That’s very sad indeed, and another reminder to get on and enjoy life while you can, and not put everything off until retirement, as so many seem to do.
Just a quick reminder that friend's and family are gathering to pay their respects tomorrow, at Newlands corner for 11AM.
RIP John Kear, Rugby League player, coach, commentator & evangelist, who was responsible for one of the worst sporting afternoons of my life when in 1998, his Sheffield Eagles team beat Wigan at Wembley in the Challenge Cup Final; but such was his attitude & enthusiasm for the game, you couldn't begrudge him his win even as an opposition fan. Also coached Hull FC to a Cup Final win over Leeds in 2005. RIP John, thanks for the memories. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/articles/c20237xk2z0o

Sad to read, i met him in Belgium in a bar about 10 years ago where he and several others were taking a break mid-filming. I only stopped to talk to them because Miriam Margolyes asked me a question (bless her). Got all their autographs for someone in the cycle group i was with - he said he would only sign if the (rather shy) young lady came over to meet them. Probably was one of the above productions mentioned.
