Cliff Michelmore,

The Man who Cried on Air, No BBC stiff upper lip, that night

Who could forget His emotional report from Aberfan live on BBC news in 1966

I think that disaster brought home to loads of British kids like myself, that you could Die, even just sitting in School. You were not Immortal just because you were a child.

fallen_archie, since you seem to be an authority on the stars of stage, screen, and radio, could you please tell me if dear old Winifred Attwell is still tickling the ivories ? This suddenly crossed my mind yesterday, as I was listening to my 'Mrs Mills' Knees Up Party' LP.

Thank you Marge, that inquisitive Duck has always had a fetish for fast fingered women.
He was a regular at the Wheeltappers and Shunters social club when Gladys Jordon appeared, smitten so he was😃

Dutch Legend Johan Cruyff has died of cancer aged 68

One of the Greatest players I have ever seen playing in the flesh

In 1972 I saw Him rip Rangers apart in the first ever Super Cup Final

[jd.linklater]

Just heard that on the News. A great shame, one of the finest strikers of his generation.

RIP Johan Cruyff 

[al**bear]

slight mistake in my post - I saw Cruyff at Ibrox in Jan 1973 not 72

[fallen-archie]

A pleasure to watch and a great footballer, RIP

[evoman3957]

Although I have never really been a Football fanatic ( other sports beckoned and still do ) there are some names I grew up with and admired, in football, Pele, Bobby Charlton, Johan Cruyff etc etc. I always thought of Cruyff as a man who had real talent and never abused it, or did anything to tarnish his stature..........a real Gentleman.

RIP Johan Cruyff

RIP Ronnie

Yep, another one gone. They're dropping like flies?

I've nevr gone much on comedy but the Two Ronnies were amusing, not like some supposed comedians who come out with a mouthful of obscenities.

[*.*..lola..*.*]

Classic Two Ronnies so funny.

R.I.P Mr Corbett, you will be sadly missed x

"We are sorry to announce that this service terminates here."

That was the message put up by the Wife of Phil Sayer, 62 who died yesterday

He is the Voice of the TUBE in London - 'Mind the gap'

[evoman3957]

I was mindful of that very gap many times over the years, not been a great start to the year has it !!
