awful news about Marvellous Marvin. I am not really a boxing fan but as a kid Hagler, Leonard, Hearns and Duran were Mayweather/Pacquiao famous.

I've watched The War fight with Tommy Hearns at least 50 times - the biggest and best fight of 1985.
only knocked down once in his entire career and totally unknockoutable, Marvin's chin was famous for being able to take anything thrown at it.
Marvin lost three fights - one early one I don't know about, but his defeat in his first title match in 1979 was a shocking injustice and the decision going to Sugar Ray Leonard in Marvin's final fight is still one of the most disputed decisions in boxing history - which often causes arguments even 34 years later.
Marvin was middle weight World Champ in the years between Ali and Tyson (78-86 era) when the heavy weight division was in the wilderness.
and of course he looked way cool with his bald head which was rare then.

another part of my childhood gone...

I remember them - 90's emo.

I had an idea years ago for a thread on bands named after people. particularly it was a big trend in 90's punk.
I especially liked bands named after musicians:

there was a hardcore band from circa the early 2000's who did demos under the name ROB HALFORD.
A fast hardcore band from Moscow called GEORGE HARRISON (after he died).
a breakcore artist called DONNA SUMMER (when she was still alive!)
also a female noise artist from Texas called KEVIN SHIELDS.

Peter Lorimer (1946-2021)
Leeds and Scotland footballer died in a hospice last night.

Lormier's dubiously disallowed goal against Bayern Munich in the 1975 European Cup Final (@ 0-0)
is well remembered in the last big match of Leeds era (1964-1975).

a 90's pop punk group from Leeds called LORIMER recorded a Peel session.

Eddie Gray, Lorimer's former room mate of 12 years and later his manager and fellow Scot
had this to say on Football Focus today:

in closing moments of the 1967 FA Cup semi v Chelsea at Villa Park Leeds were awarded
a free kick which Giles passed to Lorimer who in typical style smashed the ball into
the top corner to level the match.
not for the last time the ref came up with a flimsy reason to disallow a Leeds goal.
