He looked awful when I saw his picture in the paper the other day, I guess all those years of smoking and drinking caught up with him, and must have been the trigger for the cancer in this case, I wasnt his greatest fan but he did a lot for the popularity of snooker.

I got into snooker in the 1980's when I met Steve Davis at Weston Favell Centre. In those days doubles snooker was on at Derngate (I was a kid and didn't go). I started playing snooker at Overstone Road Snooker Club around that time. Alex wasn't my favourite player but was part of the golden age of snooker (imo)

I can't help feeling you are being a little harsh there. Yes she was definatley facked up in her life, but one cannot ignore the fact that so many of her antics were nothing more than a cry for help from an obviously very sad person. Maybe her record label should have been more intereted in her well being than when she would earn them a few more quid.

Amy Winehouse had an addiction to drugs anybody with an addiction is asking for trouble. I lost a good friend through drug addiction, he knew all his friends wanted him to sort his addiction put but alas he lost his fight against his addiction. I miss him terribly but have found myself wanting to help people addicted to drugs rather than to chastise them...
one final thought, would she have written the same material if she was clean of drink/drugs?

wrong.

one day she was anonymous and the next, literally the very next day, she couldnt leave her house to buy a pint of milk without 100s of paps taking her picture, pointing their cameras through her living room window. herorin puts you in a bubble where everything outside of it doesn't matter. in her situation im not surprised she wanted a way ot of that. heroin, the bubble, was her way out and her way to get away from the f/cking mentalness that got thrust upon her. I saw her a couple of times, the 2nd was at glastonbury 0 or whenever Jay z was there. luckily she played my favourite song of hers (My Tears Dry On Their Own) 2nd or 3rd when she was still with it, so that sounded good. After that she went downhill rapidly. Shame, big voice, great talent, couldnt cope with it. I actually have used the example of winehouse to my mum about why people do drugs, to get away from the s*** in their lives for a few hours. And it actually made her understand as well which surprised me as she'd always been roughy anti before that

Wilf Dixon, coach/ trainer at Everton when they won the title in 1970, also coach at Tottenham and Arsenal, and other smaller clubs like Aldershot and Southend, he lived in the same village as me, would talk for hours about football. I took him to watch a Cobblers training session in the the Gray/Sammo era, he talked to them for ages about the game.
RIP true gent professional and friend aged 94.

Rik Mayall was a superb comic actor, Am genuinely gutted that he`s died.

There is an excellent quote from Ade Edmondson.

 'There were times when Rik and I were writing together when we almost died laughing. They were some of the most carefree stupid days I ever had, and I feel privileged to have shared them with him. And now he's died for real. Without me. Selfish bastard.'

There was a queue of people waiting for Jack to sign things, so I said I better let him get on with things, his answer was "They can wait, we're talking football" and I chatted to him for around 15 minutes. An absolutely lovely bloke and so down to earth. RIP Jack .

My folks went to see him at the Derngate last year and said he appeared to be on his last legs then. My dad was particularly scathing, saying he didn't appear to know what was going on most of the time, repeatedly needed reminding what to do next and was generally quite embarrassing to watch.

It's a shame that he's gone because, to be honest, he sounds ideally qualified to be recalled for his long awaited first team debut....

I dont think that he was over rated, to be fair he was superb at his game, and he danced around Terry Fenwick when he scored THAT goal, but there was a dark side to him.
I dont recall Thierry Henry getting the same level of abuse when he allowed the ball to run up his arm against Ireland.

Brian Docker writes:A few years ago I played in a charity golf day at the Warwickshire GC, where Frank Worthington was one of the guests and I had the pleasure of sitting next to him at dinner. He told the story of a goal he scored against Liverpool. In front of the Kop he nutmegged Tommy Smith, the defender, before putting the ball in the back of the net. Tommy said: “Do that again and I’ll break your neck.” Frank asked the ref if he’d heard the threat, to which the ref replied, “I did, Frank, but I don’t think he was talking to me.”

To be fair, Baldy didn’t say Peter Faulk (sic) died recently. Perhaps he’s just trying to open up the thread a bit. In that case my contribution is F. Scott Fitzgerald, the great writer. Or perhaps as he’s spelt the name as ‘Faulk’ rather than ‘Falk’ it’s another person completely, a friend possibly. The similarity of the names probably would mean he would be nicknamed ‘Columbo’. I knew someone once called Barry J. Corbett , and he was always known as Steptoe- or was it Sooty? If this is the case, then commiserations to Baldy for his loss. I found during a recent bereavement, playing loud classical music helps, though it can drive the neighbours half-crazy.

