The RIP thread...

Just heard about this. Awful news; 51 is no age.

Cancer is a cunt.

RIP Sabine.

And a big FUCK YOU to cancer.

RIP Sabine

51 is no age. Cancer took my neighbour a month ago - 51 as well. Fuck cancer!

Magnificent in Homicide: Life on the street -the greatest TV show ever

So fucking true. I have shit loads of them taped off channel 4 BITD somewhere. I even had a promotional blue nylon team jacket with HOMICIDE across the back. I really fucking hope I kept it but I have a nasty feeling I didn't. Probably worth something to another nerd.

Yaphet was really bloody amazing in that.

Team Hoyt documentaries are worth your time. Amazing dedicated man.

I just saw that on Slowtwitch. Those two were legendary!
Definitely look for some of their race footage. Inspiring stuff.

There was a documentary on the IronMan they did together. Holy crap. Just... The dedication and sheer fucking will. Unbelievable. Only now that I am a father do I glimpse what drove him.

I was just coming to post about Dick Hoyt... A truly incredible man. RIP

I can still remember the first time I saw a clip of them together and how it moved me to tears.

An inspiration, I hope one day when I have children of my own that I bring as much joy to their life's as he did to his boys.

Rip

Their story is really inspiring and should move any human to tears.

Ah fuck, really? That’s terrible. Mark was a lovely guy and such a skilled metalworker. He was no age at all. Shit, I’m really saddened by this.

This is definitely a "NO YOU'RE CRYING!" video.

The most feared free kick taker of the 70’s and part of the all conquering Leeds team...
Peter Lorimer 74, everyone wanted to be able to take a free kick like him.

Frank Worthington. I spent the Saturday afternoons of my youth standing in pen 3 of the Spion Kop at Filbert Street - centre parting, flares, scarf tied round the wrist - watching one the great underappreciated footballers of the 70s.

RIP Frank, an absolute legend of the game in the 70s... I adored him as a boy...

Of course his bio was called "One Hump or Two?", with a forward by Bill Maynard

Yeah - me too - great fun to watch even before kick off.

An absolutely classic goal...

Lorimer and Worthington in the same week. Iconic players both. RIP fellas.

October 1973, Leicester v Leeds at Filbert Street, one of my first games, both were playing. 2-2, Worthington scored for us. Leeds won the old first division that season.
