chariots of fire

[spikey norman]

i know this has nothing to do with football but it is fulham related kind of
read this week that the film chariots of fire might never had been made if it wasn't for MAF and his son dodi
producer david puttnam struggled to get any interest from film distributors to take the project on
he showed the script to dodi who in turn showed it to Mo - he loved it so financed  the making of the film while dodi went on to produce it
puttnam won oscar for best film and praised mo and dodi in his speech for everything thay had done

does anyone else have any non football fulham related trivia?

only other one that springs to mind is les barrett and his younger brother paul once brought out a single which i saw them perform on blue peter - i don't think it did very well and can't for the life of me remember what it was called

...no idea why this video features Willie Morgan on most of the pictures, but the song is Les Barrett singing:-

You can buy it on the CD 'VIVA EL FULHAM' :-
