RIP Don Howe, 80.

I knew a near-neighbour of his from Goldthorn Hill, Wolverhampton (a tad ironic that he lived there) who told me what a lovely man he was.

RIP Lemmy, a Burslem man so we'll claim him as a Staffy

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35192060

"Utterly unique" says Brian May, as though there's any other kind of unique or, indeed, any other kind of person...

I didn't see him play but I did see this guy, whose passing may be overshadowed by the above...

Just goes to show you never know when your time is up. We should all enjoy life, while we've got one....

Spot on Lee, I say this each time we receive "shock news" of someone's passing, even when they've been ill beforehand.... and make sure you know where you're going - folks seem to think it's funny that Lemmy decided he wanted to go to hell (one of his quotes featured on many people's Facebook "tributes") ...

RIP David Bowie

Love him or hate him - he was an iconic figure all through his music career, I was lucky enough to be of the Ziggy Stardust era (Torquay Town Hall - 16 June 1972).

Jack Bannister - another sad loss. Insightful, educating, experienced and often amusing. If I haven't bored you before with my story about his Birmingham Post column, ask me...

Haven't heard a word on TalkSPORT or Five Live, but then again he never played in the Premier League

Two sad losses announced by the BBC this morning ....

1) Sir Terry Wogan - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35453541 .. best remembered by me perhaps for his outstanding humour when hosting the sickly Eurovision Song Contest.

2) Tony Beard - http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/BBC-Rad ... story.html .. 'The Wag from Widecombe' best remembered for his wit, humour and local dialect when hosting the nationwide known Widecombe fair.

And Frank Finlay. A fine classical actor, but to me he will always be remembered as The Witchsmeller Pursuivant in Blackadder. Hilarious!

To me he'll always be "Casanova". I was at an impressionable age then....

RIP Martin Crowe, possibly NZ's greatest-ever cricketer, 53 or 51 depending on whether you listen to Five Live or watch BBC News...

RIP John King. Legend.

Won't get much publicity because he "only" managed Tranmere.... column inches devoted to far less worthy newsmakers...
