Sorry, sorry. RIP, legends both

wtf, this was his last tweet:

Sad to hear the news that Rod Marsh has passed. He was a legend of our great game & an inspiration to so many young boys & girls. Rod cared deeply about cricket & gave so much-especially to Australia & England players. Sending lots & lots of love to Ros & the family. RIP mate❤️

Haven't be so upset by a bleach blonde Australian geezer dying since Steve Irwin...

RIP one of the most exciting cricketers to watch of all time. remember watching 'the ball' vs gatting and was very much the same feeling as when i saw bergkamp goal vs newcastle.

oscar bravo, Friday, 4 March 2022 15:17 (two years ago) link

really shocking. whenever you watched him bowl you were convinced he was going to take a wicket. he created doubt in the batsman’s mind just by his presence. good captain as well.

His two most recent albums were great, made with an incredible band: Bill Frisell on guitar, Jason Moran on piano, Thomas Morgan on bass, and Brian Blade on drums. He had two records before that with just Frisell and Blade that I need to check out.

He is a welcome presence in the Ginger Baker documentary.

Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 March 2022 00:49 (two years ago) link

In fact this album he made with Ginger Baker called Coward of the County seems like it might be good.

Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 March 2022 01:05 (two years ago) link

He also made a great album with Moran and Mary Halvorson, BANGS.

UK actor Ron Pember, presumably another Bosom Manor star

RIP Ron Pember, who was one of those actors who seemed to be in everything - Secret Army, Avengers, Only Fools, Rumpole, Victoria Wood, Naked Civil Servant etc, as well as having serious RSC theatre chops. pic.twitter.com/j9jFteNmXB

I was out so missed this, otherwise I would have posted it as the Bosom Manor expert.

The last time I watched Death Line I had forgotten he was in it and excitedly shouted RON PEMBER! at the screen when he came on.

Has he been in as much stuff as Ian Wolfe?

Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 10 March 2022 23:29 (two years ago) link

Half a dozen credits in it according to the numbers on IMDb.
