Aston Villa legend, Gary Shaw.

A tribute to Gary Shaw

The thoughts of everyone at Aston Villa are with Gary’s family and loved ones

Knee injury stuffed his career. Unfortunate not to have won a senior England cap but sat behind Keegan, Frances, Woodcock, Mariner and teammate Withe in the pecking order.

Italian FIFA World Cup hero Salvatore "Toto" Schillaci

Italy World Cup hero Salvatore 'Toto' Schillaci dies, aged 59

The revered striker, who came out of the 1990 World Cup a national icon, died in hospital this morning.

A career defined by one month of football. Did very little before or after the summer of 1990, but had a great summer UEFA Cup, Golden Boot and Golden Ball.

Always seemed stunned / surprised by his success

Bugger. One of my favourite old lady actresses. Her acerbic Downton Abbey character was outstanding.

@MiketheSnow One of the greats. She had her first screen credit in 1954. I am sure lots of people will be watching some of film performances for another 30-40 years at least.

Haven't seen most of her cannon because I'm not a big fan of period drama

But what I have seen, she fills the screen

Uptick which more than makes up for writing "Me and Bobby McGee".

Multi-talented - loved his work with The Highwaymen

Way too young

That sucks. Who can forget his shot block followed by the finger-wagging. RIP.

Aw shit. Way too young
