Gordon Banks my 3rd hit here.

Report of the death of Harvey Scales, who co-wrote Disco Lady for Johnny Taylor which was reputedly the first platinum selling single in the US, but only reached the dizzying heights of #25 in the UK charts in May 1976:

Probably one for the US readers and @Phantom only. Randy Nauert of surf beat combo The Challengers died 7 February, 9 years and a day after Richard Delvy: https://www.gofundme.com/randy-nauert

You don't know how much I hummed and hawed about picking a Fleetwood Mac member for my ToTP team this year. In the end, I thought I couldn't pick them all and one would be favouritism (and I'd probably pick the wrong one!) so I didn't bother. I'll regret this train of thought maybe....

Jimmy Nairn, 91, first voice heard on STV, One O'clock Gang, etc...: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-47175313

Just watching the death of the UK's chances for Tel Aviv 2019. Have modern songwriters forgotten the middle eight? Have they forgotten the quirky twist? The cut off of the music at the end while the soul of the singer is ripped in the last four/six bars? Be interesting who we get/send.

I could watch this film and the performances over and over. Finney is quite simply magnificent. Maybe someone needs to do a cast list for the remake, which I haven't seen, but why remake a superb movie?

Reports coming in of the death at 78 of Robert Ashby, who appeared as Borad in Timelash for Doctor Who.

Lol that takes me to the UK sports page. msc has a way of getting these, crikey the Mail will probably be along in a few. Gawd damn internet restrictions...

Doesn't work for me and I'm guessing Europe.

Frank Robinson is dead. Unfortunately, GPDR affects my attempts to get a QO. But it's there.
