Terry Hall was a big Man Utd fan and often seen at matches home and abroard.

Wrote it with his then girlfriend Jane Wiedlin of the Go Go's ( Belinda Carlisles' band) and they released it. Jane came out with her one hit Rush Hour................. and Belinda well............... had a few more hits than that. R.I.P Terry xx

RIP Terry Hall. I loved the Specials and his understated vocals were a nice foil to the band's trebly raucousness.

Here's Terry playing footy in a charity match at QPR I think, with him is Dave Wakeling of The Beat, notice Terry playing in his soft leather fringe top moccasins he wore back in the FunBoy 3 era ?

Sad news loved The Specials in my mind their music never aged .

Sad news. R.I.P Mr Hall.
Should make ultra-modern nursery rhymes an official GOT anthem.....


Or maybe the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Well put Sir, my thoughts exactly, he always seemed like a reluctant hero.
Loved all of his music, RIP Terry you gave us some great stuff and I thank you for that.
Not a great start to the day, this one has got to ne a little bit.

Same here, it's an age thing I suppose. I grew up listening to the Ska revival, and the Specials were a great band. I loved the way they managed to mix politics and anti-racism with great music.
