Footballer Tommy Gemmell died during the week: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/03/02/tommy-gemmell-one-celtics-lisbon-lions-dies-age-73/

He isn't particularly familiar to me, but apparently he was part of the Celtic team that was the first British side to win the European Cup.

Just noticed a strange coincidence in the Wiki Deathlist:

Frances Hargreaves, 62, South African-born Australian actress, born Jan 1955, died March 2017.

Joachim Baxla, 62, Indian politician, MP (1996–2009), born Jan 1955, died March 2017.

Turner prizewinning artist, Sir Howard Hodgkin, aged 84.

In 1996 I took my young daughters Sunshine (then 9) and Moonlight (then 6) to a major exhibition of his work at the Hayward Gallery on the South Bank. There was a special childrens tour, and they loved the vibrant colours and the stories behind each piece. Children come to art with no preconceptions, they just know what they like.

Chuck Berry.

(Pretty sure I had him on my list a few years ago and came to the conclusion that he was immortal. Which he sort of is.)

The intro to Johnny B Goode has been my wake-up tune on my phone alarm for years. He certainly revolutionised guitar playing.

Oddly, McGuinness and Adams were never picked in this game. (There's still time for Adams, of course)
