I'm ashamed to admit it, but I fell for the "Bob Holness played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street" story some years back. It just seemed so right. I still want it to be true.
What have you fallen for, or even better, what legends have you started?

![This is a QotW answer](/images/board_posticon.gif)
When I were a lad, my Dad told me about the time he and his brother Terry went to watch a Fulham game in the 70s.
Now, Uncle Terry was a rather obese gentleman with a terrible drink problem and poor digestive health - resulting in the unfortunate fact that when Fulham scored the winner, he celebrated a little too over-vigorously and thoroughly shat his pants.
They left Craven Cottage and before catching the train home dashed into Marks & Spencers, wherein Terry hurriedly purchased a replacement set of pant & trouser.
Once on the train Terry rushed to the toilet, stripped off, cleaned his arse up a bit, and threw the shit-befouled garments out of the window. He opened the M&S carrier bag to take out the fresh ones....
and inside was a ladies' cardigan.
As I say, this story was related to me as gospel by my own father who swore he was there at the time and saw it with his own two eyes. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard and used it as my best story throughout the remainder of my youth.
Then one day, years later, I was out for a drink with a mate who started to tell me the story of how his dad and uncle once went to a football game....
