The Dead Thread

Jimmy Armfield: one of my heroes as a youth. He was the first of the overlapping full backs, and how impressive and scary it was to watch. Jimmy Armfield was a one-club man, and became captain of Blackpool and England.

Fake news about Kent Dodd apparently, who are the weirdos that start those kind of rumours though

Agreed. Weirdos indeed



Ken Dodds dads dog's still dead though.

Just found out about Hugh Masekela passing.
Late sixties Grazing in the Grass was such a lovely tune at a defining period in my youth.

He was found frozen to death on the Pier Head.
Lived on The Wirral apparently, so that article is not very accurate.

The article quoted included this from Mike McCartney, Paul's parasite brother who said

"So sad to hear about Si. He was a luvly lad..and will be dancing along Uncle Bills bar, knocking Mum&Dad, Milly&Ginny, Mike &Betts drinks off, as we talk! Luv to U & kids from me & mine X”
'Open the door and let 'em in' is how he should have rounded that one off.....

I'm from the Wirral and can often see something Tinky winky when it's frozen as well.
