RIP, He was probably the first overlapping FB and a very good player. He got injured just before the 66 WC and because of that Cohen got the medal.

Brought a real sense of gravitas and dignity to the role that was lacking in the other characters, i shall remember him fondly for his work with the royal shakespeare company and his season at the old vic.

Ah man. We all knew that it was coming but I wasn't ready for that.

I measured my life by Fall albums. As Milo says, it hasn’t looked good for a while but still believed it would only be him, Keef and the roosterroaches left when the bomb dropped.

In his pomp:

I used to know someone who was a tour manager for the Fall back in the 80's. One night Mark E Smith pulled my mate to one side and complained about the PA system. He said that there was something wrong with it. My mate said that he didn't think that there was. Smith was insistent and said that he kept hearing this awful noise. Unable to convince him, my friend suggests that Smith lets him know the next time he hears it. The following night, Smith pulls him to one side and said that he can hear the noise again and my friend replied, "that's the support band".

Weren't The Fall a bit brick, and Mark E Smith a bit of a taco?

I only watched this again recently. It's great, partly because he thinks Frank Skinner is Stewart Lee.
