Arguably the greatest cricketeer of all-time.

I had the pleasure of seeing Gary knock a century for the West Indies at Headingley in the 60s.

RIP Gary.

RIP Brenda, she had small roles in many good films and series.
Must admit, I never knew she was in Casualty 😄
I’ve barely watched it tbh.

That's all I know her from. First couple of series were decent before it became a soap. The PITT has blown all medical dramas out of the water though

Never seen My Left Foot because 19 times out of 20 I see "based on a true story" and that puts me off. There are exceptions though.

I think they considered themselves as both , a bit of metal too ... influenced greatly by punk but came along or just before the grunge thing came about, doesn't matter anyway , just a very good band , my thing is most definitely punk and I can happily listen to L7 , Jennifer Finch also founded a band called The Shocker in a period when she wasn't in L7 , early 2000's ...they are definitely punk . 59 is far too young though .

I had the pleasure of seeing Kevin play for Liverpool a few times.

What a footballer.

RIP.

I met him on the set of TVAM in Gateshead in the late 80’s along with Ulrika Johnson. He was a real nice guy, he signed a couple of Tee shirts for my kids, asking their names and what sort of things they enjoyed.
A sad loss.
