Blimey 34 years and he died just like that
Reading your post made me look it up on YouTube again. Truly sad. Horrible to watch. Dunno why I did.

I remember watching it as it happened, like everyone else I thought it was just part of the act but then they cut straight to a long ad break and suddenly it wasn't funny anymore...
Uber you bastard
Look what you made me do
Glad someone had the sense to go to an ad break
And why have so many ghouls felt the need to post links
It's a sad place out there sometimes

Today 7th May marks my Dad's 80 birthday. His Grand -daughter who is 7 has asked - Grand Dad do you remember what happened on your 7th Birthday. He replied it was the day the Second World War ceased.
On this day in 1893 The US Supreme Court made one of its most far reaching verdicts!
1893 - The Supreme Court of the United States rules in Nix v. Hedden that a tomato is a vegetable, not a fruit,under the Tariff Act of 1883.

A miscellany of things that happened on this day in history:
1626: Peter Minuit, the director of the New Amsterdam colony, bought Manhattan. legend has it that he paid about $24 in trinkets, and that the men he bought the island from weren't even the true owners and scarpered with the loot.
1883: After 14 years in construction, the Brooklyn Bridge is finally opened to traffic.
1940: Igor Sikorsky performs the first ever single-rotor helicopter flight.
1956: The first Eurovision Song Contest is held in Switzerland.
1988: Section 28 of the LGA is enacted, controversially banning local authorities from intentionally promoting homosexuality.
2014: something happens at Wembley....

Am I alone in being tired of our play-off final win being credited solely to Bobby Zamora? There were several heroes that day and I would say that both Rob Green and Richard Dunne deserved at least as much credit for the win as Zamora. I'm sick of the song, too - in fact I soon tired of it on the day itself.
It was a great day and I still love watching the replays, but OBZ day - really?
Sorry.

Goalscorers always get credit. You could also argue for Clint, seeing as he insisted on coming off in place of Hoillett after the sending off. He knew we needed to still carry a forward threat, and suggested he be subbed in probably the biggest game of his career.
But it's inevitable that people will focus on the goalscorer - they always do.
