It all started for me at Clatterbridge Hospital Radio. Wirral
Mersesyside. When I started broadcasting with BBC Merseyside I
played for the BBC Radio Merseyside and Ricky McCabe
Merseyside Showbiz Football teams.
One game was against Jimmy Hill's Goaldiggers and Rod
Stewart atended with Britt Eckland. Elton John was due to attend
but didn't make it. However, I found a very rare Elton John song
which tells the story of their team. I've linked it to this podcast logo
