RICHARD ROBBED OF EUROVISION VICTORY?
SIR CLIFF RICHARD didn't win the 1968 Eurovision Song Contest because of vote rigging by a fascist regime, it has been claimed.
The British singer performed his hit track, Congratulations, at the contest - in which musicians from countries across Europe compete each year - at London's Royal Albert Hall.
But despite being favourite to win the competition, Richard lost out to a Spanish musician.
In a TV documentary aired in Spain on Sunday (04May08), director Montse Fernandez Vila claims Spain's win was "bought" by corrupt executives working for state-run television.
However, Congratulations, did manage to top the U.K. charts later that year (68).
