Galvinised: The Footballing Tale of Brothers Chris and Tony Galvin

Product Information

The RIAA certifications are based on documented sales figures and in the case of older artists these figures simply do not exist any more. In the case of Elvis the RCA figures are incomplete, most importantly sales during the 12 months after Elvis' death are unaccounted for. If we take that one step further and add 250,000 units as an average on all Gold albums(half of the difference between 500,000 and 999.,999, we find that The Beatles and Garth Brooks have only albums that have platinum status and therefore get no additional figures: It was like the olden days - the glory, glory nights - and I remembered watching on the telly when we beat Atletico Madrid in the 60s. It was special, especially with Parksy saving the penalty. This might sound a bit harsh but I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for ex-players from my era who complain about not being able to work in football all their life. The fact is there aren’t enough jobs for every former player. You have to get on with things.”

The staggering number of Elvis albums released over the past 45 years means that his “lost” sales by RIAA accounting are astronomic compared to his main competitors. For the purpose of this exercise, if we average the numbers and say all artists will be credited 500,000 extra sales for records between the various platinum levels, the figures look like this based on the artists current number of certified albums: You might argue that these conditions are the same for all artists, which indeed they are, but because of the ever changing ways of releasing music over the past decades, the consequences are quite remarkable in that the more albums you have released, the more sales you lose by being under and in between levels. We were favourites and played well most of the game but Manchester City got a goal and we got edgy. We were fortunate to get an equaliser in the end." Ernst Jorgensen & Roger Semon's 2002 discussion about the FTD label and their future releases. An EIN exclusive. During a client assessment, I recently asked a 7-year-old girl, to march on the spot, like a soldier. As she marched it was obvious that she was raising her right arm and right leg together and left arm and left leg together. Try marching this way – it should feel odd!The boys of ’81 are certainly getting on. Their hair has thinned, their walk has slowed. Still, they’re occasionally recognised. “People approach me from time to time, lots of men with their grandsons, or sons, who say, ‘this man helped us win the Cup twice’. Otherwise, I don’t talk those games, to be honest.” On this day in May 1981 the spectator was the one being watched. But there wasn’t much to see. “I didn’t play well in the drawn game,” he candidly says. The truth is none of Tottenham’s players did in part 1 of that two-game Cup final saga. “We froze.” But City didn’t, Tommy Hutchinson scoring a superb diving header to put them in front before his and City’s day was ruined by the most bizarre of own goals. After a 1-1 draw in Brussels, Graham Roberts' late equaliser forced a similar outcome at The Lane before goalkeeper Tony Parks became the hero of the hour as we won the cup in a heart-stopping penalty shootout. It wasn’t all that easy being Irish, either, in Thatcher’s Britain. And if you happened to be one of those Irishmen who turned down the chance to play for England – ‘well England B’ – then heaven help you. I think he actually said, ‘they always play like that’, says the 62-year-old with a hint of exasperation. “No they don’t,” he continues, by way of reply.

And they listened. “The man was fiercely loyal. Like, when it came to Italia 90, he knew I was injured but he liked having people around him that he could trust. He said to me, ‘if you are anyway fit, fit enough even to train, I’ll bring you’. Then he delivered the killer line. ‘Don’t worry like, there’s no chance you’ll play. But you can come with us’.” For others it will just make things more confusing. Bottom line: Elvis is indeed the greatest selling recording artist of all time.

Age, Biography and Wiki

Keith was very honest and heÕd tell you if you'd done something wrong. You could have a row with him because he was the old fashioned sort in that respect. He knew the game inside out, though, and to go out on a high like that was terrific for him."

Club career: The Huddersfield-born leftwinger began his career with Spurs in 1976, staying 11 years at White Hart Lane before moving to Sheffield Wednesday (1987) and Swindon (1989), where he finished his league career and had a spell as assistant manager. Managed Royston Town in the South Midlands League until May 1996.These days, he coaches a bit in a local primary school, does a bit at Spurs on the hospitality side of things and sounds rather content with his lot. That was the best and most memorable night of my time at Tottenham. It was a fantastic atmosphere and they were a bloody good side. We should have beaten them over there but, here, they were the better team and their centre-half, Morten Olsen, was outstanding. Feyenoord had been my best match because they had Johan Cruyff in their team and I scored twice at home and once away, but the Anderlecht game was my favourite night at Tottenham.
