John Motson, aged 77.

Sad to hear, so soon after Dickie Davies too, R.I.P Motty, thanks for all the memories.

[Max B Gold]

He will forever be remembered as the man who holds the record for the most mentions of the 1966 WC Final during his England match commentaries. And the record for slotting in reference to it in the shortest time after KO. RIP in peace.

Sammy Winston, ex Orient forward has passed away aged just 44.
RIP.

Very sad. He was a breath of fresh air when he came into the team, I think he was only 17 or 18 and as mentioned above scored against Merthyr in the FA Cup. RIP 44 is no age.
