Ham Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Yep very sad. From a time when it was OK to like rival team's players he was universally liked and respected. Wonderful footballer. Seemed like a nice bloke too. RIP Trevor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Sad news. Remember seeing him in the “Shoot” annual (late 70’s I think) holding £1m when he became the first million pound transfer. Seemed like a really nice bloke. RIP Trevor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ham Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Her son killing himself last year would appear to have been the final straw. Very ill for years. She used to live with her Nan on my Nan's street in Dublin before she was famous and she hung around with my cousin as a punk on Grafton Street before she became famous.

I remember Trevor Francis at Forest and Birmingham City. He had a distinctive round-shouldered gait, but was quick and skilful. RIP Trevor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Jane..a source of pleasure and enjoyment for us all through his career..I remember with great affection his weekly sports related column in the Sunday Times before he hit the silver screen....a humorous and deep seated love of sport always on show..comes to mind his theory as to why Sir Alf dispensed with wingers..pure gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boratsbrother Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) RIP Parkie! A true great of British broadcasting! Back in days when tv chat could be be silly fun (see his classic interview with Rod Hull and Emu) but also very interesting and informative, unlike today where everything is reduced to getting a cheap laugh. Though they were different types of broadcasters who made different types of shows, I'd also include the likes of David Frost, Alan Wicker and Clive James to the list of those who were brilliant at talking to people from all walks of life. They just don't make me like that anymore! Edited August 19, 2023 by boratsbrother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her brother Joseph has a book out that is a must read called 'star of the sea' Joseph is a contained genius.Unfortunately Sinead was an off the wall genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for "Nashville Grand Ballroom Gowns"...not all "Caribbean Fantasy"... others on here can give you great pointers......"A Pirate Looks at Forty"....."He Went To Paris"..... Added..Mark...a proviso....like listening to John Denver driving over a pass to the Real South Park as opposed to listening to him stuck in Shepherds Bush traffic..mood and place makes a difference...Jimmy B in drizzle on Fulham Broadway as opposed to Sunshine and sand in Anguilla!
