Another massive loss to music lovers, very sad news. Trojan Records is down one of the greats. May he RIP.

Viola Ford Fletcher 111 ( one hundred and eleven) nobody famous, she was one of the last survivors of the Tulsa race massacre in 1921, started when a newspaper sensationally reported a black man had assaulted a white woman, an angry mob of white people were massing outside a courthouse, armed black men turned up to stop him getting lynched, two days of violence ensued, hundreds were killed and 35 blocks of buildings housing black families were burnt to the ground.

[Templeton Peck]

Imran Sherwani, Olympic Gold Medal hockey player. From Staffordshire and scored two goals in the 1988 Olympic Final.

Lot's of childhood memories of that team. Great winger.

 

[Lupo]

That team got my mates and I into Hockey for a while in the late 80s when we were in the 6th Form and we started to play the game, set up our own school Hockey team

 

[sycophantia]

I remember him being one of the stars of that show, it was a really fun competiton to watch.

 

[Lupo]

Jon Potter I think was the Hockey version of Gary Lineker and there was Sean Kerly

 

[Mel Evo]

There’s a name from the past. Sad news. For whatever reason that team also really resonated with me. Kerly was the star CF I think? Also got me into hockey at a school which was otherwise pure footy, and I found myself playing and thoroughly enjoying it at a decent level. A fantastic game to play (if not to watch so much).
