Tony Sirico, Paulie from The Sopranos, 79

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

Uwe Seeler

☹️

Shortly after the Bradford City disaster there was a rematch of the 1966 World Cup Final at Elland Road to raise funds for affected families.  Uwe Seeler played centre forward and in the first half scored two belters, one a 20 yarder followed later by a bicycle kick.

Us Leeds fans were so desperate in those years that after his second goal we all started chanting ‘Sign him up, sign him up’.

EDIT - just found a ten minute clip that shows the first half highlights which is light years ahead of the first half dross I have just watched of Leeds v Palace in Perth.

A genuine acting legend . Personally I think of him as the man who created a way to store living brains in jars and the captain who was unhinged on Hornblower’s ship
