Brian Glanville 93. The best football writer of them all. Not only a fantastic writer on football, he wrote Cliff Bastin’s biography at 19, worked in Italy reporting on football there, wrote for a lot of programmes including That Was The Week That Was.You don’t see people of his standard any more.

Cheers icon George Wendt has died aged 76.

The legendary actor played the beloved Norm Peterson on the hit NBC show from 1982-1993 and earned six consecutive Emmy nominations for the role.

Wendt’s death on Tuesday was confirmed by his publicist in a statement which read: 'George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him.

Barry Fantoni 85. One of those who was part of being young in the 1960s. Wrote for TWTWTW, drew cartoons and wrote articles for Private Eye. Fronted a programme called A Whole Scene Going on, which was always interesting, featuring fashion, music and interviews. Twiggy’s first TV appearance was on there. Just watched an episode on youtube. Lulu was in it, a discussion with Spike Milligan and a long piece with Pete Townsend with a song by the Who closing the programme. Good mix.

Carl Virgil “Tinker” West aged 89.

Surfboard designer, gig promoter and once Bruce Springsteen's manager, quite a character by all accounts.

I thought I recognised the name from reading Bruce’s autobiography some years ago, particularly an account of when he made Springsteen drive a manual car across America when he had neither the required ability or licence.

Sounds an eccentric character but if Bruce liked him then he was probably a good one too.

RIP
