Another blow for the bond family.....four gone in less than a year.
Pretty shite actress but had some other appealing qualities obviously. Also in a few 80s Conan rip offs and that 70s show. RIP

Gerry Marsden.

The Gerry and the Pacemakers singer's number one hit became a football terrace anthem.

Interesting aside about this song which I was surprised by ...
Mum had chosen "You'll Never Walk Alone" for her funeral. Which, with all due respect to Gerry, surprised me as Gerry & The Pacemakers was not her style at all.
So I googled and discovered it was originally from a 1945 Rodgers & Hammerstein musical (which made waaay more sense) called Carousel (which I had barely heard of).
G&TP obviously nailed it with their release which Liverpool has adopted so well.
We used G&TP at the funeral because we couldn't track down a decent recording from the show (without spoken lines being inserted therein).
RIP Gerry.

Albert Roux: Chef and culinary 'legend' dies aged 85
Gordon Ramsay remembers late chef Albert Roux as "the man who installed gastronomy in Britain".

Marion Ramsey, who played Laverne Hooks in the Police Academy films.
Away from that role, she was one of the finest stage & Broadway actors of her generations
Ramsey was loved by fans for her role as Officer Laverne Hooks in the Police Academy film series.

How bout that, I had no idea the other one was already dead.

Another person I thought had died years ago

@MN5 Well that was a fair assumption. He's looked dead for decades.

Longtime home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86
Hank Aaron, known for his sweet swing that carried him to 755 career home runs, which long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86.
Hank Aaron was a major figure in American sports, was one of the black pioneers in a white dominated sport, and was the total home run MLB king until Barry Bonds eclipsed him
-
One of baseball's greatest ever players.

@Donsteppa Dead set Harbour legend and innovative coach.
Liked this from the Herald's obit
It was a listing in the Herald that convinced Thorburn that rugby players north of the harbour bridge needed their own union. In 1977 the Herald published the names of trialists for the Auckland U17 rugby team. "There were 117 names and only three from the other side of the bridge,'' he told the newspaper in 2013. -
Did his best work as Super 12 commissioner making sure the best players outside the protected lists were drafted.
Loved some of his innovative tactics. Wasn't it The Great Wall of China tap move, and I seem to recall a 15 man lineout maul.
Was a long time correspondent to Radio Sport (with Telfer IIRC). I fondly remember his labelling of talk back callers The Flat Earth Society.

Yeah, fuck... 44 years old, 3 weeks battle. That's a bit scary.
But, in a way, it sounds like a decent way to go. "Did not suffer" - so, enough time to quit the job, have a final road-trip, saying goodbye to everybody, and tick a few things off a true "bucket list".

Wow, I only really watched that show for the girls in it but he was occasionally quite funny in his own right. RIP Screech.

@dogmeat Pretty sure we had a discussion about putting Alan Sutherland in the All time Mako team.
I don't recall seeing that he passed away last year, but apparently he did. (Someone will probably discover that I posted about it at the time - but, that's not unusual).
Seems like he had a pretty good if somewhat chequered innings. Married a Miss South Africa.
As well as being one of the few NZ forwards to have scored 100 first class tries, he also set a record for the most points scored by a forward on a tour (1968 tour of Oz), which might still stand. He was a pretty decent goal kicker and did the goal kicking on that tour when Fergie McCormick didn't.
-
@Chris-B Thanks - didn't realise he had died.
Remember him well: tough as teak. Great era for Marlborough rugby. Simple uncomplicated rugby. Pack of mongrels to win quick ball for a pacey set of backs like Brian Ford. I think they'd have been everyones second favourite team
Always remember the headline in the old 8 o'clock the day they took the Shield. MARLBOROUGH DO A SUNDERLAND!
Your team was nowhere near as big an upset as Leeds losing though.
