Great News.....a slow, drifting melancholy tune...exactly in keeping with the casualness of Rio Ferdinand, and a limping Micheal Owen

at least Ant n Dec aren't involved...or as previously rumoured McFly !

A better option may have been Chas n Dave..I think we are all agreed on that :wave:

Exactly my first thought.

All we'll probably hear again and again is Danny spouting on about how he had to sell everything to save the band!
