Gary Sprake, Leeds keeper during their most successful spell under Don Revie has died aged 71. Welsh international he'll probably always be remembered most for throwing the ball into his own goal in a match against Liverpool. RIP...
I remember sitting on the wall behind the Loft goal watching him play for Birmingham when I was a kid. RIP
Shame to hear of Dave Cash passing away, in 1969/70, my last year at school I always listened to his evening programme on Radio 1, a thoroughly nice guy...
Just heard that Jimmy Perry, creator of Dad's Army has died aged 93, one of the all-time classic comedies...
53 is no age to die, but Burns did put his body through it with all his surgery - liked his stuff, but will always be remembered in our house for his complete character assination of Michael Barrymore on Celebrity Big Brother - hilarious!!
