To the haters from other teams who said we'd never do it:

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Ian Dury was amazing.* Billericay Dickie is one of my fave tunes. Especially since we've moved to the Isle of Thanet. Rhyming seasoned-up hyaena with obscener is up there with a smacked-up Coleridge.

Back when it was released me and a mate wore out New Boots & Panties and never skipped a track. As for lyrics and musicality though, his greatest song has to be What a Waste :-

I could go to wild extremes, I could do or die.
I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch 'em rolling by.

I've spent most of my life listening to Danny Baker who knew him well. Dury was, by all accounts, quite a nasty piece of work.
