Also some barge into goalie Ray Wood, would probably be done for assault nowadays, certainly a different era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted January 12, 2022 Shebby Singh, Malaysian footballer of the 1980s, dead at 61. Normally wouldn't post someone as insignificant as that, but he had a second arc of fame when he became "global advisor" to Venky's during their slapstick takeover of Blackburn Rovers a decade ago. Too many highlights to post, but let's go with Shebby's disastrous appearance on "606". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many highlights to post, but let's go with Shebby's disastrous appearance on "606". Mercilessly mocked by Rovers fans during the dark days, his death has actually been met with some sadness round these parts. He was seen as the one who ended the first "basket case" phase of the Venkys ownership (played a big part in Steve Kean's belated removal) though it took a few more years and another relegation before our recovery could really begin. Probably doesn't hurt the reappraisal that he's died at just 61, no age really. The Lancashire Telegraph reports he's believed to have suffered a heart attack while out cycling.
