I doubt most on here will have heard of him but RIP Dick Hoyt, an inspiration to me as a father and an athlete. Completed 32 Boston marathons and 6 Ironmans with his son who has cerebal palsy and said when they were running it felt like he wasn't disabled.

Nice one. Had to read it twice, I thought first time in he was your father and you had cerebral palsy!
 
Often used to meet a mate for lunch at Mustafa’s on Fridays, when I had an office in the city centre and usually ended up in there all afternoon. Often went for a bite before City night games as well, always a friendly welcome, always a good meal.

RIP Mustafa
 
RIP Peter Lorimer...

One club man...When he hit one it stayed hit. I am surprised that he won so few Scotland caps.
 
Peter Lorimer
RIP hot shot.

Unfortunately not as many games were filmed back then and probably his best goal was not recorded. He jumped up and with a sort of jack knife motion struck the ball in midair with both feet.
I wasn't there, I was back in Hull watching City but people I know who were there were awestruck. There were two I worked with, not Leeds fans, one was a Charlton fan the other a Chelsea one and they were full of it on the Monday back at work.
 
As a young 10 year old winger with an almost Wilks like desire to cut inside and selfishly try to score every time, Peter Lorimer was a hero and somewhat of a role model for me (regardless of who he played for).

RIP Thunderboots.
I think you'll find his nickname was "Thunderfoot".
