I dunno, Bruce. He may not have been a one hit wonder, but Gordie Lightfoot or Leonard Cohen it (Frozen orange juice) ain't.

Another. There's no such thing as good year for folk passing, but lately it's been staggering. R.I.P.

Always came across as a lovely bloke. A good club manager who like all England managers got treated appallingly by the press, think he got it worst actually. RIP

Definitely. There aren't many R5 pundits or commentators I'd miss but he is, without doubt, one of them.

Agreed. They said on the Beeb that he was known for asking 'the Scottish question' . I'll always remember him for his relentless pursuit of the truth over the sinking of the Belgrano. RIP

I'll offer a R.I.P for all those that have passed away. Condolences to John Hurt's family, he really was a fine actor.

Aye,sad news and only 45, but it jogged my memory. Tom Van Volenhoven (sp?) who used to play rugby league for St Helens is still alive and 81. I actually remember him being legendary. The S.A connection clicked with me.
