If Arsenal had beaten Ipswich in 1978 Cup Final we would have qualified for Europe. It was Willie Young's shocking control that set up Ipswich's winning goal so I never liked him because of that (to be fair to Willie Young, Arsenal were dreadful all game & it was a shock it took Ipswich so long to score)

Remember him at HR for Arsenal.
Whenever his name is mentioned - For those of a certain age, the first thing the mind conjures is his 'professional' foul on Paul Allen when he was clean through in the 1980 cup final.

Oh no. Saw him perform twice with Squeeze at the height of their fame and then twice with Jools Holland.

Excellent drummer.

Shirley Valentine. Heroine of so many women.
Loved Pauline. So sad.

That's 3 brilliant, funny actresses gone so recently, Patricia Routledge, Prunella Scales and Pauline Collins.
All exceptional at their craft.

Know the feeling. Reached the point where you see people from your childhood die and think 'they must have died young' only to realise they're in their 70s or 80s

Yeah, but then it works the other way sometimes too

Been watching Down Cemetery Road, staring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson and I was wondering how old Emma Thompson was now.

Looked it up and despite being in films for 67 years, she's only 66 years old.
