Marvin Hagley was ferocious and a warrior.
An awesome fighter.
RIP Marvin.

Another name from my youth gone , I remember his first match Vs Minter and the scenes afterwards. A brute of a boxer , his bout v Hearns will rightly go down in history as one the best ever

When the best boxing was ont telly. I think that era of Hagler, Hearns, Duran and later Sugar Ray was up there with the best in history. How about this for a 1st round.
Hearn's stare was enough for me. I would have been beaten just by that. :|

I remember that fight well 1000.
Unbelievable first round, both fighters going toe to toe taking some big shots. Incredible stuff.

Yaphet Kotto who played Mr Big in Live and Let Die has passed away aged 81.
Still my favourite Bond film to this day.
He was also in Alien.
RIP

An attacking midfielder who boasted a ferocious shot, Lorimer was the youngest player to represent Leeds at the age of 15 years and 289 days and went on to make 705 appearances for the Whites over two spells.

He is the club’s all-time top goalscorer, having netted 238 times in all competitions, and was part of a legendary team under Don Revie.

During his brilliant Elland Road career, he won seven honours, including two league titles, the FA Cup and League Cup.

Lorimer was renowed for not only for his spectacular goals, but also for the awesome power he generated with his explosive right boot.

Earning nicknames such as ‘Hotshot’, ‘Thunderboots’ and ‘Lash’, he once smashed a penalty that was recorded at 107mph.

“Peter’s contribution to Leeds United will never be forgotten and his passing leaves another huge hole in the Leeds United family,” the club said.

“He will always remain a club icon and his legacy at Elland Road will live on.

“Our thoughts are naturally with Peter’s wife Sue and the rest of his family at this difficult time.

“Rest in peace, Peter.”

Frank Worthington has passed away aged 72 after a long battle with dementia. Wonderfully entertaining and a bit of a maverick. Played 30 odd games for us and scored 14 times . Scorer of one of my favourite goals for Bolton against Ipswich in the late 70s . RIP Frank .

Ex-Leeds player of course, Frank was a real character in 70's football.
