Peel did profess on air to having a soft spot for the Well
I believe he also attended another home game under his own steam, and he was impressed by the club and fans (I would guess that this mirrored his enthusiam for smaller independant type bands rather than the corporate-rock coming from behemoth record companies)
I saw one of his legendary John Peel "Roadshow - Discos" in the 80's (at Reading Uni) and he was brilliant - yes, just some bloke playing top notch records as you would expect and I spoke to him then. I also spoke to him over the phone just after the Hillsborough disaster, and he did decicate a tune to all Well fans
Simply a legend
