One for the local footballers who might remember him, former D&E referee Mike Turner died on 26th October. He was definitely one of the characters as far as th refs were concerned from my playing days.

Dreadful episode.
Small comfort to his family that the fruit loop “Nick” was put away for a long time..Before Lord Bramell passed away.

The Met Plod & Watson should hang their heads in shame.

I know the police have to be more careful now and take allegations seriously but when they released the interview tapes after the conviction it just seemed so obvious he was a fantasist and completely untrustworthy.

I mean even if you knew nothing about the case and saw him being interviewed for the first time your first respond would not be "this man seems like a really reliable witness".

Jonah Lomu, NZ rugby legend. Aged 40, died from a cardiac arrest, I believe he'd been suffering from a kidney disease.
He died in 2015
