score sheet as well......though they were of course on very different type of score sheets back then.
As a footnote, Graham Lyle lives in Bickley......he loves a pint and is often to be found out and about in Bromley, The Red Lion being one of his favourites. He wrote “ What’s love got to do with it” for Tina Turner......god knows how much he has earned from the royalties and publishing rights over the years, it must be in the millions! A really charming fella and family man......unfortunately not interested in football.

Also, I think Benny Gallagher lives in Bromley. Saw him a few years ago in a small club and he was good value, down-to-earth and suitably self-deprecating about no longer being a 'star' ("I used to employ someone to carry my wallet")

Tom McGuinness (ex-Manfred Mann) and Hughie Flint (ex-John Mayall) teamed up with Gallagher and Lyle in the 1970s. Tom lived in Blackheath and Ladywell - and was married to my sister. A lovely chap, entirely down-to-earth and always convivial.

Did you know Geoff Saynor?
The name is very familiar but from a LONG LONG time ago .. Geof Sainter as I knew him, if the same person .. blonde kid, rebel, naughty kid (lol) lived in the Lee High Road area .. can't say I know him as I say IF the same person, had dealings with him long ago .. he'd be early 70s now, possibly very late 60s
EDIT .. on reflection it is Geoff Saynor .. I knew him when I was a little kid, rival gangs and all that, not really since .. we crossed paths a few times later on but moved in different circles
