An unexpected medal that was when I watched it. A great moment from those Games. RIP Germaine.

 

 

 

 

R.I.P to Ugo Ehiogu who has died at the age of 44 after collapsing at Tottenham's training ground yesterday. I remember him from Aston Villa and Middlesbrough when I was growing up and he was a good defender, he also played a few times for the England national team. He will be missed by many for sure.

Such sad news to hear about Ugo. He was a very good defender, one of the good guys in football. Scored in an friendly against Spain in March 2001. Was part of a League Cup winning team three times with Villa & Middlesbrough.

 

RIP.

 

 

 

Italian cyclist Michele Scarponi died in a training crash on 22nd April

 

RIP :(

Former MotoGP World Champion Nicky Hayden has died 5 days after being hit whilst cycling.

 

Such a sad story, he was only 35. RIP.

 

 

r.i.p :(

A great motorcyclist he was, my favourite MotoGP rider he was. The way he won the title in 2006 from the dominant Rossi was brilliant and courageous.

 

RIP Nicky Hayden

 

 

Former Newcastle midfielder Cheick Tioté has died at the age of 30. I remember the volley that he scored against Arsenal in the 4-4 draw where Newcastle were losing 4-0 at half time. May he rest in piece :(

That's so sad to hear :( still so young too

RIP Cheick Tiote.

 

I remember that volley from the 4-4 draw against Arsenal as if it was yesterday. It was his only goal at his time in Newcastle. One of the great Premier League goals.

 

He was part of the Ivory Coast winning team at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

 

 

I remember that goal, my dad and I used to play a game similar to the Premier League game. Difference was that we had a team in each of the four divisions and Newcastle was one of them. Totally ruined my prediction that day.

 

R.I.P. Cheick Tiote.

RIP Cheick Tioté :(

RIP Tim Gudgin who was the voice of the football results for Final Score and also the horse racing and rugby results for Grandstand until 1995.

 

 

For people of a certain age, Tim Gudgin and Len Martin before him were one of the voices of football;

Former Wimbledon champion Jana Novotna has died at the age of just 49. She is probably best remembered for bursting into tears after losing to Steffi Graf in 1993 and being consoled by the Duchess of Kent. She finally won the trophy in 1998.

RIP Jana Novotna. Shock to pass away at such a young age.

 

 

Cyrille Regis the ex West Brom and England forward has died aged 59. He was one of the so called 'Three Degrees' at WBA along with Laurie Cunningham and Brendon Batson.
