I’m pretty sure people know who Anthony Head is, in his own right. This line was not necessary.

There’ll be generations who have no idea who Murray is.

Nothing wrong with adding some info to a link posted. I didn’t know Murray Head was his brother.

No, but it’s just the way the post read. Ian could’ve just kept it as the link, but the addition of “Murray’s brother” makes it sound like Anthony was a nobody and that Murray is known.

Which is absolutely not the case, at all.

I didn’t see it that way at all. It really doesn’t matter and wasn’t worth the whinge.
