Death Notices

James Avery aka Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

That's a shame about 'Uncle Phil'. Complications after heart surgery, it seems. He was great in The Fresh Prince.

Voiced Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too.

That's right. Apparently he did a lot of voice work for animated characters. He'll always be 'Uncle Phil' to me though. I never tired of him 'throwing' Jazz out on his ear.

Phil Everly of "The Everly Brother's" fame. RIP

I "dream't" that last night,Good God

[Over the Bar]

Almost a month has passed without a Morgan Freeman is dead rumour on the 'net.  Ergo: he must be on his last legs for real.

Eusebio passed away today.

[T Fearon]

One of the all time greats of football's golden era in 69s, with Johnstone,Best,Charlton Law etc.Lost the 1966 World Cup semi final and 1968 European Cup Final at Wembley,unluckily on both occasions,and applauded Stepney's crucial save from him at the end of normal time in 68 European Cup Final(otherwise Man Ure would have had to wait until 1999), showing true sportsmanship.

I'd expect Eusebio might disagree with your opinion, if it counted that is.

[ziggy90]

I'd have been a big Celtic fan back then and worshipped "wee jinxy" but I'm afraid MR2's right, Eusebio was way ahead of him as a footballer.

[Oraisteach]

Will always remember the 1966 Portugal vs. North Korea World Cup game.  NK went up 3-0 after about 20 minnutes, and then Eusabio went nuts.  Final score 5-3 Portugal.  Eusabio scored four.

[rodney trotter]

He scored 733 goals in 745 competitive games. Unreal.

Watch Jinky destroying all and sundry in Celtic's run to Lisbon and particularly against Leeds in the 1970 semi final.Also watch Eusebio against Man Ure,1968, against a United defence of Dunne,Foulkes and Brennan.Nobby Stiles effectively marked Eusebio out of the 1966 WC semi final,and 1968 European Cup Final,neither he nor any other player in the World could have stopped Jinky.Deserves comparison with Eusebio

In all honesty, Tony, what age were you when Celtic got to Lisbon final to be coming out with  a statement like that?
