Gerard Houllier was a great manager. Won a few trophies at Liverpool, including a treble. Makes you wonder what he might have done at Villa had he not have to leave due to heart problems. RIP Gerard.

Another football manager leaves us.

Tommy Docherty RIP.

Gerry Marsden at the age of 78 due to a heart infection. RIP Gerry, you'll never walk alone.

Another golden oldie from my era leaves us.

Saw him (and others) at the Plymouth ABC must have been early 60s (63?). I know I was about 12.
They had done 'How do you do...' and 'I ilke it' was new.

Great show. Cilla? Billy J? Swinging Blue Jeans? The Fourmost? Sounds Incorporated (backed the singers) and Ben E. King did 'Stand by Me'. What a line up!

I remember that Gerry seemed overjoyed to be doing what he did. Lucky man tbh!

Don't let the sun catch you crying:
He wouldn't want that.

RIP Gerry.

Ex Man City player Colin Bell after a short illness aged 74. RIP Colin.

One of my favourite players of the time.

RIP Colin Bell

Phil Spector RIP

RIP Doug Mountjoy.

Top snooker player back in the day.

Quite a player to say that he didn't turn professional until he was in his 30s. As a fellow Welshman I used to follow his career and watch him all the time. I remember he was chuffed to bits and proud when his daughter became a Page 3 model. RIP Doug.

Glenn Roeder RIP

I see your Johnny Briggs and Glenn Roeder and give you:

Prof John Mallard known for his pioneering work in medical imaging has died at the age of 94. (25th February 2021).
He notably led a team at the University of Aberdeen which developed the first whole-body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner.

I probably owe my life to one of those three. Wonder if you might guess which??
