Only 52. I know him best as the guy who resurrected my speedway team, worked hard to get Cradley Heathens back up and running, kept them going for a few seasons but they eventually packed up again.

Jeez, really that's terrible. I know he supported the Albion, but was always balanced on Wolves.

A thread for the loss of famous people or other deaths anyone on here would like to mourn.

RIP George Cole. I used to love Minder when I was a kid.

The Sweeney main cast is sadly all gone now too. Hope John Thaw makes him welcome upstairs.

The Sweeney was my fav show back in the day, don't scallop honk there had been such a gritty cop show up till then.

I loved the Sweeney and the Professionals when I were a bab.

The Professionals... aahh Lewis Collins... a hero of mine. Was gutted at his untimely death

 

[Templeton Peck]

Admitted to beating Rula Lenska because she was too clever. Charmer.
