Loved Columbo, great series

Absolutely loved Hill Street Blues. Was allowed to stay up to watch it and to this day every time I hear the theme it always takes me back to being a kid in my living room in the 80's. one of the best tv themes ever as well.

Great player through my teen years and beyond. RIP Ray Wilkins - no age to go.

Very good player, was unfairly criticised for being a crab but later stated that he was doing as he was told. RIP Butch.

At the echo I believe ? Watching premier league.
Carried out of arena, heart attack apparantly.

The Crafty Cockney part of that Golden Age when darts became a big deal with household names galore. None bigger than devil may care Eric.
May he rest in peace
