A very sad day. Another of my cricketing heroes gone. They don't make 'em like Bob any more.

The Look was one of the first records we got.

Roxette -prob  a great example of inoffensive euro pop rock at its best, the poor lass had not had the best luck with her health for a while by the sounds of it.

It makes you feel old when so many of your colleagues had never heard of Bellamy. It makes you feel even older when the most well-known impression of him doing that line was Lenny Henry on TISWAS.

Sheila Mercier.... Annie Sugden

 

Brian Rix's sister.

Not a bad innings.

Mind you, as with some others (including Ron Saunders), I thought she'd popped her clogs a few years back.

Sir Geoff Hurst

@TheGeoffHurst

Today is a very sad day for football & for me personally Martin Peters was one of the all time greats & a close friend and colleague of mine for in excess of 50 years. A fellow World cup final goalscorer & my West Ham partner for years along with Bobby Moore RIP old friend.
