Its a shame that the often popular Celebrity RIP thread disappeared on here after the Footymad revamp.
And I mean this as a compliment, it was a popular thread wasnt it and not in a negative or sarcastic or even morbid way.

Sadly, the great actor Gene Wilder has passed today aged 83-84.
Willy Wonka springs to mind first here, but his Waco kid character in Blazing saddles is my favourite role and he was always brilliant with his favourite co-star Richard Pryor.
