Re: The departed 2
Just checked & he had a small part in the Lavender Hill Mob, absolute classic.rigger wrote:Briggs was in a couple of Ealing comedies and Carry On Sergeant too, possibly another early one of those too.
I really liked him as a character actor. He didn't have a lot of range but he was so natural on screen with an easy smile and the cheeky wit to go with it.
RIP.

Glen Roeder passes away, aged 65.
When you retire, you switch bosses - from the one that hired you, to the one that married you.

Never watch soaps but from long ago I remember a lot of the Corrie cast, Mike Baldwin, Ena Sharples, Mini Caldwell, Ken Barlow, Annie & Jack Walker, Len Fairclough, Ray Langton & Deirdre, Albert Tatlock, etc. Couldn't tell you any of todays cast.
RIP Jonny

Re: The departed 2
RIP Glenn Roeder
Classy player, classy manager and from the eulogies from emotional ex-colleagues an all-round great human being.
One guy - I missed who it was - was on talkSPORT saying that he was under Roeder at West Ham and they got on brilliantly and he added some details as to how he worked with players, changing who he was depending on the character of the individual. The player was originally from the north-east and his mother had been ill for some time, which Glenn of course knew about.
One Saturday, Roeder took a call from one of the club secretaries to say that the mother didn't have long left, so on full-time he pulled the player to one side and told him just to get in his car and be with the family, saying don't worry about next week, etc.
About an hour later, as the player was in his car and Roeder presumably was on the coach or maybe in his own car, he called the player and stayed on the phone for four or five hours as he made his way up to Newcastle. The entire trip. Just talking football, talking family, music, politics, whatever, just to keep him calm and make sure he was okay.
The player was gushing about how much it meant and how utterly brilliant Roeder's man-management skills were.

I had read this and was going to post it. Sadly, men like him are a minority in football. RIP to a true gentleman.rigger wrote:RIP Glenn Roeder
