    Can't help but smile when I think about watching Meadowlark and his Globetrotters as a kid. And now can't get "Sweet Georgia Brown" out of my head!

    RIP

    A mini bus trip to see them at 'The Empire Pool - Wembley' was a childhood highlight. RIP Meadowlark.

    I remember that at the Empire Pool well. Brilliant entertainment!
    Remember Meadowlark holding the ball at his full height
    and the Ref Struggling to get it out of his hand!

    Went to The Empire Pool Wembley to see them with the Cub Scouts as a Christmas treat in the early 70's. They were at least 40 points down at half time but somehow came back and won. Remarkable!
