GOD'S FOOTBALLER-BILLY BRAGG

I'm not a Wolves fan but I am a fan of Billy Bragg. Trying to teach my class how to use Moviemaker and thought I better teach myself first. The song and video are about the Wolves player Peter Knowles who quit First division football to follow his faith. Enjoy.(Hopefully).

Thanks for the comments. I'm pleased at how it turned out. Just missed the local Billy Bragg gig against the BNP. Looking for another chance to see him. Last time was at the NUT march in London.

Peter Knowles was my idol. Remember my first game at Molineux...November 4th 1967 versus Coventry City...Wolves won 2-0 with Peter grabbing both goals...Never, ever, ever, forget that magical afternoon. Peter was the greatest....

Billy makes great songs, this one is beautiful. NUT,BNP are all the same. Totalitarian views that have been tried and failed.

speaking of lost, I had a dear friend who had been a JW, rejected by the religion commit suicide, but I know they are "good" people, but so were the Puritans, any religion can work in a closed society....

My best buddy has lost his girlfriend to the Watchtower's 2.7 billion a year publishing company ..so if it's sarcastic so what? JW's are a self-righteous cult living by law not by faith, they identify themselves to an elite group of men rather than Christ, They point to their preaching works as proof of their faith but they are driven to preach out of fear, not love for neighbour.

Im  a Baggie fan, seem to remember watching him demonstrate the art of football at the Custard Bowl back in the 70's ! What a loss to the game ,I blame the Dingles for that !

tremendous...never heard of the black country until this morning (way off in Cleveland Ohio)...watching the West Brom-Wolves match...they mentioned "Black Country Derby"...and remembered this BB song...also live in the USA's Black Country...Cuyahoga County (lot's of pollution, burning rivers, etc....now we lead the league in unemployment) Cheers!

maybe so, maybe im the naive one. maybe just immature. its funny you should say that about injury, because that is why I appoligized in the first place, for the reference. I also dont think Mint Car by The Cure is an honest expression, but you could i guess. Head injury = ADD,imo
