Arturo Murrei

Into football, music and German bier. An Arab. Went to the Nou Camp in 87 by bus from Dundee. A lockdown, cliched, self-proclaimed, master baker

@alfish83 @GrahamSpiers I was a ballboy briefly at the start of 1979-80 season. I got the spot beside the dugout. Couldn’t believe my luck but I soon found out why nobody else wanted it…..

@CallumFT @colinmccredie He also played bass on Shipbuilding by Robert Wyatt and what a great baseline it is.

@AlisonMoyet Not heard “had a cob on” for a long time and it made me laugh. Thank you.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@jdgwright @MysteriosoX Agree with the above except for the “good footballer” bit. I wouldn’t go as far as good. Decidedly second team material…..

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@arabmackem Was it not Dundee fans in the Provie Road End that day?

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@euanmccolm I shall give it a listen. Thanks

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@arabmackem We were just lucky to see them and that team.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@arabmackem Kirkie got a lot of goals too and probably got more goals from outside the box (can’t remember Doddsie getting any!) but Doddsie was the master of goals from within about 12 yards of the goal. Both were key players in our greatest ever team and deserved many more plaudits.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@arabmackem I kind of think that there are always people who want to hate one or more of the team. They need someone to shout at.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@BrianSpanner1 Oh Lord, we give thee humble and hearty thanks for this, thy gift of discipline, knowing that it is only through the constraints of others that we come to know ourselves, and only through true misery can we find true contentment.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@EasyPeasy_3 @dfr10 @GrahamSpiers Can’t disagree with that.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@dfr10 @GrahamSpiers @EasyPeasy_3 Tony Benn gave up his hereditary title but didn’t give up the inherited wealth that came with it. In a lot of ways I liked him but that was tokenism in the extreme.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@BrianSpanner1 I think it is actually a Kilburn and the High Roads tribute band..

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@euanmccolm This gives a good indication of how brilliant the footage is.

@euanmccolm I have the blu ray of the movie. It is astonishing good and also relentlessly joyous.

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@ASherrySipper @ChelsTransfer Well, the manager has gone, but I am guess your club have bigger problems than that….

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@ArtyBagger I certainly hope so!

[Arturo Murrei @BudBoo79]

@ASherrySipper @ChelsTransfer It was the Ian Porterfield reference that got me.
