RIP Hughie, a proper legend and a damn nice bloke as well. I only saw him a few years ago when he was playing a veterans’ game and he was in fine form then. This is one of my favourite pics of mine of

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

The very first fight I remember watching was him getting totally smashed by Hagler. I felt really sorry for him ... I didn’t know he’d had a great career , nor of course that he’d just come across one of the best fighters ever

Diana Rigg, born in Doncaster, went to Fulneck Moravian School near Pudsey.  Her father was the manager of Turner Machinery at Bramley.  Obviously she's best known for Emma Peel in The Avengers, the role I remember her in was the jealous mother in Mother Love.

Just as ITV4 has been showing reruns of the Avengers.

I’d have been tempted to give her the pen and paper and said ‘ just write your number on there ‘

A beautiful, intelligent woman, who also had a wonderful sense of humour.

And Rugby League gets an early mention in these interviews she did with Michael Parkinson in the 1970s.

Martin, many years ago, Rugby League World (possibly even back when it was Open Rugby) published a wonderful picture of Diana in the stands at a game, possibly even this same one.

If you could get a minion to dig it out of the archives, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one of us delighted to see it again.

RIP Toots 😔

 

One of the all-time greats and, even in recent years, a fantastic live performer. Full of energy and brio, and still had that soulful voice. So glad I got to see him live, there are so many ska/rocksteady/reggae greats that I missed out on. RIP Toots
