Hopping Mad Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) So-called Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe has died. He was 74. Having grown up near Halifax during his reign of terror, I remember only too well the impact Sutcliffe's murders had, particularly on female family members and girls at my school. One of the women who survived being attacked by Sutcliffe was a cleaner at the office in which my mum worked. Mum told me the unfortunate woman's mental scars were only too obvious.

Yes indeed one of those old school all round entertainers and variety acts . A thorough professional , massively popular and very self deprecating ....which via Morecambe and Wise really helped him !

Bleep1673 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I thought Des was a brilliant performer, was great working with M&W, but was absolutely awful on Countdown. The show restricted his abilities. Anybody can read from an Autocue, look at Alexander Armstrong. Great Song & Dance man, old school seaside entertaining, a big rival to Bruce Forsyth at their best. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopping Mad Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Keith Titmuss, a promising prop forward with the NRL's Manly Sea Eagles, has died after a training session at the club's Narrabeen base. He was 20. Titmuss, who had risen through Manly's junior ranks to secure a call-up to next season's 30-man full-time squad, reported feeling ill and died later at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital. Manly coach Des Hasler said: "We are devastated. Keith was a very popular character amongst the playing group. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten."

I've seen incredibly talented players. Strong players. Players with awareness and skill. And players who could carry a team of makeweights on their backs. But he's the only one I've seen who combined all that again and again and again. As for the handball ... if Shilton wasn't such a potbellied failure he should be able to outleap a shorty like Maradona even if he is cheating but he isn't so he can't. And that's the final difference between greatness and being a bitter loser. Maradona would do whatever it took to win. That way greatness lies. 3 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
