And now Emlyn Hughes dies

[Chappers]

This has been a bad period for the loss of cultural heroes in the UK. As a boy I supported Liverpool (probably because they seemed to win everything) but I keep a soft spot for them and was saddened about this one too.
Todays celebrities are nothing compared to people like Emlyn.

Get used to the death-thing. At my age I am amazed daily about the folks I grew up watching dropping off, and it's excellerating! It seems like just yesterday I was 14 and watching "Death Wish". I had NO IDEA that Charles Bronson was 82 when he died last year!

He's just a year older than I am. Brain cancer is very tough to combat. Emlyn Hughes was a great athlete. My prayers go out to his family and friends. May he now rest in peace.

such sad news. "Crazy Horse" was such a happy figure, so great to see...he celebrated every goal like it was his first

"Come on Without, Come On Within, You'll Not See Nothin Like the Mighty Emlyn!"

Rest In Peace Big Em
You'll Never Walk Alone
