yep...Just flashed up on the wires...Dalian Atkinson dies after being tasered by local police in Telford..
R.I.P. Dalian Atkinson, don't know the details but could be another troubled ex-pro like Andy Payton, sad news
He was a very strong forward back when it was more of a mans game, scored some great goals like that one. Bit short of England class but a very decent striker
My mother loved his plays, a great performer and from Cottingham, and all round nice guy. RIP Brian Rix
My ignorance... I never realised that he was from the same family Rix whose oil tankers we see on our streets.. RIP..
Saxophonist 'Deadly' Headley Bennett, who played on "Judge Not," Bob Marley's first song, has died of cancer at the age of 85.
Was only talking about him and his Whitehall farces on the BBC in the 50's a week or so ago. Saw a couple of his shows at the Whitehall Theatre when I lived in London in the 60's. RIP Brian Rix.
