How
did you start supporting Cowden ? : It started
in the early 70's when Bjorn was driving the Volvo
back to the Airport following a concert in Edinburgh
and we got lost. We stopped to ask directions from
5 lads, who turned out to be Cowden supporters.
Bjorn wasn't too handy with the English language
at that time and he mis-pronounced a few words.
Instead of asking "How do we get to the airport?",
he asked "Which one of you guys wants to shag
Agnetha?". Almost immediately he heard the
reply "I do", "I do", "I
do", "I do" and "I do".
It was at this time he had an idea for a hit song,
we have always followed the fortunes of Cowden since
then.
Have
any of your other recordings come from Cowden encounters?
: Yes, when we heard that Ian Lee had signed
for Cowden, we instantly wrote "Dancing Queen".
Have
you ever contemplated following another 3rd Division
team? : We nearly followed the 'Shire instead
of Cowden, as on that fateful night in Edinburgh,
the 5 Cowden guys were just behind a small timid
chap from Falkirk. When the 4 of us drew up he ran
away screaming that he wasn't used to crowds. We
wrote "One Of Us" for all 'Shire fans
as a tribute to him.
Any
bad Cowden memories? : Yes, obviously Andy Harrow's
reign as Cowden manager had it's effect on us. In
fact it was about the 33rd game without a home League
win that we split up. We finished our final album
and penned "The Day Before You Came" as
a reminder to everyone.
