As opposed to the… Gang of Four… Or even… The Guildford Four… ‘Mister Martin’s Men’… It seems… Obvious now… All the media spotlights… How could it ever have been… Anything other… Than a put up job?… There are some discrepancies… John and George… Appear to have wandered… Rather a long way off script… In the film Apocalypse Now… Colonel Kurtz orders the assassination of four Viet-Gong double agents… Enemy activity in his old sector… Drops to zero… He evidently hit the right four people… Were the Fab Four… The right four?… Were they even… Always… The same four?

Some questions are destined… Never to get answered… It is hard not to feel sorry for John… His timing and enunciation were second to none… And he had maneuvered himself into a position… Were the Nineteen-Eighties… Could have been a big decade… For him… It would have fitted him well… With his new… Bohemian cowboy look… Much classier than some of his… Earlier incarnations… Gozzy took it hardest… Never paid them too much heed… Until then… Then, they were everywhere… Again… Especially John… Can’t think about Gozzy… Without thinking about… Gozzy’s sisters.

They turned up… At most matches… Actually… Along with Gozzy’s dad… And most post match do’s too… Were they practicing to be groupies?… Or something?… Footballers Wives… Before Footballers Wives… Were properly invented… There was a lot of that… Testing the water… For the high silliness… To come… Fee in her Doctor Martens… For one thing… Looked like her ankles… Would snap… Every time she lifted her foot… They didn’t though… Which may very well… Have been the point… Or at least… One of them… Fee originally hooked up… With Ash… At Man Friday’s nite-club.
