Off Topic RIP Thread October

Sprake the Shake. When he was good, he was very, very good. But ... R.I.P.

 

He certainly was a very good keeper but was however for infamous for his mistakes.

 

They didn't show the one where, on a very muddy pitch (remember those?) he tried to throw the ball out, but the muddy ball stuck to his hand and, losing his balance, he threw it into his own net. Hilarious to everyone except TWSers.

 

Dec '67, Anfield @ The Cop End. At half-time, the DJ played "Careless Hands", inspiring the home crowd to sing it throughout the second half.
RIP Gary Sprake, member of a great team.

Phil Chess, co-founder of Chicago’s legendary Chess Records, a label credited with helping to invent rock ‘n’ roll, has died in Tucson, Arizona, at 95. Mr. Chess and his brother Leonard Chess arrived in America as little boys, two Jewish immigrant kids from Poland. They started Chess in 1950, recording Muddy Waters, Etta James, Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy and other top musicians who spread the gospel of the blues. Teens in England and around the world heard the so-called “race music” Chess helped popularize, and the cross-pollination helped birth rock and roll.

Chess featured some brilliant artists and some brilliant recordings (of which unfortunately, I have too few).

 

I was surprised at that also as that was probably his biggest blunder.

 

How about 50 years ago today, Aberfan, 116 children and 28 adults died tragically.

Jimmy Perry, of Dad's Army fame. RIP

 

There isn't a much better epitaph than you brought laughter into millions of lives.

 

Jimmy Perry was an genius when it came to writing comedy, non more so than this clip. RIP

 

Sure was a classic.

 

Bobby was of a generationg of singers with simple, catchy pop tunes in the early 60's I loved his music, his kind lost out with the advent of The Beatles although Roy Orbison was an exeption. RIP.

A favourite of mine and actually a 'B' side.

 

Jerry Lee Lewis said the reason he loved the Beatles was that in America there were loads of Bobbies, Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton, Bobby this Bobby that. Then the Beatles hit America. No more Bobbies...

 

Has Pete Burns died? If so RIP.
