I used to like those Saturday mornings. Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon, followed by Tiswas when my parents thought I was watching Swap Shop, and then a Weissmuller Tarzan or something like Champion the Wonder Horse before Grandstand started.

Should have been renamed Rebel the Wonder Dog because he was the hero in most episodes.

Fucking loved Champion the Wonder Horse but yes Sniffer, Rebel was my favourite. Uncle Sandy can fuck off, didn't trust him.

Tiswas was cool, fuck Swap Shop

Noel Edmunds or Sally James.

Tough choice.

Trevor Whymark, former Ipswich striker and one cap wonder for England, 74.

I used to love watching that great Ipswich side play. Even against us and I still have fond memories of that epic FA Cup tie. They were a great side and Whymark was such a classy player. Sad to read he died from Alzheimer's. Only 74. RIP Trevor. Thanks for the memories.

Quincy Jones Has a Story About That

Quincy Jones has run with Frank Sinatra. Michael Jackson. Malcolm X. Prince. Even Tupac. And the 84-year-old music legend has a tale to go with every famous name.

One of the best interviews I've ever read. Man lived a life.

Tony Todd, 69.

Marco Angulo, FC Cincinnati midfielder. Aged 22.

Someone who was born after 2000 shouldn’t be dying before me. Overly simple take, I know.

Sorry, I offended you. I've removed it. If you knew how dementia has affected my family, you might understand my gallows humour...
