www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67004857 I was unaware of this until I checked some news channels today. RIP Derek Reynolds, Leyton Orient fan. This is happening more and more now. 8 million people on NHS waiting lists, chronic conditions going untreated. I'm surprised fans are not dying at games every weekend.
Very sad to see Sir Bobby depart. I was watching the rugby on saturday night with a Southampton fan who had actually seen him play (as I was at the Valley as a nipper, the opposition players I saw are all forgotten (anyone remember a Grimsby player at the Valley in 1974?). But Sir Bobby was one of the all time greats, and it must be great to have seen him in action. RIP Sir Bobby
RIP Tony Husband, Private Eye cartoonist. The Yobs was my favourite strip cartoon since The Cloggies.
RIP Joss Ackland https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67469247 One of the old guard. We won't see his like again.
His daughter lives at the end of my road and quite often sings in the bar there - better than her dad , RIP Mr Soul
His last wedding took place at Wood Green Registrary Office, North London. He was a regular at one of my favourite drinkers, The Jolly Anglers. A decent, down-to-earth chap who was always good for a yarn. RIP
RIP David. Loved Starsky and Hutch as a kid, but caught some old episodes recently and it would never get past the censors and politically correct lobby these days. One of the best buddy combo’s ever.
