Day 16: 'Sound the Trumpets' - The Wailers (featuring Bob Marley)
Ah-har! See what I did there? This is the Wailers you know and love. I'm not sure why Bob is only 'featured' but judging by the sound - that kind of dirty Trenchtown sound before it was cleaned up for world-wide consumption - I would guess this track pre-dates most previously known BM & the W tracks. Research has revealed little. Still, no matter, 'cos this just wonderful and should be heard at all costs. And, don't forget 'Rasta Ras will be there'...
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.
