me xXx
Fighting Halfheimerz, I believe the HOF has Freddie's green/orange/white 'diamond' leotard (very cool to stand just a foot away from this), a Zara Rhodes designed Brian 'shirt', an imitation red special, along with a lame Radio GaGa 45 sleeve. Absolutely no yellow jacket.

I remember last year when I went on my class trip to Washington D.C. we went into a Hard Rock Cafe and my mum pointed out to me that there was an actual pair of Freddie's red pants and it was my favorite part of the whole trip.
I was in the front row at Wembley in 86 when Freddie threw his yellow jacket into the crowd. I caught one of the sleeves but another guy managed to grab the collar and in the following scuffle it got torn.
The scuffle went on for another hour or so and the Jacket also got bloodstained.
By the end of the concert I had battered the other fan to a state where he could no longer hold on to the jacket and victory was mine.
Just my bloody luck though. At the end of the concert, one of the pyrotechnic charges went into the crowd and set my leg on fire. I had to beat out the flames using Freddie's jacket, causing superficial damage to the lining. On the way home it started raining and as you probably remember, Britain was plagued with acid rain in the mid-eighties. I put the jacket over my head to shelter myself and the raindrops burned hundreds of tiny holes all over the jacket.
A little later on I needed a shit and nipped behind a bush to move my bowels. Neddless to say I didn't have any toilet paper and had to wipe my vast arse with Freddie's jacket.
I got home the next day and put the jacket in the washing up basket. You can guess what happened next can't you?
My mum put a tin of purple paint she wanted to get clean in the same washing
and the jacket was almost ruined.
I still have the jacket to this day. My dog, Scabby sleeps on it when his weeping sores force him outdoors.
I doubt I would ever sell it but feel free to make me an offer.
fatty
well, i really would like to have the white one with those black arrows on it, or red with white arrows,or black with white arrows (from the Hot Space Tour)....
simply but beautiful!
