[SomersetSB]

Peter Sutcliffe the infamous Yorkshire Ripper has died.
West Yorkshire Police are looking to bury a man with a Geordie Accent.

I remember that,What sad idiot to impersonate a killer?

[Houchens Head]

Did they ever find the guy who sent the tapes in ?

Yeah. His name was Jack Humble. He tried to kill himself over what he'd done. It wasn't until 2005 that he was detected by chance and then in 2006, sentenced to 8 years for perverting the course of justice. He drank himself to death in 2019.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

When I told mrs tgp this morning I said Peter Sutcliffe not the one from gavin and Stacey the other one

Des O’Connor

I thought he’d gone years ago.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Ah that’s a shame

 

[clint van damme]

Des O'Gonner

 

[Otis]

He seemed to be such a lovely bloke. Always smiling and humble. On TV at least, anyway.

are you on about Peter Sutcliffe or Des O'Connor?

 

[Kneeza]

Sad news. I liked Des.

Took the ribbing from Morecambe and wise brilliantly too

 

[Otis]

They tore him to pieces and it made it all the funnier that he played along.

 

[Otis]

Gyles Brandreth described O'Connor as the “ultimate professional”. In a tweet he wrote: “Des O'Connor was such a nice, nice man. The ultimate professional, an impeccable entertainer, skilful, stylish, self-deprecating, fun to be with, lovely to know."

 

[ajsccfc]

He was one of the old pro showbiz staples when I was growing up along with Terry Wogan and Brucie, shame.

 

[Sbarcher]

Still time this year for the Duke and maybe Cliff as an outsider!

Did you see the chap from Hayes Travel who rescued Thomas Cook died at work this week, such a shame for all he has done for the travel industry.

Yes, great shame. Good man.

 

[Houchens Head]

Ah. Death O'Connor (as named by Eric Morecambe). Or Deaf O'Connor - another of his favourite names for him.

Ray Clemence, 72. Cracking keeper.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Ray Clemence. 72

Ray Clemence, 72. Cracking keeper.

Was he ill ? I remember a time when him and Shilton alternated for England, i thought he was the better of the 2

 

[clint van damme]

Not sure, just saw the report that he had died.
Was a great battle between him and Shilton for the England No.1 shirt. Both great keepers but I always though Shilton just shaded it. I still say his performance in the 0-0 draw with Forest at HR the day they won the league was the greatest goalkeeping performance I've seen live. Cost us a place in Europe as well the brexit bastard

Yeah, there was a thread on here a while back about the best performance by an away player and i mentioned Shilton in that game, like you say both great keepers

 

[clint van damme]

just looking at what he won, some haul this is:

Liverpool

• Football League First Division: 1972–73, 1975–76, 1976–77, 1978–79, 1979–80
• FA Cup: 1973–74
• League Cup: 1980–81
• FA Charity Shield: 1974, 1976, 1977 (shared), 1979, 1980
• European Cup: 1976–77, 1977–78, 1980–81
• UEFA Cup: 1972–73, 1975–76
• European Super Cup: 1977[4]

Tottenham Hotspur

• FA Cup: 1981–82
• FA Charity Shield: 1981 (shared)
• UEFA Cup: 1983–84[4]

 

[ovduk78]

I think Shilton was better but Clemence was a fantastic sportsman, I remember him standing at the bottom of the steps applauding us as we collected the FA Cup.

 

[wingy]

Des O'Gonner

He was still banging them out, approximately aged 80.
The old dog .
Twinkle in his eye consummate allrounder .
Staple of light entertainment through the 70-80's and possibly beyond.

 

[clint van damme]

 

[Kneeza]

Agree that Shilton was better in many ways, but Clemence was superb. Another very sad loss.

 

[Kneeza]

A bit 'rugger' for many on here, but Cecil Duckworth has passed also. The guy that sold his Worcester boiler company to Bosch and used the proceeds to buy Worcester's way up to the Premiership.
The essence of how sport has become just a business.

Oh no. He was my boss. Such a lovely man. He brought the combi boiler to the UK and fought to get the Water Regs changed so they could be legally installed.

 

[bezzer]

He'd been living with advanced Prostate cancer since 2005.

Decent chap, yes, even if he was a catalyst in the moneyfication (no, probably not a word ) of rugby.
I understand he initially tried to get heavily involved financially with Worcs cricket, but was knocked back, and the rest is history.

 

[olderskyblue]

Tbf I thought he'd died years ago!

no, he was embalmed years ago, but wasn’t dead....

 

[wingy]

Where does the time go?
J thought his last child was around 8 , quite an achievement it would have been ,fathering a baby aged 80
Still more accurately 72 is going some.
