"Astle" sounds like astull. Anyone notice this?

You have to pronounce the T - it sounds like "ass-tull". 194.176.201.10 14:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

http://news.scotsman.com/uk.cfm?id=1257582002 is a broken link. Jonknight73 (talk) 11:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of death[edit]

Was it motor neurone disease? as I have set up a category for this here Ianguy 11:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so - my understanding (you clearly know more about it than I do) is that motor neurone disease occurs naturally, whereas Jeff's condition was found to be caused by heading a football. Haydn01 14:44, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Camptown Races[edit]

That song doesn't sound like it could be sung to the tune of Camptown Races, despite the shared lyrics. Looks more like Farmer in the Dell. Adam Bishop (talk) 11:44, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
