Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
That's very sad - motor neuron is a really horrible thing. Think I saw an interview with him only a week or two ago?
Also last week - Tony Green from Bullseye ("Iiiiiiiin One"), aged 85.
You lads of a certain 80s vintage like myself a will surely mourn Eric Carmen. His eyes were hungry. And a good woman could make him lose control.
Saw the raspberries open for KISS at MSG at some point. Good times?
Its funny, I always thought that was Michael Bolton
Paul Alexander, age 78. Never heard of him, but seems he was paralysed by polio in 1952 and was living in an iron lung ever since. He had to teach himself to breathe independently but still could never fully leave the lung. Despite that, he picked up a law degree and was called to the bar.
There's only one other person on an iron lung in the US it seems - Martha Lillard, who contracted polio in 1953 age 5. The polio vaccine was introduced in 1955 (though the 1956 All-Ireland finals were postponed here because of a polio epidemic)
Rose Dugdale, the daughter of an English millionaire who became an IRA activist during "the troubles".https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Dugdale
Emmet Stagg, Labour Politician who caused a bit of a furore back in the day when he was caught loitering in an area frequently by male prostitutes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmet_Stagg

Certainly a character was Joe!
OJ Simpson
Dickey Betts of the Allmans
Probably one of the few on here to see Charlie play. My parents brought me to my first game in 1962 vs Iceland (won 4-2) and Charlie played in that I think. Commanding centre back of the old school.
