    So sad.
    Brilliant innovative guitarist. First saw them 40 years ago. One of the best and most exciting live bands.
    I found that essence rare. It's what I looked for.
    RIP

    I first saw them at about 40 years ago with a spotty faced U2 on the undercard. Good band and never compromised to be commercial - rare breed.

    RIP

    Kris Blakeston, a juniors coach at City. Only 40. Far too young. Incredibly sad. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

    Hull City’s academy has been left rocked by the death of its long-serving and popular coach Kris Blakeston at the age of 40.

    Blakeston had worked in City’s youth ranks for 12 years in a number of roles, helping to set a number of youngsters on their way to first-team stardom.

    He had coached in every age group of the Tigers’ academy and this season had been in charge of the club’s under-13s team.

    City’s East Riding Senior Cup tie against Hall Road Rangers on Tuesday night was postponed as a mark of respect.

    Blakeston passed away on Monday following a short battle with cancer.

    Former City youngster Josh Tymon was among those to pay tribute to Blakeston on Twitter. “Shocking news,” he wrote. “RIP Kris. Huge influence on every single player who has been at the academy. One of the good guys and an even better coach! Thoughts go out to his friends and family.”

    Current City teenager Keane Lewis-Potter also paid respect to his former coach on Twitter last night. "Cannot put into words how I am feeling right now," wrote Lewis-Potter. "The man who brought me into this club and helped me progress massively to where I am today. A truly amazing coach and an even better guy. My thoughts are with his family and friends. Rest In Peace Blakey."

    Blakeston, born and raised in Hull, helped a host of homegrown youngsters to make the grade with City during his long association with the club, including Max Clark, Josh Tymon, Robbie McKenzie, Brandon Fleming and Keane Lewis-Potter.

    His long involvement with City’s youth ranks dates back over a decade and he was part of the academy’s successful application for category two status when moving to Bishop Burton in 2015.

    Blakeston served as a lead foundation phase coach and a lead youth development phase coach, overseeing age groups between under-12s and under-16s. As part of City’s sponsorship deal with SportPesa, he also joined fellow academy coach Richard Naylor on a two-week trip to Kenya in 2016 to undertake a series of coaching sessions.

    Totally shocked at the loss of Kris.

    Always happy to help and came down to take a few sessions with my lads when I was coaching youth football.

    Top fella.

    Was Douglas pretty much the last man standing of Hollywood's golden age? I can't think of anyone else left from that era.

    103 is a superb innings.

    The passing of Kris Blakeston is truly tragic, I only knew him by sight at the junior games, but always seemed upbeat and supportive of all the lads. RIP Kris.

    I feel his best film was Paths of Glory, Stanley Kubrick.
    For those who have seen it the final scene where they get the young German girl to sing she became Kubricks wife. Thanks Kirk

    Absolutely his best film, a film everyone needs to see at least once.

    I know, and I don’t mind admitting it is the only film I still get emotional watching it.
