Johnny Rotten

[uncle fester]

Picked this up on the shelf at Tesco's - didn't buy it

flicking through the photos - there he was at the emirates in a straw boater, white blazer with arse badge and massive flag

now maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but I remember this guy - at the time I thought he was the greatest thing ever

I saw a lot of him on the telly and read loads of interviews etc but nowhere do I remember him talking about football never mind the arse in particular

feet of clay and all that

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

He's always been a Gooner - grew up in Finsbury Park.
He was in some film in the mid / late 80's with Harvey Keitel. Keitel was a cop and Rotten a psychopath in New York, walking around with an Arsenal shoulder bag.

In his first book there is a photo of him in his house in Chelsea in the late 70s with the TV on and there's football on TV so maybe he was always a fan although like you I have read many of his interviews over the years and don't recall any references to football until the early 90s.

I've read that Sid was a rag.

Does it really matter?

I've only ever seen him as a massive twat. I never really got the whole punk thing. Shit music played by scruffy twats who gobbed on each other.
