Snooker legend Terry Griffiths, 77.

Didn’t realise he was as old as that.
Although unsure if lockdown or my own age but I’ve lost all sense of time

Pulled up short today hearing The Big O was 52 when he died, ie around same age as me…
And I thought of him as an ‘old guy’.

Alex Edwards - golden boy of Dunfermline Athletic, and a hero of an impressive European campaign when he was but 16. Later starred for Hibs - cementing Eddie Turnbull?s eye for a player if we forget Alec Smith and Dave Millar and Tommy Rae when The Man Who Was Boss When Bruce Springs**** Was Still Trying To Work Out A Bm Chord In NJ was the second best manager we have had. Step up to the challenge Yimmi.

Alex Edwards was 78.

Ach.

Would Edwards have been a team mate of the best manager we have had so far?

Would Edwards have been a team mate of the best manager we have had so far?

Yes. Edwards made his debut for Dunfermline in 1961-62, and left for Easter Road in 1971 after The Boss left us to return to his spiritual home. Ferguson was transferred to the Dead Club in 1967, so they’d have played together.

I'm sure I remember him getting sent off for the Cabbage at the Pitt in an "ill-tempered affair".
No recollection of further details.
Nurse! Nurse!

I can remember him being sent off at Pittodrie when playing for Dunfermline in 69-70 about the same time as we beat Killie in the 1970 cup semi-final.

David Lodge (89). Academic, literary critic, novelist. Writer of the best-ever campus fiction. I was almost convinced that he was writing about the HE establishment I worked in when I read his Campus Trilogy thirty years ago. The University of Rummidge in which these are set is obviously Birmingham University where he was a senior academic but might be any college or university I?ve ever attended for study or employment.

I'm sure "Small World" was made into a TV series in which Cliff off Cheers featured.
I also recall that it featured gratuitous nudity.
