The retrospective they'll show will be interesting if they manage to airbrush out the casual racism and blasting f**k out of animals...those things are all we really know about the guy.

Week 10 update

One death this week, former Motherwell and Liverpool player Ian St. John: Ian St John obituary | Football | The Guardian

Quote

The footballer and television personality Ian St John, who has died aged 82 after suffering from cancer, was a pivotal figure in the restoration of Liverpool football club as a leading force in the mid-1960s, both scoring and making goals in a partnership with Roger Hunt that brought three major honours to Anfield. “Saint” made a total of 425 appearances in the red shirt, scoring 118 goals, including the one in 1965 that brought the FA Cup to Anfield for the first time in Liverpool’s 73-year-old history.

Eloquent and passionate, St John was a blunt, combative, highly intelligent character, brave sometimes to the point of idiocy, combustible enough the following year to flatten Fulham’s Mark Pearson with a single punch after the latter had pulled his hair at Craven Cottage. St John then took himself off to the dressing-room without bothering to wait for the referee to pass sentence. “I had a quick temper,” he once acknowledged. “Which was a bad thing. The fact that I wasn’t afraid of anybody was a good thing.”

St John went on to be one of the first ex-players successfully to make the crossover from playing to broadcasting, joining ATV as a co-commentator and presenter in 1979. Six years later he established another celebrated partnership, this time on TV, with Jimmy Greaves, in Saint and Greavsie. In the sparse football coverage of that era, this Saturday lunchtime pairing of two genial, authoritative former strikers was compulsory watching.

The Guardian also have an assortment of pictures as they often do, with some good ones: Ian St John (1938-2021) – a life in pictures | Football | The Guardian

The number of private helicopters that crash. If I was a billionaire I wouldn't have one. I think I could just about afford a 1st class ScotRail season ticket instead 

One of my mates at Uni studied aeromechanical engineering and now has a very good job in that business. Any time anyone asks him how helicopters fly, he says "The concepts are all very simple, but by all rights they probably shouldn't".

Oh no no no no no no no no. Trevor Peacock, Jim Trott from Vicar of Dibley, will get his church funeral at 89.

I think that's more than half the main cast dead now isn’t it?

 

His Deal or no Deal story was a piece of acting genius.
