Great, creepy role in a great, creepy film.....

Sounds harshly strange, of course, but reckon some 'big' well-known celebrity will pass before the end of the year.

I reckon the Queen is already dead or absolutely on deaths door. Any sightings are lookalikes. Had a feeling Phil and the old bint would go this year.

Wilbur Smith. 

 

He wrote some terrific yarns but his later work was just sick. 

[Foxesmints]

Bertie Auld. Celtic great, one of the Lisbon Lions. The European cup win was one of my earliest recollections of football on TV. What a team. All born within a few miles of Celtic park.

Frank Burrows, former manager, including our caretaker manager for a short spell. Aged 77.

Also Top Child actor...Played with Errol Flynn in Kim....Also in other quite famous parts ( westerns,Dramas,) then later other Top films..

He went through the whole History of Hollywood...If his name was in the credits..then expect a Good film, or series..or a 30-45 Minute snippit..

A famous face, but often not sure from where......

Roy and Des are shitting themselves I bet.

John Sillett, Coventry Cup winning manager, 85.

 

I know him doing that meant we had 30-odd years of stick until this May but a great achievement for them and he always seemed a lively, jovial character. Sad loss.

RIP Ray  He really was a great player & 1 that would fit into todays game also

 

 

Former Liverpool and Arsenal midfielder Ray Kennedy has died at the age of 70.

Kennedy, who scored three times in 17 appearances for England, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1984.

He scored 71 goals in 212 games for Arsenal, winning the First Division and FA Cup double in 1971, before joining Liverpool in 1974.

During an eight-year spell at Anfield, where he scored 72 goals in 393 appearances, Kennedy won five league titles and three European Cups.

That's very young to be diagnosed with Parkinsons.

Just reading his wiki says showed signs of Parkinson’s in the early 70s so when around 21-22 so yeah very young.

 

Another bit which is quite sad 

“His life after football was difficult, as he had to deal with the effects of Parkinson's, the loss of his business, and the breakdown of his 15-year marriage. He remained reliant on charity to fund his medical expenses, and was forced to sell his medal collection and caps in 1993.”

 

Those players in that era, especially those like Ray that were top of their game must feel so jealous of the footballer of today where even a pretty bang average player is pretty much set for life.

 

I know they were playboys themselves in their day but not many could sit back and not worry after football and ended up with normal jobs where as there won’t be many of todays players having to sell their medals and have to rely on handouts.
