What's up Doc?

It's been some hours since the passing of the 'Thin white Duke' and still no Richard Massey references.

[Westyeltz]

He was mentioned in reply to my earlier text to him.

He's also of the belief that Alf Bowerman was an incarnation of Bowie and is currently deep in mourning

[YeltzDoc]

Hahahaha. I can only blame being stuck on planes.

I was one of very few people who's first though on hearing of Bowie's untimely passing, immediately thought of our former mulletted midfield maestro.

Stats Chas?

[HalesowenHarry]

David Bowie never played for The Yeltz....................

[Laurel Lane Lamper]

Neither did Alf Bowerman?

His Halsowen News column was legendary though

Or do you mean Richard Massey?

[YeltzDoc]

I meant Mr Massey.

[Laurel Lane Lamper]

And he was like Bowie?

[Laurel Lane Lamper]

Massey 133 apps & 7 goals, including the screamer against Dover that would have landed in Dudley if the net hadn't stopped it

[Laurel Lane Lamper]

I enjoyed some of Bowie but he was a bit "modern" for me

A Yeltz/Bowie connection I can remember is from the time when we knew we were going to get promoted Southern Premier from Midland. We got a medley of songs together to play over the p.a. - 2 of them were Top of the World by The Carpenters & Bowie's Heroes. There were probably a couple more, perhaps Queen's We Are The Champions, but I struggle to be certain.
