One deserving of applause, not silenceA great British athlete of a different age.
Also achieved great things as a neurologist.
A life well lived, me thinks.
RIP Sir Roger.
Wow!He asked my aunt to marry him but she didn't want to marry a workaholic.
RIP Not Uncle Roger.
Perfect tribute from Buffon:
"You have a young wife and family members who are suffering. Your little girl deserves to know that her father was in all respects a perfect person. You were the best expression of an ancient, surpassed world, in which values such as altruism, elegance, education and respect for others, were the masters.
You were one of the best sports figures I came across."
