Steven Smith (Smithy). Didn't know him personally, but I know he used to work for Wolves for many years as you'd regularly see him around the ground.

You can tell he was well thought of my the names donating to the gofundme campaign

What an innings. He was still gigging up to last year

The word 'Legend' is thrown around too easily these days, but for me, Chuck Berry will always be an absolute Legend. His place and his contribution to Rock History and his Influence can never be over-estimated. Certainly not enough room on here for me to do the great man justice in my admiration for him.

Just a couple of examples, Roll Over Beethoven and Johnny B Goode are just timeless works of genius and Chuck was such a clever lyricist too.

To many musicians, Rock 'n' Roll started with Chuck Berry.

John Lennon said that if Rock 'n' Roll had another name, it would be Chuck Berry.
Mick Jagger said Chuck Berry "lit up our teenage years, and blew life into our dreams of being musicians and performers".
Bruce Springsteen said he was "the greatest pure rock 'n' roll writer who ever lived".

Chuck, your music inspired so many wonderful artists that were loved by millions the world over and you will never be forgotten.

RIP Chuck Berry. Mr Rock 'n' Roll !!

Martin McGuinness aged 66.

That's a shame. Did more than anyone to bring about the peace process.

That's a shame. Did more than anyone to bring about the peace process.

His actions more than most meant there was a need for a peace process though.....

 

[visage]

Don't think he was around in 1922...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

His work over the last two decades was outstanding. Being conciliatory with Ian Paisley of all people is a good illustration of how he was willing to compromise and talk. Something our current Government could learn from.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

My point is, it was the 'work' he did during the 70's and 80's that meant he had to work so hard for peace during the 90's. As much of a bastard that he is, Ian Paisley does not have blood on his hands, McGuinness did.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

One cannot ignore the work put in by McGuinness to help bring about the peace process, but his victims will never forget his actions during the troubles.
