RIP Michael, interesting and unusual post-footballing career.

Robinson also did voice-over work on television adverts, as well as feature films – voicing the ugly sister in the dubbed Spanish versions of the Shrek films by DreamWorks Animation.

ach, thats a shame. remember first encountering him while on holiday in Barcelona watching the telly hungover/on a come down in a too warm flat. being really confused that an English guy had his own football show on Spanish tv.

Oh no, Irfan Khan, 53.

Maj Sjöwall (84), author

RIP. Love me some Martin Beck.

i didn't like roseanna but i hear it's not one of their best ones.

RIP Sjöwall

They vary in quality but most are really good, especially The Laughing Policeman

Think I heard that The Terrorists is crazy.

another ex Leeds Utd 73-74 championship winner, Trevor Cherry, just a fortnight after Hunter.

They'll be running out of stands to rename.

he's one of these players that had a hard early 60's apprenticeship at 2nd division Hudds Town and after helping them win promotion to Div One on shit wages and seeing our tight Yorkshire cunt chairman barely spend a penny to strengthen the squad, can't begrudge him jumping ship to L666s Utd at the first chance after we predictably got relegated tbf!

i didn't like roseanna but i hear it's not one of their best ones.

I always advise people to skip Roseanna and The Man Who Went Up in Smoke. The rest are great, esp. The Laughing Policeman and The Fire Engine That Disappeared.

Yeah, those two

i called most of those ex-England lags every name under the sun at the time but it's sad watching them peg out

Bad week for Indian actors - Rishi Kapoor, 67.

RIP Matty Simmons (upper right), publisher of the National Lampoon, producer of ANIMAL HOUSE and the VACATION series. I heard a lot of shit spoken about Matty, and maybe it was deserved, but he was very open and supportive of me when I wrote MR. MIKE. So long. pic.twitter.com/ec2PLqRf43
