Very sad news.

Sad indeed, we used to have an old Inspector who we named Boycie as he was a ringer. OFAH in my top 3 funnies and Challis played his part in that.

Roger Hunt has passed away aged 83. Just 3 of the Boys of 66 left. Bobby Charlton, George Cohen & Geoff Hurst.

R.I.P. Roger.

Yes we lost another of the 1966 World cup squad.
Saw him playing several times at Elland Road and Anfield, 1965 FA cup final, and the last time in 1973 playing for a touring team in Southern Africa.
The touring team was managed by a West Brom coach, just forget his name. He invited several well known players for the team, Also in the team were Fulham England full back George Cohen, one of the Springett brothers in goal, also our own Jim Storrie who's goals contributed to the Revie team gaining promotion from the old div 2.
He was in the top 3 goalscorers for several years in the 1960's an important part of the Liverpool team of that period.

Walter Smith has passed aged 73. Always came across as a proper football man.

R.I.P.

Aussie cricketer Ashley Mallett died aged 76, he played in 38 tests. Debut was against England in 1968 and last game in 1980 also against England.

RIP Ashley

Another Australian cricketer has passed 92 year old Alan ( the claw ) Davidson. R.I.P.

Make that 3 Australian Cricket deaths in the last 3 days as Peter Philpott aged 86 died. He played 8 tests for Australia in 1965 and 1966. He made his debut against West Indies and his final game was against England. He was also a coach for Yorkshire and Surrey in England and worked in a coaching role for the England National side in the 1990's. RIP Peter

Another cricket death with former England player Alan Igglesden aged 57 passing away, he had been dealing with a brain tumour (inoperable) for the past 2 decades. He played for England in 3 tests in the 1989 Ashes series. He played for Kent in England.

RIP Alan