One of my claims to fame, Jimmy Greaves told me to **** off ! The Cobblers played at Brentwood in the FA Cup back in the early 1970's and after the game we were in their clubhouse when I spotted Jimmy Greaves, So I asked him to sign my programme and that's when he told me to go away.
   Looking back, that was probably his "Prime Time" as a drinker and he didn't want to waist it by signing autographs !!!

For me it was the start of a revolution. Being gay was becoming albeit slowly acceptable, the far right was on the decline(though not completely), the shackles that our parents were under were not removed, but certainly loosened, we got to speak for ourselves, wether it did any good I don't know, but they were Halcyon Days.

The Godley & Creme-directed video depicted a wrestling match between then-US President Ronald Reagan and Konstantin Chernenko, then Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in front of group members and an assembly of representatives from the world's nations. The match eventually degenerates into global destruction. Certain violent moments ("Reagan" is seen, for example, biting "Chernenko's" ear) were edited from the version shown on MTV.

Motty, surely the greatest football commentator of all time and the man whose voice I imagine whenever anyone mentions something that has been said in a football commentary.

My personal favourite was during an England match at one of the major tournaments (2002 World Cup, I think)

I forget the exact wording but it was something along the lines of "Argentina aren't happy, but who cares?" Then there was a brief pause followed by a little chuckle to himself.

We were watching it at work and that chuckle triggered a huge roar of laughter amongst us.

Some months later, we were out at for lunch at Motty's local in Redbourne and he was in there having a drink. One of my mates (who wasn't really a football fan) went over and told him that story and said that moment had been the highlight of the tournament for him. Motty was very gracious about this, but was somewhat perplexed as he hadn't realised he'd done it!

Ian Bairnson passed last week. Good guitarist, played with the Alan Parsons Project, Pilot and did a lot of session work. Perhaps most notably did the guitar solo on the end of Wuthering Heights for Kate Bush. Another one who had Alzheimers.

Take a listen to the 1972 album "Don Quixote", it's packed with classic songs from start to finish.

RIP Gordon

Linda Lewis singer and Rock Chick aged 72 years. She had a few hits including "Rock-a-doddle-doo" and "It's in his kiss". She was married, at one time, to Jim Cregan who played with Rod Stewart and also Family.
    When Family played at the Cricket Club in the 70's, she was the support for the tour but "Big Bob", who booked the bands at the Cricket Club, couldn't afford to pay for her as well, but she was there and finished up sitting next to me on the very small balcony to watch Family and was a very nice lady. I was one of the site electricians, that's how I was up on the balcony.

Couldn't find any footage on YouTube but the whole "Glastonbury Fayre" film is on netflicks, great stuff. Terry Reid with Linda Lewis is the first band footage followed by Fairport Convention with Dave Swarbrick, right up your street. There's also a great Family number and a great performance from Melanie and my personal favourite, Quintessence. Fantastic stuff from 1971.

My wife and I would often bump into John down the King’s Road and he was such a friendly chap, and I reminded him of the fiery encounter just after Christmas 1965 when Chelsea beat us 3-2 in a passionate atmosphere at the County Ground. Graham Moore made his debut, and we were up against Peter Osgood, Terry Venables, George Graham amongst others. He mentioned Terry Branston as a formidable defender, or words to that effect!! Also quizzed John on why Richard Hill suddenly changed his mind in joining Chelsea when he was their manager. He told me the whole story. Trouble is, I’ve forgotten it all now!
A really pleasant genuine man.

John Hollins was one of the coaches there (along with John McGovern) whilst we were "inspecting the pitch" & I cheekily said "so, when are you signing me up" ;D to which he replied "show us what you can do & you never know"

Unfortunately, I didn't make the grade, but will always remember what a lovely chap he was to us all on that day.

With any luck they will top him. It's probably the best outcome; he gets removed by internal factions so there's no pointing the finger at the west or Ukraine for responsibility. Russia get to climb down without losing too much face by saying the whole Ukraine situation was due to Putin and they can start rebuilding a few diplomatic bridges.

