Great actor as well as playwright, loved him in Days Of Heaven .

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 .

Been a Chelsea fan since 1970, watching the FA Cup final on the old black and white TV, first match was in 71, home to Club Bruge in the European Cup, anyway "hello to all and happy to be here "
