I remember reading something about him once and he had had skin cancer while on building sites as a young bloke and he was very big on people covering up on sites.
Funny bloke I liked him
RIP
I am stunned and saddened to learn of Sean's passing. I loved his dry acid wit on 8 out of 10.
RIP Sean.
RIP Sean.

Genius.
Genius.
We certainly loved Sean Lock in the Alte Haus - we reckon that he'd have been great company on a night out. Really sharp wit without a hint of nastiness. RIP
Just astounding stats RIP
Muller’s numbers were terrific: 62 international appearances, 68 goals; 716 club appearances, 654 goals. In seven of his 15 seasons with Bayern Munich, he averaged a goal a game or better — and in another he averaged 0.95.
Muller came from adversity. He was sent out to work as a weaver at 15 when his father died, because his mother could not afford to keep him at school, and he got his break scoring 51 goals in 31 matches for local club TSV 1861 Nordlingen. Bayern Munich were not even in the top tier when he joined. His first contribution was 39 goals in 32 games as they won promotion from Regionalliga Sud. The club you see now is built on Muller’s relentless finishing.
Later, I ghost-wrote a book about goalscoring with Malcolm Macdonald, and we shared a mutual appreciation of Muller in particular. Malcolm said he had rarely seen him score from outside the area, or hit a shot that didn’t bounce before finding the net — but that no goalscorer had made the penalty area his domain as expertly, before or since.
As for Muller, he explained his gift much the way Greaves did. ‘Somehow, something inside tells me, “Gerd go this way, Gerd go that way”, and the ball comes over and I score. I can’t explain it any better than that. After all, if I don’t know how to do it, no one can find out how to stop me.’ And they never did. Some talents are just innate.

Eddie Healey, 83. And there were people flicking two fingers at Assem Allam when his car was at the traffic lights last Saturday before the QPR. Two men of similar age, two men who have made a lot of money, one considerably more then the other and proof that no matter how much you have when your time is up, its up. Also you cannot take it with you.
Condolences to the Healey family who have had more then their fair share of tragedy.
Eddie Healy will have certainly have left his mark.
I just wish he could have made it with Hull City.

Worked in Eddie’s house many years ago, he wasn't there, but we fitted a German kitchen, obviously his MFI kitchen company that he owned wasn’t good enough for him, it was about the time he had that crap group, 5 Star at his house for his daughters 21st birthday party
and Belinda Carlisle as I recall...?
