Roger Hunt, age 83.
Scored the first ever goal in Match of the Day, and I think it used to start the intro at one stage too.
Colin Powell worth a mention though possibly not to the younger among you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Powell
I remember him lying through his teeth to the UN to try to justify the invasion of Iraq. What I didn't know is he had a role in whitewashing the My Lai massacre too. May he rot in hell.Quote:

Jesus yes. When your cabinet buddies include Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld it's easy to look positively angelic in comparison.
Walter Smith was a Scottish football great and too modest to shout about it
Announced today. I thought he was older than 73.
Always struck me as a very decent man.Quote:

Seán Fitzpatrick.
May devils be poking up the bottom around about now.
For all the obsession with money and property he ended up with what everyone else does - 6x3, and maybe sooner than he should have. Though it's a pity he did't get there via a spell in a 6x8 with bars on the window...
American football icon John Madden, I hope he said a Hail Mary instead of called for one.
Hugo Maradona, aged 52 of a heart attack.
I suspect he spent quite a bit of time having fun with his big brother...
Golden Girl Betty White dies aged 99.
Three weeks short of her 100th birthday in January
Meatloaf. Gone like a bat out of hell.
I was sad when I heard that, one of my favourite artists. There won’t be a dry in the house at the funeral.Quote:

He was a genre all to himself which i think speaks volumes about how talented and appealing he was, musically.
Really liked him in Fight Club too.
Turns out Covid was the cause of death. Sad to lose a music icon over a refusal to be vaccinated.
