JPR Williams - Rugby Icon - 74yrs Young
The former fullback, instantly recognisable with his low socks and long sideburns, also played for Bridgend, London Welsh and the Barbarians.
It was while playing for the Barbarians in 1973 against New Zealand that he was involved in what is widely regarded as the “greatest try ever scored” - a stunning 22-second blitz from one end of the field to another ending in a try by Gareth Edwards.
RIP JPR Williams

One of the best full backs, even to this day.
So good, Pep would have tried to sign him.
A doctor too.

Did WG play with a sweeper even back then? I always thought that it’s 1966 back four consisted of Hottges, Weber, Schulz and Schnellinger, with FB in a holding role in front of it. Oh well. Mind you, given his skillset, what a world class playmaker he could have been deployed further forward!

A bit of an obscure one to many I suspect but Tony Clarkin of the band Magnum passed away suddenly a few days or so ago. He was 77 and had been an active musician since 1972. Magnum has just released a new a album and we’re probably planning to tour again. He just never stopped writing, recording and touring.

She was a fabulous presenter, so different from the others. I remember late night radio shows introducing new bands to the airwaves and the Sunday show at 7pm. As far as i remember, it was a quite abit of dance alternative dance music she used to play alot.
RIP Annie Nightingale

God, I feel like I spent a LOT of my teenage years with her. It’s wild that she was older then than I am now and yet giving me direction on how to be a cool and youthful

Gigi Riva passed last night. When I was a kid and first started getting into football he was in that class of the greats of the previous generation you just missed being able to see. Probably what the kids today think of Zidane. Or how they’ll understand Messi in 5 years. These are the players against whom the players you were then watching were compared against. It always felt like they as much as the ones you were actually watching are made football so fascinating and awe inspiring.

Riva, Mazzola, Boninsegna, Rivera all magical names from football all those years ago. I remember the romanticism of Italian football. The rare occasions that we saw them they looked like giants of men.
RIP Gigi Riva, joins the great footballers in paradise…

In Italy it is widely accepted that he was the the country’s greatest forward ever before sly invented football and even after. First Kaiser Franz, now Riva. The greats of the 60s and early 70s are nearly all gone now. RIP Gigi.

Frank Farian, the German musician, has died. He’s not that well known, even in Germany, but his musical projects, Boney M and Milli Vanilli, certainly are.

Such a charismatic guy. For as iconic as Apollo and Dillon were, it’s always been a confusion to me that he didnt get more big roles
