Almost a year since I lost my Mum Cussie (august). But we were best friends for 68 years! Visiting Elland Road together many many times. That's why the old stadium is so special to me....

Great memories Swannie, football is the last thing my Mum would have gone to but my Dad bought me a Leeds mirror years ago, he supported Burnley though 🤣

Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir the last surviving member of the Four Tops dies aged 88. Probably won’t be many on here who don’t know a few Four Tops tracks.

Got to see John Mayall perform at a little nightclub in Connecticut over 40 years ago. What a privilege.

Iconic voice of 1990s hit show Gladiators John Anderson has died aged 92.

He was also a very highly regarded athletics coach.

Rip.
