The R.I.P. Thread

Ali Ahmed Aslam aged 77, never heard of him? He’s the man who is credited as inventing the chicken tikka masala

A man, some chicken a customer had complained was too dry and a tin of tomato soup and the rest is history!

Maxi Jazz from Faithless, aged 65

Gutted. I didn’t realise he was 65! Would have had him down in his 50’s.

RIP.

He certainly didn't look 65, he also didn't look 45 when I saw Faithless at Glastonbury 20 years ago!

Former Uruguay midfielder Fabian O'Neill, just 49

Comic actor John Bird 86, probably best known for his work with Rory Bremner and John Fortune.

First thing I remember of John Bird was his 'Idi Amin Broadcasts' me and my mates thought it was hilarious in 1976, was comedy very much of its time.

Pele finally goes

 

[Paul]

We all knew it was coming but still sad to lose one of the greatest footballers ever, something like 1100 goals for Santos alone, a member of one of the greatest international sides in it's day and still only 5'8"; a true legend

There’s YouTube videos of everything modern players do that makes them great, pele was doing 50-60 years ago, on rubbish pitches with heavier footballs

With about 1% of the referee protection the current lot get.

Ah man. We lose the absolute greatest.
