Baldock passed away on the day of his daughter’s birthday…
He was by all accounts extremely well-liked. Teammates showed up at his residence the minute it was made known and did not leave until late in the night even though there was nothing they could do and no one that could offer any answers.
31 years old. Take care of yourselves and cherish every day.
That goal against Palace actually sent my football development backwards for a period because I loved it so much I became obsessed with flick headers, doing them in all sorts of situations where they were completely inappropriate and not helpful at all 
See Adam Lallana and his Cruyff turns
He clearly bamboozled his fellow kids back in the day, showing off his shiny skill. And then he kept doing it throughout his career, whether the situation needed it or not!
I was at the Everton game when he scored that header - Shanks in his post match report said - “the lad was about an inch above the turf with that diving header” :0)
Prone to a touch of exaggeration was Shanks, but at the time without a zillion replays to watch… it certainly felt as though it was a bullet header, delivered in a somewhat Superman style of flying through the air to connect fully with it…
Special player with silky skills - RIP Peter Cormac
Regardless of what we thought of his politics, and setting aside the allegations about his behaviour, he was a significant and skilled politician. My condolences to his family and friends.
Probably disagreed with most of what he said and thought but he was a titan of politics in that country.
Large caveats there. Imagine they could be the start of an obit about some fairly odious political figures.
Paul Di’Anno
Saw him in 1979 with Iron Maiden.
RIP
Geoff Capes, the shotputter, has died aged 75:
He always seemed to be the goto reference for a big strong guy: “He was built like Geoff Capes.”
He came to my school once. The archetypal “gentle giant”.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Crikey, was he only 75? I thought he would have been much older.
Yeah @cynicaloldgit post above would suggest so.
RIP Geoff Capes, will always him as Shotput sportsman.
I seem to remember he was a policeman too? Could be wrong. Anyhow, I remember when he was in his pomp in the shot putt and then went on to win the world’s strongest man. I remember a VW Polo advert he did, where he rolled the vehicle over and put it back on its wheels.
A gentleman, and a gentle giant, fond memories of him from when I was a kid. RIP.
Maybe he was a teacher there - sort of imagining some Dumbledore’s age wise… or maybe he simply owned it.
Fixed it for you.
Teri Garr has passed away.
My most sincere condolences to her family and friends.
