Trugoy or David Jolicoeur to givehim his real name of De La Soul dead at 54!

1977, bitter after Scotland’s win at Wembley, he girned about the (admittedly over-the-top) vandalism carried out by the Scots fans who broke the goals, and tore up the pitch. This included, “And the unfortunate groundsman is to lose his day off for the Queen’s Jubilee to repair the pitch”
