Another world cup hero gone RIP

Gutted. Nobby was a good mate of my wife’s uncle and once told me that I was a much better Mick Jagger impersonator at dancing than the owner of a local sex shop in Manchester was at her uncle’s 60th party.

RIP Nobby

Old-Dutch Talk about living the dream, Dutch!

RIP 007- A sad one this.

Along_the_Wire

I’m shaken, but not stirred.

Homegrove

Sad, but he lived a long life.

Smallman1

Saw him at The Bridge a few years ago.

Was surprised at how tall he was.

RIP Sean.

Homegrove

His grandson posted a picture from his 89th birthday a year ago. He seemed really small. Same with Gene Hackman, saw a picture of him recently, and couldn’t recognize him. These actors who have the sense to retire (like those two) get old in peace and dignity. Morgan Freeman looks like a walking corpse and is still doing B movies.

Homegrove He did some embarrassing stuff in his prime - Zardoz springs to mind.

Whereas Christopher Plummer hasn’t aged a day in twenty years and he’s 90. He’s always good in what he works on as well.

Homegrove Gene Hackman

Watched Crimson Tide and Enemy of the State recently. Interesting to see two actors go toe-to-toe with Hackman. Denzel could do it. He was excellent in CT. Will Smith could not. He gets blow off the screen in EotS.

Well that fucking sucks. 90 is a cracking innings mind as Hannu said.

Back when genuine masculinity wasn’t considered toxic. RIP Sean

Good lord!

Smallman1

I’d look good in that get up.

Smallman1 your pulling gear.

Smallman1 Ed, simply unable to say no to a pouch of any sort.

Along_the_Wire

You might struggle recreating the Alf.

Smallman1

Would have to rock a syrup admittedly.

Dan

I’m going to watch ‘The Man who would be King’ later on….

Does Sean Connery like herbs?

Yes, but only partially.

Homegrove

The Untouchables is in Netflix (well here at least) if you want to watch the best role he ever played tonight.
