Former Newcastle keeper Pavel Srnicek.

I can remember our match commetator getting himself into a pickle trying to pronounce his name when he played at BP once. I think the closest he got was Sneercheck.

RIP Pavel

No age at all.

One of my favourite bands from my youth, along with the Beatles and the Bee Gees. A legend in Oz, when I was growing up.
