    Too true.

    I looked thru his images on Google & just thought that....

    He looked a bit like Oliver Reed,but just missed his on-screen intensity.

    Just so long as you have an alibi:pac:

    I remember that RTE showed exotic arty films late on Friday nights back in the early 70's whne there might be a bit of noodiness. I'm sure La Dolce Vita was one of them

    With a few footballers in the family over the years I know a lot of football names. Unfortunately Mr. Hayward's name never came up so I had to ask Mr. Google. :o

    Jeremy Lloyd 23rd December aged 84.

    Oh I'm so sorry to hear that.
    Back in the 70s, I used to catch 'Pebble Mill at One' when home early from school on Wednesdays (half day). One day I heard a poem which touched me greatly. I searched for it on and off but I didnt know the title and describing what it was about wasn't helping me.

    Once the Internet arrived, I started to look in earnest for it. I wrote to a few publishers and bookshops in England and then one evening had a phone call from a gentleman with an English accent. He proceded to read the poem to me down the phone. I was so thrilled. It was the author himself, Jeremy Lloyd. A lovely gentle man.

    This is the poem: Link

    Very sweet! Here are the words:

    http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~kmr/lyrics/album2/nearlyfour.htm

    I was also fond of Captain Beaky and his Band by sung/spoken by Keith Michell. But that's another story.

    http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~kmr/lyrics/album1/captainbeaky.htm

    And from the same website he says:

    "A graveyard on a Summer's night the spectres dance in sheer delight and down a moonbeam slides a ginger cat in plimsolls and a paper hat...."

    This was all I could find of a poem I wrote aged 12. Last year, aged about 40 something, I finished it. The poems had been written on the backs of envelopes, film scripts and in letters to friends over a period of years. When there appeared to be some interest in publishing them I found I was turning out old boxes of papers and writing to friends asking if I had by chance written them a poem, and if so, could I have it back. Keith Michell sent me some that I had completely forgotten writing. ~ Jeremy Loyd 1977
