Not a Mexican midfielder once on the books of West Ham .. A talented entertainer the man who had a world wide hit in the 60s with 'If I Had a Hammer' and for his role in 'The Dirty Dozen'.
He's passed age 83, another victim of the Corona virus pandemic .. R I P Trini

    RIP Trini. I had no idea until now that "If I Had a Hammer" was written by Pete Seeger.

    RIP.  That song is another in the background soundtrack of my youth...

    "I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in evening, all over this land..."

    Had a greatest hits cd of his in my car in the 90s. Great music.
    Sad day.

    I would have been very young, but remember being taken with the sound of his guitar and the 'live' sound.  Think it must've been on big brother's reel to reel.  I played it over and over (when he wasn't looking)  :).

    RIP Trini.

    Remember taking "If I Had A Hammer" from my Dad's record collection back in the Eighties because I liked it so much

    Played everything there was of his on the Mill jukebox.
    Brilliant. Forgotten how good he was.

    RIP Trini.

    ' If I had a hammer " has stayed somewhere in a quiet corner of my brain for over half a century.

    I nearly bought a Trini Lopez Gibson guitar in San Francisco in the early 90s - $450 - wonder how much it would be worth now...

    Wow! If I knew then what I know now....

    And it was a nice guitar - I was just worried about getting it back home on the flight.
