As in John Hegley & the Popticians?
How was it?
Yes it's the same John Hegley. I've a couple of his collections of poems, and this one is an old favourite I decided to re-read for the first time in ten years or so. It's typical Hegley; observational, clever and funny. Here's one of the shorter examples of his work in the book, about the Eric Cantona kung fu incident, called "Fracas":
Eric got aerobic
when the going got too Francophobic:
he didn't have a leg to stand on
but he had someone to land on.
