I didn't get one of his computers, but I got a lot of his chips. He loved playing at the Empire, and would often be found playing the £50 afternoon turbo comp there. He loved a limp/call.

RIP Sir Clive

I suspect this was a merciful release, he'd been vey unwell for some time.

One of my first football heroes, who I watched from The Shed end at Stamford Bridge.

RIP Jimmy.

His goalscoring record speaks for itself. For me, he was a superior talent to George Best. There’s that picture of him looking stunned as the final whistle goes in the ‘66 World Cup Final. No subs in those days, so Greavesie and the rest of the squad couldn’t even get kitted up. The older I got, the more I realised how much that must’ve hurt. Still, he seemed to have come to terms with it, and was a fantastic, droll counterpart to Saint’s straight man in the 1980s & 90s IIRC

RIP Greavesie

Goodbye the Great Jimmy Greaves. One of the best strikers we have produced. Probably the most prolific from my childhood days. Saw him at a Saint and Greavsie after dinner event in the 80's where they had us in stitches. RIP Jimmy, a true legend.

Surprised to see he was youner than you?

I met Lionel Blair once in the Palace of Westminster. It was about 5 years ago, I had no idea he was that old, he looked as fit as a fiddle.

He was dressed immaculately but was perfectly at ease chatting with me, a jeans and jacketed total stranger about the extortionate cost of tea and a bun in the cafeteria.

RIP.

The West End lights will be dimmed on Monday at 7pm to honour the passing of Stephen Joshua Sondheim today at the age of 91.

A powerhouse of the musical theatre in the 20th century he wrote the scores of some of the best know shows.

The article on his passing on the BBC News is a good read and includes one of the great emotional performances of Send In The Clowns by Judy Dench from the 2010 BBC Proms in 2010.

Dame Judy sang the song when she played the role of Desiree in the Royal National Theatre Production of A Little Night Music in 1995.

Sondheim wrote the song specifically for Glynis Johns, who created the role of Desirée on Broadway. It became Sondheim's most popular song after Frank Sinatra recorded it in 1973 and Judy Collins' version charted in 1975 and 1977. Subsequently, numerous other artists recorded the song, and it has become a standard.

It's my favourite Sondheim song and if you have ever fallen in love with the wrong person at the wrong time it is truly emotional.  The version I have chosen to post is that of the great Glenn Close. Enjoy.
