Got a call this morning to help identify this. The time was stuck in their head but they couldn't place it. So I'm feeling quite smug to have been able to identify it

good thing I checked had all names right as I'd called Dez Dickerson - 'Eric' instead!
(after an NFL Hall of Fame player from the 80's)

I never saw this until after he died
