Shane MacGowan & The Pogues

[DavidH]

RIP Shane. I can't believe we haven't already got a thread on this.

Once said the best thing about Liverpool is Everton.

Went to see the Pogues many moons ago at the Royal Court (late 80s ish). So, as you do, hit the ale early, absolutely ratarsed going in to the concert, and the only time I've had 'triple vision' through booze. Three Shane MacGowans. Imagine it...

And somehow, he was more pissed than you lol

Yeah you definitely remembered more about the gig than Shane did. I wasn't even there and I remember more than him.

I would have been there too. Met Jem Finer in the bar. Great gig but Shane was on the downward spiral by then and it was beginning to show. Think I saw them three times at the Royal Court, third time had Joe Strummer on lead vocals.

The Pogues' Shane MacGowan was an Everton fan and took savage swipe at Liverpool

The late Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan was a huge Everton fan and once took a hilariously savage swipe at arch-rivals Liverpool for a moment etched in English football history

Once thought I was a chess piece after one tab. His brains must have poured out his ears.
