Art,
I was on holiday on the 9th so I'm sorry I didn't send you a greeting!
Re: Football crazy
I don't know much about football (I was an Aston Villa fan in my youth which proves it) and don't know what match you were watching but the song refers, I think, in the Hall/McGregor version I half-remember, to a Scottish team, [so perhaps I should have said " I dinna ken mickle aboot fitba'"] Celtic? Rangers? and I think mentions Hamden Park and one McGraw, but whether it was a real occasion or just invented I know not.
