Announced this morning that former England International, West Brom, Coventry, and Wolves striker Cyrille Regis has died of a suspected heart attack. He was aged 59 and reported to be still a very fit man. R.I.P.

RIP Cyrille Regis. Utterly stunning news about a quality player taken far too soon..

Tragic, tragic news.

Great player, great man, I was lucky enough to have met him once and also someone who obviously loved playing the game and showed it.

RIP Big Cyrille, one of the best!

I can remember a goal he scored for us at the Mol. Don't know who we played but at one point the ball was punted up towards the south bank end and bounced high about 40yds outside box, their big hairy arsed center half came out to head it clear. He looked up at the ball and then looked to his left and saw the big man storming in on him at which point he pretty much politely stood to one side and let Cyrille take the ball and bury it in the net. Great memory, great goal, great player.

The link on the Baggies board to the you tube compilation is well worth clicking. The most striking thing to me is how much more the players obviously enjoyed the game then. Watch Man Utd V Stoke today and count how many smiling faces you see on either team regardless of the score.

I don't know if anybody overseas watched his shows, but Anthony Bourdain died of apparent suicide in France this past Friday at the age of 61. He had shows called No Reservations and Parts Unknown where he would travel to different countries, and occasionally the American cities as well, and try their local food and experience the culture. He was really good at letting the locals tell their stories themselves, without interrupting and putting his own take in. He also asked good questions. Best example is when he visited Jerusalem, where he asked his Israeli tour guides about the expansion of Israeli settlements into Gaza and why it should be tolerated. He would dine with the rich and the poor and enjoy his experience equally. He wasn't a food snob, despite knowing all the tricks and techniques of classic culinary schools. He would eat the street food with average person and enjoy it just as much as a $100 entree at some fancy restaurant. His first claim to fame was his book: Kitchen Confidential, where he detailed what it was like to work in a restaurant. RIP Anthony Bourdain, we will never know another like him
