Paolo Rossi - italian soccer legend 64

Will always be remembered for scoring all 3 goals when Italy beat Brazil 3-2 in the 1982 World Cup in one of the all time classic games.  It makes me feel old knowing he was 64.

Very sad news about Rossi . That’s the first WC I remember , a really good tournament and that hattrick in one of the greatest WC games is legendary ,  I’ll never forget   it . That Brazil team had some of the best attacking talent , but there was some dodgy defending there ... I vividly recall the goal where they basically passed it to him and he smashed it in .

John Le Carre.

One of the greatest English novelists of the 20th century, wrote some absolute classics.

Coincidentally I'm actually halfway through rereading The Spy Who Came in From the Cold at the moment. 

Absolute legend, RIP John.

Benitez won the 2005 Champions League with what was basically Houlliers team. A lot of the trophies that Liverpool won I think can be traced back to Houllier.

Sad news, Nantucket Sleighride is still one of my favourite albums and something of an overlooked classic.

I really knew nothing about Mountain 'til I saw the 'Night of the Guitars' TV show, in which he did Theme for an Imaginary Western. Mind duly blown, I went looking, and ended up with Nantucket Sleighride as my first purchase. There's only Corky Laing left now.

Sad news indeed. I saw Mountain live at Sheffield uni in early (Feb?) 1972. Absolutely brilliant and their live version of Nantucket Sleighride is still one of my favourite tracks ever.

John Edrich

No Google..... 1977 edrich and Boycs scored their 100th first class century. On both occasions the same batsman was at the non strikers end.

Christmas trivia.... who?
