Rip Thread

Gary Sobers, one of my cricketing heroes growing up. RIP.

 

I'm sure he'd be a bit annoyed at being called Gary, that's not short for Garfield.

Lovely tribute from Sir Geoff Boycott

 

Quite possibly so, however when I was growing up, that is what he was known as, at least in SA.

 

Kevin keegan .. bloody hell…

 

RIP Kev.

 

RIP Kevin. I'd either forgotten, or never realised, that he was a two time Ballon d'Or winner.

Sad news. Rip Kev.

 

My lasting memory of Kevin Keegan wasn’t his illustrious playing career, losing it on that SKY interview or even his green cross code advert. It was him falling off his bicycle on Superstars.

RIP Kevin Keegan.

 

Fantastic playing career. Then as a manager he gave Newcastle fans the most exciting football we had seen in years.
Oh so close to winning the Premier League.

A true legend I’m sure any football supporter would agree. RIP.

 

Oh yes. Having being turned down by Doncaster Rovers for being too short. Had to trudge over to Scunthorpe to get a game…

And the rest, as they say, is history

 

Just YouTube’d that to jog my memory. Fkn brilliant! No lids, just skimpy shorts, vest and trainers. Marvellous

 

Ugh. Keegan was THE football man when I was kid. RIP

 

RIP Kevin
