that's shit man. Blue Lines and Mezzanine are essential parts of my youth, and Massive attack live were really exceptional. Lung cancer apparently.

Blue Lines and Mezzanine are 2 of the greatest albums of all time.

That's a bold statement there, matey

Both regularly feature in '100 greatest albums' lists. So not that bold a statement. And both are recognised as genre defining albums by many in the music industry. They might not be your genre but they without question are at the peak of what they do.

That's a difficult one for the club to handle delicately given the fans have been calling him every name under the sun for 2 years

Always seemed like a nice bloke and a proper Everton fan, he just couldn't keep up as football moved on.

Hanging onto power by any means possible wasn't a good move, let alone by a sick man. He should have gone when the other Board members resigned. For all his success in the theatre, he presided over the decline of a once great club. They are a complete shadow of themselves these days and have been very fortunate to avoid the drop the last two seasons. RIP Bill. Still a Husband, father and grandfather to others. Feel for them.

He sorted them out after the shambles under Peter Johnson tbf. The whole Moyes era was under Kenwright.

In the days when a wealthy owner could own a football club and have it compete. However, when Moshiri and his mob bought his shares, or the vast majority of, he should have bowed out gracefully instead of hanging on. I guess Kenwright / SJH were the last of their type and football is now owned by huge conglomerates or nations.

Being reported as an apparent drowning. He was found at his home.

 

[jd1981]

Sounds like a heart attack that then drowning

 

[Templeton Peck]

Do you think they'll show any Friends on TV as a tribute?

Comedy Central does everyday

 

[The Bear]

That's quite a shock. Very young but I know he had lots of problems with addictions that could have affected his heart.
