Have we ever played him at home?

Some hard-fought matches at home to him in the 1500s: Played Henry VIII & Thomas Cromwell up front and local fans over-ran his monasteries.

Then he brought in Bloody Mary as playmaker and gave us a bit of a roasting.

 

Last home fixture was an Anglo-Scottish Cup match in 1745, I think.

No idea, he could smash a lovely cross in though.

Dunno, but he must've done pretty well as he got an open top bus tour:

Considering that show is 40 odd years old, I think the rest of the cast(apart from Kirstie Alley) is still alive. The best thing about Cheers for me though, was that Frasier was created from it.

Sad one for me. I'm only in my (late) thirties, but M*A*S*H is my all time favourite TV show, to the point where it would probably be my specialist subject on Mastermind. Not too many of the main cast members left standing now. Off the top of my head, Hawkeye, BJ, Radar and Klinger?

Sly Stone, lead of Sly and the Family Stone died.

 

Absolutely not to be confused with Sly Stallone, if reading the BBC breaking news notification quickly... certainly don't tell anyone Stallone has died after doing so

If you ask me my favourite album, many days I'll say Pet Sounds.

[SpacedX]

I was blessed to have seen his performance of the entirety of 'Smile' in 2004 which was a glimpse into what could have been had he not have suffered such acute mental illness and subsequent domination by the tyrannical and talentless Mike Love at the helm. 

 

@Dr Marco will be particularly upset to learn this as are so many of us. 

 

The last of the Wilson siblings.

The musicians and other figures we admired in our generation are now of an age where they will shuffle of this mortal coil.

 

More to come.

RIP Legend.
