From http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/16383027.stm today:
"Gary Ablett, the only player to win the FA Cup with Liverpool and Everton, has died at the age of 46 following a battle against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma."
Only 46. Didn't even know he had been ill.
Can I have an R.I.P. Bob? :cry:
Bob Holness from a lot of our childhoods.

Hard to believe that Blockbusters finished in 1993.
RIP Bob and Gary.
It's starting up again this year according to wiki. Will be on Challenge. Used to really enjoy Blockbusters back in the day. You just don't get decent quizzes any more these days.
I really miss Going for GoldQuote:

But I only just found out tonight that Richard Burns died in 2005.
Truly shocked. In my defence I was in Australia at the time AND George Best died on the same day.

The last BBC update (20:56) says he is being treated in hospital. Reading the coding in the reporting, it doesn't sound good: 'Baroness Paisley has released a statement confirming that her husband is being treated in the Ulster Hospital.
'She has requested that the family's privacy is respected at a difficult time.' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-16911310)
If the rumours turn out to be untrue, it may be wisest not to leave the last few posts up. The haste seems a little unseemly anyway.
i just hope that someone has been appointed to tell him the Celtic Rangers joke if he wakes up.
I've edited the post (severely), called home this morning as the same person, a journo, had told me Cook was gone from Sligo, seems they want more compo.
Noel Kelehan died today, I didn't know he was such a mover, I'd only thought of him as the Eurovision guy and conductor with the RTE orchestra.

Tragic news from the music industry.
Jedward aren't dead.
Oh no.
Ar deis Dé*go raibh a h-anam.
So very disappointed to have heard that tonight. One of my favourite actors ever. RIP
Legend! One of the most re-watchable movies I know, Waking Ned, was made so much better with him in it. Great actor.
Davd Kelly was the first "celebrity" that I ever met. I was 9 years old, and I met him at Dublin Airport.
He was in Robin's Nest on ITV at the time, playing a one-armed kitchen hand. All I remember thinking was - there's that bloke off the telly and he's got TWO arms!! I've never trusted anything that I've seen on telly since :(
RIP

Hal Roach just passed away at 84 years young. Never rated him but I suppose it was humour for a different generation.
In other news, Ian Paisley was released from hospital.
Just announced in the last hour...

I walked into jjb in the square last week at lunchtime and Phil Taylor was playing an exhibition match. i'd say a lot of their money is still made that way.
Indeed they all make their money on exhibitions. They make serious money off those trips. Must do one a week across UK and Ireland at least.
