I know. But that's his partner who has shared it. And she's shared quite a few which he appears to be okay with.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 5:57 pm I don't think its nice to share a photo like that.

Re: Births Deaths And Marriages
He has been Ill for some time now and looked very similar about 6 months ago when there was an article in The Sunday Times about him and his much younger wife. He has been in a wheelchair for well over a year.Dunners wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 8:13 pmI know. But that's his partner who has shared it.

All of the above is very true, but his honesty and integrity in business left a lot to be desired.Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 12:41 pmSad news, I just saw that news on the bbc sports website.

Brilliant manager at Palace & England especially

He had so many talents including branching off into being on tv shows, singing and all round entertainment.

As a milk boy I used to deliver milk to him and Ted Fenton who both lived in the same road in Gants Hill. Always smiling and usually cracked a joke when I knocked for the week’s payment

One of my earliest football memories is him consoling Southgate in 96. Very big character

Re: Births Deaths And Marriages
Sad about this. Not been in the public eye as much lately but a bit mad that he was 80, always got him in mind as a guy in his 50s. Sign of getting older I guess.
Re: Births Deaths And Marriages
He’s a classic example of a guy where the obituaries will be full of euphemisms “ducking and diving” will feature a lot, I imagine

Geordie from Killing Joke sadly gone.
His thumping guitar was something to behold. Soundtracked the early 80's for me.

Re: Births Deaths And Marriages
Absolutely gutted by this. No-one else played a guitar like that. Killing Joke played some of the most brutal, intense gigs I’ve ever been to, all led by that epic sound he wrung out of that innocuous -looking Gibson.The Mindsweep wrote: ↑Sun Nov 26, 2023 10:27 pm Geordie from Killing Joke sadly gone.

It’s also the end of one of my favourite bands, which is also tough to take. RIP Geordie.
