Checked all my picks and all but one have a photo or relevant image. Ian Ure is the one missing a photo which surprises me as he is not some second rate footballer who played all his football in the 2nd tier in Scotland but a successful centre half winning the League title with Dundee before playing over 200 games for Arsenal in a 6 year spell then a couple of seasons at Manchester United as well as winning 8 caps for Scotland. I know photos need a particular size format but here's one which I hope is suitable

Leyton Orient midfielder Peter Allen has died aged 76. He is Orient's all-time appearance record holder and is their only player to have played more than 400 games. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Allen_(footballer)

I thought Falco looked dead and buried, in actual fact he died on this day 25 years ago. Based on that I might give him some points to keep him alive a wee bit longer.

Since it's Gayle Hunnicutt's birthday today it's rather fitting that Mike Farrell also celebrates his birthday, happy 84th sir He is best known as Captain BJ Hunnicutt in the long running comedy series M*A*S*H

Since he's being mentioned a lot on here it's Rick Astley's birthday today, happy 57th Rick but you're still not getting any points from me.
