John le Carre dies at 89. Writer of one of the greatest political novels in English, Spy Who Came in from the Cold. Former British agent. An unusual life.

Gerard Houllier, manager of the Spice Boys Liverpool side at 73. Doesn't feel like he should be that old.

le Carre, I knew about. While it wasn't really my genre, he seemed to be held in extremely high regard by his peers, which always says a lot

Houllier caught me by surprise. Always seemed like a nice man to me. He showed you didn't need to be a tw@t to be successful in football. I couldn't give a stuff about Liverpool, but that win in Istanbul even had me dancing around the room. Agreed.... it didn't even occur to me that he could be 73

Edrich was a standout bat for England in his time. And that's a more than handy average for an opener, 43.5.

Sheena, with Ms. Roberts in an insubstantial peasant robe always seemed a video store essential back in the eighties.

Gerry, three number ones with first three releases.

Sheena queen of the jungle

My early glimpses of flesh would be Hammer films. So Kate O'Mara, Ingrid Pitt, Caroline Monro etc.
