I Shot the Sheriff[edit]

Is he the same person as the Zero Time guitarist Malcolm McDonald who covered Bob Marley's I Shot the Sheriff back in the 1990's with a distinctive scottish-style percussion? 85.244.20.49 (talk) 23:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the very same; he'd wanted to be a drummer, but his knee-injury ruled that out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.24.125 (talk) 19:43, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fee[edit]

The agreed fee was a third of a million pounds. According to Malcolm himself (interviewed on TalkSport radio in Jan 2013) the cheque was written out for £333,333.34. Dadge (talk) 23:14, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

I removed the "Macdonald is a keen yodeller and is a key member of the Seaton Sluice Songbirds." claim as he refuted this on TalkSport radio in April 2014, He does though live in Seaton Sluice.15:02, 7 April 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Statto74 (talk • contribs)

Golden Boot[edit]

We don't do anachronism on Wikipedia. The Golden Boot award did not exist until the arrival of the Premier League in the 1990s, therefore MM didn't win it. I have changed the article accordingly. - Sitush (talk) 11:56, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
