Sad day to be losing Terry Hall... a true great.

Was well known to have quite bad depression. Not that there could be a link.

 

Sad news.

Not many of that team still with us now

Only Geoff Hurst and Bobby Charlton left now, I think, and Charlton is suffering from dementia. 

 

Hurst always seems in good nick, so maybe he'll live long enough to see England win something again, having stuck around sufficient time to see another WC Final hat-trick?

Terry Paine and Ian Callaghan (who both made one appearance each in the group stage before Ramsey decided to go without wingers) are both still with us. As is George Eastham, who was in the squad but didn't play.

I can vaguely remember seeing Paine and Eastham play live, when I was a kid in the early 70s - along with Hurst, Moore, Banks & Jack (but not Bobby) Charlton. Paine clocked up a ridiculous number of appearances for Southampton.

 

I thought that I remembered Callaghan playing for Liverpool until the late 70s (only saw him on TV, not live) and just checked. He was a starter in the 1977 European Cup final and on the bench in 1978.....not bad for someone in the 1966 WC squad.

Callaghan holds the record for the longest gap between caps for an England international. Was bizarrely recalled in 1977 in his mid-thirties after not having featured since the '66 World Cup. The England set-up was a mess back then though (around the time of Revie).

Can't see Hurst living to be 278.

You think that the England football team will have won a major tournament by the year 2219? Have to at the very least commend you on your optimism.

Very sad. RIP George.

[Foxdiamond]

As luck would have it 7 of the German lads from that game still with us. I think they were a slightly younger side on average. Some great players too.

Maxi Jazz, singer, 65.

 

So sad, superb singer with Faithless.

[Izzy]

At least he'll get plenty of sleep now 

 

RIP. Insomnia is an all time classic

[Tielemans63]

Some fantastic musicians have passed away this week. Some of my childhood heroes which makes me feel old.

My father in law died 6 weeks ago and it was his favourite song!

 

Hopefully they're all raving to it in a better place 🙏

Saw faithless live a couple of times. Incredible act.

 

I know many don't like dance music. But some absolute timeless classics, especially in the early days.

[chuck'em]

Seems bizarre that Terry Hall was younger than Maxi Jazz

"Insomnia" is a bit special. I'm 67 yrs old and I love it. I listen to it and imagine the light show that goes with it.

 

And take in the words and the reason for them.
