The original 606.....

The original 606.....

Postby Freez » Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:11 pm

..has been running on Tuesday nights on Radio Five from 10-11pm with Danny Baker (sadly no Danny Kelly) and last nights was a cracker.

The usual daft stories and amusing anecdotes, however one guy singing "Bohemian Rhapsody"
replacing the lyrics with footballers surnames was especially funny. The first word was "Twiss" and he was mentioned on at least five more occasions, have a listen its on the Five Live page to listen again or download, it's on after about twenty minutes. Very very clever.

Also, every caller has been allocated a team at random by Danny, to support alongside their first love, he picks the names on paper out of a bin, and I have been waiting for us to come out for weeks, last night one caller asked for a northern team and he got us! Sadly, Danny is usually informed about most teams but appeared to know not a sausage about us. Suppose we haven't been around long enough. Next bloke got Rochdale and he immediately knew "Spotland".

Every week it reminds me how the media are obsessed with the top four of the Premiership and little else, this show is for true fans of all clubs, not the armchair or pub experts.
Have a listen and enjoy.

At last, a pleasant non threatening thread! :D

Absolutely Twissing superb.

MrT looks rather out of place in that old Port Vale sponsored by Tunstall shirt!

Certainly brought a gallon of tears to my eyes with laughter.

You joking???!!!??? FFS!!

He's on a rant trying to arrange an 'organised BOO' at games on Saturday, encouraging everyone to 'BOO' right at kick-off time, no matter what! For goodness sake, Negative Ned will obviously be booing right from kick off anyway but the rest of us??? :lol: :roll:

Freez, thanks for bringing that into my life. Brilliant stuff, I've emailed it to everyone I know who is remotely interested in football.

606 has never been better than when Danny Baker is on it and Danny Baker has never done anything that I've seen or heard remotely comparable to his stints on 606 (though my Spurs mates say his London radio stuff is good, too.

Cheers.
Is the glass half full or half empty? Mmmm? hard to say - but it does look like there's room for more beer!

It's the highlight of the radio week, and you can watch it online or by pressing the red button.

A few weeks ago he asked for folk to ring in if their name sounded a bit like a football team. A lady called Debbie County did, a Gill Ingham and an Ann Field.

The man's a genius, bringing the fun back into football. :)

If you enjoy this type of stuff, then Danny does an afternoon show on BBC London between 3 and pm. It not football related, but a general 606 type show.

You can listen online at www.bbc.co.uk/london
