    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Charles Whiting, author of numerous WW2 books (my passion after Irish soccer). He also wrote under the name Leo Kessler which portrayed the war from the German side but wasn't as good as Sven Hassel.

    Tommy Makem. The Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem. There was a time when you couldn't turn on the TV without seeing them in their Aran pullovers singing ballads and traditional Irish music.

    Tenor Luciano Pavarotti

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6981032.stm

    One of 'The Three Tenors' and singer of 'Nessun Dorma' for Italia 90. The song was probably better than the tournament.

    Jane Tomlinson RIP

    Jane Tomlinson, who died on Monday aged 43, was a radiographer and amateur athlete whose prodigious fund-raising efforts for cancer charities as she fought the disease herself were widely acclaimed as inspirational; she began to run competitively only when told she had two years at most to live, although in the event she survived for nearly seven.

    Aw god, Anita was one of my inspirations in life, a strong business woman who cared about the earth as much as her profits. Cant believe she has dropped dead like that. RIP Anita. (I dont buy much in body shop coz dont really use many cosmetics but I always admired their ethos)

    He also played for and managed (but then so have about 100 people in the last 20 years ) Sheffield Wednesday but I shall never forget Sunderland's victory over Leeds that day which was the stongest English team of that generation with Giles, Bremner, Lorimer, Clarke etc. One of the all time "shocks".

    I'm speechless. Maybe there should be a minute's noise at the start of the next French game in his honour.
