Any idea where he got that nickname from?. Over the decades, yet to meet any 'Blue' who knows!.

I may be wrong on this ,i went to school in Hammersmith in the late 60's early 70's, Eccles was a local legend, we were a few years younger, but a couple of the older kids in school who were shed boys claimed it came from the character played by Spike Milligan on the Goon Show . No idea why he used the name though, my impression was it came when Danny and some of the others mucking around, and it just stuck . No idea if this was true though, just one of the many stories that did the rounds .

I posted this above

"He got that nick name from Cliff Webb back in 1965 because he laughed like Eccles off the Goon Show. "

 
Hi,
I'm Mickaël , a french independant journalist and I'm currently working for the La Découverte publisher on a big book entitled "A Popular History of Football" which will be published in early 2018.

The project is particularly interested in football as a vector of collective and individual emancipation, popular culture and resistances (workers'struggle, anti-totalitarism, decolonialism, feminism militancy, fan culture, etc.), while taking part in a process of history “from below” of the practice of the people's game.

I have a whole section of the book about football fan culture in Great Britain, especially during the 60's until the 80's with the rise of skinhead culture in the terraces, and with the publisher, we are currently exploring some photos to illustrate each chapter.

In this sense, and if you are interested both by the idea and the publication, I come to you to know if you have some Shed Boys pictures (like David Nicolson's ones) during the 70's because it will illustrate very well this chapter about skinhead culture in football.

Ddon't hesitate to send me a private message or to ask me for further information about the book.

Kind regards,

Mickaël

Yeah is a proper shame. Probably a lot of pics of my dad I’d like to see. I’d compensate the fella if it’s money he’s after
