RIP⊠Brilliant Actor this guy
Farewell to one of lifeâs good guys:
My most sincere condolences to his family and friends.
I was in a band in the early eighties who had a tribute song for Pilger.
The lyrics were:
John Pilger, reporter extraordinaire
John Pilger, heâs bald, but heâs got long hair
RIP
I think most of us have been aware of the final, painful journey of this guy
RIP - Derek Draper 1967 - 2024
David Soul - Starsky & Hutch star dies aged 80
I know this means nothing, but I was randomly watching a film with âStarskyâ in it last night.
Anyway, I enjoyed David Soul in the Salemâs Lot miniseries.
RIP
Mario Zagallo, the first person to win the World Cup as a player and a manager, has died aged 92.
Rest in peace, Mario 
He never gave up and Kate, what she went through seeing him suffer must have been heartbreaking, what a devoted wife.
May he rest in eternal peace.
This is also reminder of how the Corona virus mercilessly took so many lives of many people, with so many families effected. This government should never be forgiven of what they did in not taking this pandemic seriously and in not providing adequate PPE to key workers.
Canât believe he is gone. I was a fan of Starskey and Hutch. Without them, we wouldnât have got Cagney and Lacey, CHips, Miami Vice etc. David Soul was a good singer too, had a few hits.
RIP
R.I.P. Franz Beckenbauer.
I am so shocked and saddened at the passing of Franz Beckenbauer at the age of 78.
My Dad was a great admirer of Beckenbauer. He is true iconic legend of football.
He was often mentioned in the same sentence as Cryuff and Pele.
Beckenbauer isnât just a huge loss to Germany, but to the world of Football. He
changed the game, not only as a player, but as a manager and with the various football federation.
Condolences to his family and our fellow German Reds on TAN.
How is the reaction from Germany?
Sadness in Germany:
The 74 World Cup was the first I remember so those German and Dutch players were really my first introduction to international football.
I remember my Dad talking about the 1974 final. The Dutch were the favourites, but Beckenbauer and MĂŒller got my Dad and his mates talking.
What is amazing was Beckenbauer was a central defender and he won the Ballon dâor twice which is unusual.
Seeing him play gave you the impression that football is so very easy. And often even elegant.
Here in Germany he was admired by everyone who loves the game no matter what club you support. Few players achieve that.
What a player he was. A true great. Up there with Cruyff and Pele imo. He graced Anfield on a couple of occasions in European competition with FCB. RIP to Der Kaiser.
In the final in 66 Charlton, Englandâs best player and top scorer going into the final, was given the job of man marking him. That is a sentence that does not makes any sense without Beckenbauer being the CB in question.
