RIP Dickie Bird,
and RIP Claudia Cardinale.

Both led fascinating and full lives in very different ways.

RIP Billy Vigar

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjvgkxlx88o

Only in his early 20's, died after sustaining a terrible injury when he collided with a concrete wall during a match.
Come on football authorities, take action to prevent things like this.
And don't make cash-strapped non-league Clubs pay for extra safety measures. Help them.
 
RIP Billy Vigar

The vast majority of non-league clubs I've visited have a fence around the perimeter of the pitch. I always thought it was a legal requirement, but this is clearly not the case.

RIP Billy

Having looked at pictures of Wingate's ground, it would appear they have a wall around part of the pitch, then a barrier.

The FA must order clubs to remove these walls and install fencing instead. If it takes grants to pay for it, then so be it.
 
RIP Prunella Scales. She didn't play Sybil the way Messrs Cleese and Booth wrote the character. Thank goodness.
