Very poignant reminder of our own mortality.
RIP Ray Reardon, I am 64 years old in Australia. Loved watching Ray on TV competing in Pot Black when I was growing up in the 1970s. A lot more of my boyhood heroes passing away lately in UK and here in Australia also.
John Louis 1948-2024…82 years, my maths equates aged 76 years
RIP all and thank you for the joy that you gave us.
I was football mad as a child, i remember watching some of these players on MOTD, Mel Blyth,Tommy Cassidy, Viv Busby,Stan Bowles, Leighton James, Paul Bradshaw, Larry Lloyd and Gary Shaw.
Its sad many of these people pass away and you don't realise.
Rest in eternal peace gentlemen.
Some old timers JPR & Barry John, Ray Reardon & Terry Griffiths & some sad young 'uns, one suicide after sport finished with him & it hit hards.
Hadn't even heard Terry Griffiths had died. Think Burrow, Thorpe and Shaw are very tragic deaths for different reasons.
RIP , some young people in there , heartbreaking
Even though he wasn't on there as a man city fan. I remember him really great player god bless him
They are all human..Respect!!!!
RieP ❤

A sad year for both Welsh rugby and Welsh snooker….

You didn’t mention Chris Nicholl played for Grimsby Town or managed Southampton. You haven’t mentioned that Craig Shakespeare played for Grimsby Town.
All died in January and February.
RIP Rob Burrow. Superb rugby league player. Taken so young. Bless you and your family. And Kevin.🖤
Even great talents leave us at some point, entertaining, interesting and sad … 🙏 🙏
So many names i remember from childhood. Names that i looked up too and enjoyed watching. Names that i didnt know had died. Some taken from us before there prime. So very sad. May they R.I.P

Rona legacy – Big Pharma Crimes Against Humanity – Hague.
Did John play for N. Ireland &RFC.
RIP all, in particular Wolves goalie Paul Bradshaw, who died aged just 67 a few months ago. I didn't know that until I watched this video. I remember him well playing for Wolves in the late 70, early 80s when I used to have a season ticket with my Dad and brother. To this day, I still recall (more or less) most of the line-up: Paul Bradshaw, Geoff Palmer, Derek Parkin, Peter Daniel, Emlyn Hughes, Kenny Hibbitt, George Berry, John Richards, Andy Gray.
Why this stupid ghoulish, sick pantomime? Look at their ages!!!!! What do you expect? That they should live for ever? Was the music chosen for its monotony ?
Was looking for a mention of my uncle, John McClelland Footballer born 1935 who died in June, and played for Manchester City, Lincon City, QPR, and Portsmouth.
Having already watched the football video, the only way I could watch that was at double speed.
Sad
Music is dying
Some of the greats gone too soon. RIP to you all….
Very interesting to watch. RIP to all
