Day 2: 'It Doesn't Often Snow at Christmas' - The Pet Shop Boys
As you'd expect; bells by the bucketload, electronica by the sackful, gloriously over-the-top 'Che Guvera and Debussy to a disco beat' and a song as camp as a Scout's Jamboree. Any other time of the year you'd turn the thing into a frisbee and fling it as far as you can but in December you'll play it again and again. Superb!
Born at an early age a mere defenders' spit from the Boleyn ground, Billy Blagg has seen every West Ham game from 1898 onwards. Blagg was mentioned by Kenneth Wolstenholme in 1966 as one of the people on the pitch during the famous Hammers win over West Germany that lifted the World Cup and he returned to the pitch again for the 1975 FA Cup Final but stayed on the terrace for 1980 FA Cup victory. Blagg, 26, now lives with his eighth wife and innumerable children in a small semi-detached with chintz curtains in Dagenham, Essex and still attends every Hammers match and training session.
