World Cup: Bellingham railway station (South-East London) temporarily renamed Jude Bellingham to honour the England footballer who scored twice against Mexico and twice against Norway. Vivian Ellis’s Coronation Scot (‘Paul Temple’ theme music) & Arthur Honegger’s Pacific 231 (conducted by the composer for Jean Mitry’s eponymous film).
Jude the Non-Obscure then…?
Nice to see a super footballer amongst all the musicians in the Column. I guess that’s a “first”! … Let’s hope he does as well against Argentina on Wednesday. Come on England!
Just for the record, Edward, I have been predicting France as World Cup winners before the tournament started, manager Didier Deschamps’s third consecutive Final (won 1, lost 1). If France does win, it will be at the expense of Argentina or England; if the latter, I hope I shall not be ostracized from the community!
