Tragic indeed. And not as uncommon as it should be. A Spanish league player died in similar circumstances a few months back. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

I remember there was a fellow who died playing for Hinkley United last year, he was only 28 Then was was the cameroon player a few years ago as well, it's a terrbile shock when it happens and of course a tragedy for those close to the player, very sad. |

When I went to Cyprus, on detachment, in 83, we played inter-squadron football, one of our young airman, aged just 22, died of a heart attack. We were all devastated, his family were even more effected by this terrible loss. I can still see this happy, healthy and very active young man smiling with his love of life and will never know how this could happen to him.

All this talk of people dying is very depressing isn't it, what with Kevin Greening, Dan Fogleberg and others. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Probably so. But I suppose we have to hope things will be a bit better. January is depressing enough. Anybody got any good news? _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

Well, a friend of mine comes out of prison tomorrow. Mind you, that means he'll probably see some of the idiots again that put him there |

Yes. I was thinking earlier of just how funny Stanley Unwin was and how I miss his lovable Unwinese gobbledygook.
I found a webpage where you can listen to lots of his wonderful stories which cheered me up no end.
