    Freddie Starr

    I watched The Two Ronnies on Netflix a while ago, and as YoungWillz said, sexism and racism pervaded the shows in a way that wouldn't be allowed today. I wondered how I didn't realise it originally (partly I suspect was that I were but a lad when it began). Anyway, back on-topic, I won a few quid backing Minnehoma in the 94 Grand National.

    Rugby Players

    Former French captain Michel Crauste has died aged 84. He was the first French player to score three tries in a test, but is perhaps better remembered for being set upon by a lady in a fur coat (Hilda Madsen, who was escorted back to her seat) after she deemed his play a little too violent, during a tour match versus South Canterbury (which finished 17-14 to the local side).

    David Gordon Wilson, proponent of the recumbent bicycle and designer of the centrifugal pump used in the world's first artificial heart, amongst many other things - could also be an 'arrogant academic' having been a MIT professor - died yesterday aged 91. Profile.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Its 80 years since Archibald Leitch (not that one) died aged 80. Designed football stands and was much in demand in the early part of the 20th Century. Much of his work has been demolished thanks to clubs redeveloping existing stadia or relocating, though some still exist , at Fulham and Everton, for example. BBC story here.