We had Pete Tong doing a set for us last week. Considering he was probably picking up £100k for the pleasure he was a seriously grumpy, awkward, disengaged individual at the meet and greet.

A mate of mine used to do a lot of hospitality at Anfield through the company he worked for who were a big sponsor of Liverpool at the time.

The guests in the hospitality suite could vote for their man of the match after the game and whoever won would be dragged in to say a few words and sign some autographs.

Apparently Steven Gerrard was very much in the same mold as Pete Tong; whenever he was bought in he'd be sullen, rude and would make no effort to hide how much he hated being there.

One game they had their CEO there and Gerrard won. When they realised they decided to rig it so Carragher won instead as they felt their CEO might feel he wasn't getting his money's worth if he encountered Gerrard's charm offensive!

I'm not old enough to remember the real pioneers, and like a lot of others here Steve Wright was part of my life since listening on the school bus in the 80s.
For me it was Steve, Mark and Lard, Chris Evans (90s not now!), Chris Moyles and Danny Baker.
The only DJ on the pirate ship we still have is Bernie Keith. And he has just spoken a wonderful tribute to Steve on his show.

When my little girl was at nursery I'd drop her off and then come home and have breakfast while watching the BBC Breakfast programme. Around that time they started to follow Rob Burrow's story and one of the presenters got really close to him and his family. It's always been really moving watching them as this horrible disease took hold and he faced every challenge with courage, humility and humour.

Each time they featured him it was shocking how much he had deteriorated since you'd last seen him and a particularly memorable moment came when they showed his incredible wife just scoop a once stocky man up into her arms and carry him like a baby.

The work he and Kevin Sinfield have done to raise money for MND is inspirational and the centre they are starting work on today for MND sufferers is a fitting memorial.

And as an aside, doesn't everyone deserve a friend like Kevin Sinfield? That man deserves a knighthood

Moving words and as Manny said a truly horrible disease - such a brave man, together with his family and friends - I’d love our religious types (whoever your imaginary god happens to be) to explain how these deities of supposed love and peace allow such wicked diseases happen - and not the usual bollocks of testing our faith.

I'd imagine that statements chases off any option for a debate regarding faith. It doesn't sound like you're up for it at all mate 😊

We used to have a chap who posted on here, who worked for an MND charity. I should imagine as tragic as this poor chaps premature death is. Him, his family, and his friends have shone a light on the cruelty of this awful condition. And have most certainly paved the way for better research and services for those currently suffering. And for those as yet undiagnosed. A life taken far too early. But certainly not wasted.

He was the sort of act that was probably best suited to a Pontins holiday camp ballroom, spangly suits, a pint of mild n bitter, and an illuminated sign saying "baby crying in chalet no 416".  And not very funny.

Funny you should say that, me and my mates once saw him at Butlins.

And by "saw" I mean we were walking past one of  the theatres and saw there was an act on when nothing had been advertised for that time. We stuck our heads around the door and heard him say "People think I'm gay but I'm not. I'm not! My boyfriend is but I'm not".

We then looked at each other, shook our heads and continued on to wherever we were going (probably the bar).

Yes. Played against him in late seventies. Certainly a class above. Think he had trials for West Ham. Last time I saw him he was working on the doors in Wellngborough about 20 odd years ago.

He had trials at Forest. I was chatting to his wife and mother in law the other day. He had been poorly for quite a long time. Recently in hospital as well. Played agains him a few times. RIP Nessy.

When he was playing for Spratton, they were playing in some cup game and he waddles out on the pitch busting out of his shirt. The other side were taking the pìss, but that all stopped by half time when they were 3-0 down. Paul scored the lot, one from about 30 yards when he nearly took the net out. Absolute class at that level. I hadn't seen him for years, but always had a good chat when I did. Last time I saw him he was doing a few nights on the door at The Mailcoach.

I played against him in a few semi finals and finals, but always took the piss by telling him I’d dropped down a level for him.. But he was a much better player than me, just struggled with his weight and more importantly the discipline at a higher level. He was easily a professional playing park football. I didn’t go to the funeral, I don’t do them if I can avoid them. But I set up the link so his mother in law could watch it. And sat with her for a while. It was sad to see how poorly he got. He wasn’t everyone's cup of tea. But he was, as the yanks would say, a blast. Characters like him are few and far between now.
