AKA……..Der Kaiser (see page 29)RIP Franz Beckenbauer
I know he was German, but he couldn't help that.
One of a small group of truly legendary players, the like of whom we'll never see again.



The last one gone from Dad's ArmyIan Lavender - Don't tell 'em Pike, has passed on at the age of 77. One of the classic comedies of all time - a rather gentle pace but I'd guess we all look back fondly on this one.
RIP Ian.
Hear hearI know it’s mentioned in the news thread also, but he deserves to be here….
RIP Alexei Navalny
A brave, brave man. Very few have that sort of courage and conviction.



My first Charlton game was a League Cup replay, which we lost 0-3 to QPR, and Stan the Man scored, which everyone expected him to.RIP Stan Bowles

Not everyone's cup of tea perhaps, but he kept Wimbledon in the Premiership for years when they were ground-sharing with you-know-who.
