Former Celtic manager Wim Jansen has died at the age of 75, his ex-club Feyenoord has announced.

 

The Dutchman, who had been living with dementia, won the title in his only season in charge in 1997-98, stopping Rangers from winning 10 in a row.

 

Jansen signed club legend Henrik Larsson and also won the League Cup.

 

He made over 500 appearances for Feyenoord, including the 1970 European Cup final win over Celtic in Milan, and managed the Rotterdam team.

Argentine golfer Eduardo Romero has died at the age of 67 from cancer.

 

Romero, whose nickname was 'El Gato' (The Cat) is considered to be one of the greatest South American golfers of all time.

 

He won eight times on the European Tour, now the DP World Tour, with the Trophee Lancome in 1989 his first.

 

His final professional victory came with a play-off success at the 2002 Scottish Open aged 47, although he went on to win two majors in seniors golf.

 

He also won more than 80 times on his own continent and represented his country at the World Cup of Golf on 14 occasions, finishing second on home soil alongside Angel Cabrera in 2000.

Former Great Britain player and coach and Hull FC legend Johnny Whiteley MBE has died aged 91.

 

Whiteley was part of Test series wins over Australia with the Lions as both player and coach, and was part of three World Cup squads between 1954 and 1960.

 

He also won the championship and played in Challenge Cup finals with Hull for whom he scored 156 tries in 417 games, and coached both Hull FC and Hull KR.

 

His services to rugby league were rewarded with an MBE in 2005.

Oxford United have announced the death of club legend Joey Beauchamp, at the age of 50.

 

Oxford-born Beauchamp became a cult figure at his home-town club.

 

The talented winger joined West Ham for £1m in June 1994, but never played a game for the Hammers as he suffered from homesickness in the capital.

 

West Ham sold him to Oxford's Thames Valley rivals Swindon for £850,000 but after 49 appearances for the Robins, Beauchamp returned to the Manor Ground.

 

After rejoining Oxford in 1995, he added to his existing 145 appearances for the club by playing a further 284 times before kicking his last ball for the club in February 2002.

 

Beauchamp, who first signed as a YTS trainee in 1987 and was a ball boy at Oxford's League Cup final win over QPR at Wembley in 1986, was released by the U's in June 2002 after developing a career-threatening toe injury - and he never played professional football again.

Newcastle's football and rugby teams have led tributes following the death of their former coach Steve Black.

 

The 64-year-old worked with Newcastle United under Kevin Keegan and was also part of the club's backroom staff during the 2015-16 season.

 

Black also spent two spells on the coaching staff at Newcastle Falcons where he developed a close relationship with England star Jonny Wilkinson.

 

He also worked closely with Wales, the British and Irish Lions and Sunderland.

 

Newcastle Falcons called him "a club legend who will never be forgotten".

 

A minute's silence will be held in his honour ahead of Sunday's Premiership match against Exeter Chiefs at Kingston Park.

Wigan Warriors' and Newcastle Falcons' dual-code international Va'aiga Tuigamala has died at the age of 52.

 

He made 102 appearances for Wigan between 1993 and 1997 before switching to union with Newcastle, where he won the 1997-98 Premiership title.

 

With Wigan he won three League titles, two Challenge Cups, a Premiership title and World Club Challenge.

 

"He was one of the most exciting rugby players to play either code," Wigan executive director Kris Radlinski said.

Legendary Australian athlete John Landy, renowned for his rivalry with Britain's Roger Bannister in the 1950s, has died aged 91.

 

Landy became the second athlete in history, after Bannister, to run a four-minute mile.

 

The former mile and 1500m world record holder won Olympic bronze in the 1500m at the Melbourne Games in 1956.

 

"Our world is poorer without John Landy in it," said World Athletics president Lord Coe.

 

During his athletics career, Melbourne-born Landy sought to make history and battled with Bannister to become the first person to beat the four-minute mile barrier.

Legendary Australia wicketkeeper Rod Marsh has died aged 74 after suffering a heart attack.

 

Marsh was taken ill last Thursday while travelling to a charity cricket match in Queensland.

 

He effected 355 dismissals - a world record at the time of his retirement - in 96 Test appearances for Australia from 1970 to 1984.

 

He also played 92 one-day internationals and served as Australia men's chairman of selectors until 2016.

 

Marsh is third on Australia's all-time dismissals list behind Adam Gilchrist with 416 and Ian Healy's 395.

To add to a desperately sad day for Australian cricket, Shane Warne, deliverer of what was described as the ball of the century to dismiss a bewildered Mike Gatting, has died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 52.

What!, Blimey. Flipping heck, RIP Shane Warne arguably one of the greatest bowlers there has been. Sad day for cricket.

One of cricket's greats, really sad, 52 is no age to go. RIP Shane. Terrible few days for Aussie cricket.

I always liked Shane Warne as a cricketer and a commentator. I saw him play once in 2001 when Middlesex played Australia at Lords. He was fielding on the boundary near to where I was and was quite happy to sign autographs and engage in some banter with the crowd.

I've never really watched cricket but I used to hear Shane Warne's name a lot over the years so that alone shows the big and positive impact that he made in that sport and 52 is too young to die. RIP Shane Warne.

Gone too soon.

 

I remember my dad used to get up early to watch the cricket. I came down and asked how it was going for England. The response was that "Warne was up to his magic tricks again".

 

R.I.P. Shane Warne.

One of the all time great players and characters of the game and one of my favourite bowlers even if he had a field day against us.

RIP Shane Warne, a legend of the sport. Thoughts are with his family right now.

Such sad news and a shock to wake up to this morning. Thoughts are with his family.

 

RIP Shane.

Former Everton manager Gordon Lee has died at the age of 87.

 

Lee was in charge at Everton from 1977 to 1981, reaching a League Cup final, two FA Cup semi-finals and two top-four finishes in the First Division.

 

The former Shrewsbury Town player also managed Port Vale for six years and had spells with Newcastle and Blackburn.

Ron Stander, whose fight against unbeaten world heavyweight champion Joe Frazier in 1972 was the highlight of his 13-year career, has died. He was 77.

Bit late to the story about Warney but 52 far to young. The ‘ball of the century’ is still baffling me to this day how he did it and I’ve watched it 100 times. Love Mike Gattings reaction as well!
