Bend It!

[steve]

Cheers, Alan!

Tried again and got through fine - I was getting though to some kind of warning message in Japanese, which I hadn't bothered to look at closely the first time. 

A wiki page on the Bend It series would be great, as it would fit very nicely into the football page/section and also the Discography section (seems fair enough, as Peel did play tracks). Also, internet info seems scattered all over the place and not easy to tie down (searches keep coming up with Bent It Like Beckham links!).

Many thanks again.

Cheers,

Steve W
