Kobe Bryant. People die every day but this one struck me a bit more. I can only really think of all the positive goodwill this guy promoted about everything good in life. Made many people happy and feel good about themselves. A terrible loss.

Terry Jones. He wasn't the messiah, he was a very naughty boy.

Only just saw this thread as I heard he died while watching the gf last week. I'd wondered why I hadn't heard anything before and just searched the site then.
Really sad loss for his family and football. Loved you at Carlton Shovel and respected you at Knights before that. Too young to pass.
My condolences to his family, seemed like a great bloke.

yep RIP Shovel.

RIP,  great player & great bloke.   

David Cervinski, who died after a long battle with cancer aged 48. Geelong boy who played for Melbourne Knights and Wollongong Wolves in the NSL, among others.

Sad news. They were very good for a manufactured TV band.

RIP Peter

Peter Tork, The Monkees bassist, dies aged 77.

Funny guy, loved the show and the band.
Rip. 

This is a little early but my old coach from Perth who is coaching Morley windmills sc Mauro Marchione, apparently he has been diagnosed with cancer so he has 6 to 8 months to live. I would like to thank him for introducing me to the mafia ( the team) during my time over there I worked my ass off to get in that team. And when he took me aside and told me "congrats you made the team" bloke changed football in Perth regarded as one of the best coaches in WA. He played proffesional in Italy at Lazio and playing around serie B serie C but the mentality he had was something to win doesn't matter the performance as long as you win. He may have sometimes been a mentos exploding out of a coke and had that distinct scream we got a lot of noise complaints lol.
But thanks Mauro for teaching me I regard you as the best coach I've had.

commiserations mate.

Is he that bloke from Mallrats?

RIP Stan Lee.

Sorry to hear that.

Rip in my father in law . Died today from a heart attack. The best father  in law a man could ask for and the best grand dad my kids could ask for. I've now lost two men I looked up to and my kids have no more male grandparents . 

R.i.p bob jane . Sadly his last years where known for all the family in fighting.

Bruno Sammartino passes away 

agree, a HUGE man and voice whatever he called.
Talked it up no matter the sport, was a hoot tbh.
Lifesaver, commentator and loved driving in charity rallies.
RIP Dazza !

Darryl Eastlake

I know he was battling Alheizmers for years but still a big part of my childhood sporting memories gone.

His commentary in any sport you put before him whether touring cars or weightlifting was legendary.

I think you're looking for the "Burn in Hell" thread, 

Glad the world is finally rid of the cripple.

Shows how much scientists know
