In 1977

Pop star Marc Bolan had a TV series in 1977 and one of his catchphrases was 'Summer is Heaven in 77'. In September 1977 he was killed in a car crash aged 29.

An overdose of tree.
 
And the year that Red Rum won his third National.

Southport, I think. Ginger McCain was the trainer, and it was his garage, I think.

Yeah jim.

I actually wept when Red Rum crossed that finish line in 1977.

And I was relieved when he was pulled out of the 1978 National.

When he died a few years ago I read what McCain said. About how Rummy was still slumped upright even after being put to sleep.

Christ...got tears in my eyes now...
