Milan Mandaric, the former Portsmouth, Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday owner, has died at the age of 87. Mandaric's family released a statement which said he passed away at a hospital in the Serbian capital of Belgrade on Saturday following a short illness. The Serbian-American businessman, whose first involvement in English football was in 1999 when he bought Portsmouth, was most recently the vice-president of Serbian team Vojvodina who are based in the city of Novi Sad where he grew up. "His love for football was only surpassed by that for his family. He will be sadly missed by his two daughters and three grandchildren," said a family statement. Mandaric owned Portsmouth from 1999 to 2006, Leicester from 2007 to 2010 and Wednesday between 2010 and 2015.
RIP our dog Chloe today. Anyone who's a dog lover (or any pet for that matter) knows how hard it can hit you as they really do become such an integral part of your family. We had to videocall the last few minutes with our daughters who are at Uni in the UK, which just made it even harder for everyone. **** I'm off for a drink, I need it.
I remember him from the old black and white tv days. Seen him in a lot of things over the years. R.I.P. John.

The Moody Blues vocalist John Lodge has died "suddenly and unexpectedly", aged 82, his family have confirmed. The bass player and "massive-hearted man" joined the band in 1966 with fellow singer Justin Hayward, following the departure of Denny Laine and Clint Warwick. Birmingham-born Lodge played on songs such as Nights In White Satin, Question and Isn't Life Strange. The family said their "darling husband", father, grandfather, father-in-law and brother "peacefully slipped away surrounded by his loved ones and the sounds of The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly". Lodge featured on some of The Moody Blues' best-known work including the psychedelic album Days Of Future Passed (1967), and its follow-up, In Search Of The Lost Chord (1968), which saw the band move towards further experimentation. He also featured on the albums On The Threshold Of A Dream, To Our Children's Children's Children, A Question Of Balance, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and Seventh Sojourn, which saw the band move into full scale progressive rock. Lodge also featured on 1977's Octave album, which saw the group embrace a more pop-oriented sound and continued to make records with the band until their final studio album December, a collection of Christmas songs released in 2003.
Snap.... A very young Joan Armatrading was the support act...Good concert from memory. Hayward and Lodge did the classics....Nights in White Satin....Question, et al.
