Vivienne Westwood

Just read about some of her exploits online. She seemed like a remarkable human being.
We could do with many more like her, but alas, she was "one of a kind". A diamond in our deep mantle of selfishness and greed.
Rest your weary bones dear Vivienne, you'll be ever remembered by those who have an eye for fashion and human decency. <rose>:emoticon-0153-broke

To me, Pele is one the three greatest sporting heroes. Along with Muhammad Ali and Wayne Gretzky. They wrote sporting history and reshaped how their sport was played. Consummate professionals both on and off their field of play.
Eldrick T. Woods did a lot for golf, but I don't believe his off the course philandering set a good example for the sport.

Two gone. Long may you live Wayne. :emoticon-0153-broke :emoticon-0153-broke :emoticon-0152-heart

THE iconic image of Pele and England’s Bobby Moore swapping shirts at Mexico 70 is one of the game’s greatest moments of sportsmanship.

The two legends had just battled it out in the ‘Clash of the Champions’ in Guadalajara, with 1958 and 1962 winners Brazil edging holders England 1-0 in one of the all-time World Cup classics.

For me, Nicklaus is the golfer who is the GOAT.

As well as leading the field with the highest number of Major wins (18 to Woods’ 15), Nicklaus incredibly had 19 runner-up finishes in Majors, and five of those came in a playoff or by one stroke.

Only two other golfers — Phil Mickelson and Arnold Palmer — have finished second in at least 10 majors.

Please forgive the intrusion, I thought some of the older ones on here may would be interested in this sad news.

Hull-born Queens Park Rangers star Keith Sanderson tragically dies on Christmas Eve after crash

Keith won the 1967 Football League Cup for Queens Park Rangers


The team was coached by the flamboyant football legend Malcolm Allison, who later moved on to Man City. Keith was rated highly by Allison as a strong-running midfield ‘ball winner’, signing him for non-league Bath City in 1963 and later for 3rd Division Plymouth Argyle the following year, alongside the likes of Tony Book.

Keith came across many successes in his footballing career, including playing and beating Oxford University at Wembley on two occasions as a Cambridge Blue. However the highlight has to be being signed to Queens Park Rangers, where he won the 3rd Division Championship and beat first Division West Bromwich Albion 3-2 at Wembley in front of 98,000 spectators, overcoming a half-time 2-0 deficit in 1967.

Keith Sanderson was there in 1967 when I first starting watching the R's with my Dad. A really solid dependable player. RIP <rose>
