Phil Silvers Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 RIP JIMMY. The likes of him and Bobby Charlton should have the records for scoring international goals, no endless friendlies against countries ranked 200 in the world for these chaps. Fantastic talent.

Had a conversation every Thursday night with him for about two or three years. Never understood a single word just nodded and said yes a few times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie was probably my favourite character in OFAH and John seemed to be a lovely person. “For god's sake Marlene, I might be able to convince people into buying my cars, I might be able to convince them that you conceived & gave birth in 7 days flat but how the hell am I going to convince them that my grandfather was Louis Armstrong!?”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a sad one for me I was thinking when I saw the news, I guess more and more people I liked growing up will start going. It's been the case this year more than any other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
