This makes me smile and it’s even more sad to think that he is no longer with us.

Really felt this one, feels like we've lost a person we could really do with not losing.

Don't know whether this has been posted already.
An old documentary/feature that was repeated after Newsnight last night. A good watch, and Villa are included.

You will need iPlayer. If link doesn't work it was on BBC2.

A round of applause on 65 minutes on Saturday would be fitting.

RIP Benjamin

Was thinking of a suitable minute for applause for hom and that would be fitting.

A lovely man and a huge shock when I heard. We should really do something for him tomorrow.
