That's a shame - I used to like him when I was little.  Wasn't his career cut short by a scandal?  My other half seems to think it was, but I was too young at the time to be aware of such matters.

The only scandal I can think of happened when I saw him playing in a charity football match at Stanley Park, Blackpool.  Freddie scored, but was ruled offside, so he dropped his shorts and mooned at the linesman in full view of several thousand spectators.   :laugh:
