Today, my heart is heavy.
We lost an incredible person far too soon. A teammate, a friend, and above all, a truly exceptional human being. We shared the pitch together, but more importantly, we shared moments that I will carry with me forever.
He was one of the kindest and most professional person I have ever met. Always there for others, always giving his best — not just in football, but in life. Someone you could trust, respect, and learn from every single day.
The world has lost an amazing father, a loyal friend, and a person who made everyone around him better.
My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
Rest in peace, my friend. You will never be forgotten.

I met Tony some years ago when I was supplying products for the training complex. I remember him as a really nice guy…

Ooof, that makes me feel old.
I dont know how well the take stands up today, but back in the early days after the success of the Human Genome Project he was heralded as a critical factor in its completion even if never an official partner in it. The days of Clintonian Neoliberalism venerating private enterprise (using things paid for by the public and then privatizing their commercialization) maybe created a different perspective on his role than we’d get today

It was just announced the Ted Turner just passed.
It was probably from watching last night’s episode of CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip and despairing at what his baby had become

I remember his TNT channel being my introduction to ‘live’ US baseball (Atlanta Braves!!) which I didn’t realise initially was his team.
I think that channel was also my introduction to Longmire. And later endless repeats of Westerns.
