What Have You Been Watching on TV?

I watched McCartney: The Hunt for the Lost Bass film on iPlayer last night.

It's basically a story of how he lost his Hofner bass guitar in the 1970s and got it back recently, but the story takes some twists and turns along the way. It's a fascinating documentary.

The new series of Football Icons on the BBC iPlayer.

Henrik Larsson 

Davie Cooper

Gary McAllister

Some Wifie

Chick Young

A very mixed bag to say the least.

Larsson was an excellent player at a higher level than Scotland too.

Davie Cooper - was he THAT good?

Seen him play from mid 80s onwards, never thought he was special. 

McAllister I really only remember from Scotland games, so couldn't say, but was never that impressed.

Chick Young being an icon is a strange one

Craig Gordon is the other one. And "Some Wifie" is Julie Fleeting, Scotland's all-time top international scorer.

I think I will give this series a miss. Three Huns and two Tims.

Only the five episodes available to me yesterday, which I did think strange.

The hun or Tim thing doesn't bother me IF I think they were decent players.

The Wifey fitba I have no interest in.

Lots of players they could have picked from and we get that line up. Poor choices.

They could have done Simmy, to coincide with his book launch.

I can't think why they wouldn't have...

Wouldn't surprise me if they do one for Durrant at some point though. 

The world class player whose career that was ended by the worst tackle ever in world football.  Sally McCoist and Souness greeting at the camera about what could have been. 

Still makes me angry the shit Simmie went through after that day. A nicer bloke you couldn't meet.
