[GREASED WEASEL]

Yes,indeed

There's a piece on the BBC website

Blimey. Still clearly remember the shock of the news.

I remember when I was a kid my grandparents saying that the older you get, the quicker time goes by.

So true.

Absolutely tragic,so sad that he could not cope and, so sad he could not reach out for help. RIP

 

[Pavilionaire]

What a super player he was. 10 years on and he is still missed.

 

[Poojah]

Absolutely tragic,so sad that he could not cope and, so sad he could not reach out for help. RIP

I think one of the saddest things about his death is that it was considered likely that he was not genuinely suicidal and had not really intended to take his own life. One mooted possibility was that he placed a ligature around his neck for dramatic effect expecting his wife to find him, then drunkenly fell asleep when she failed to do so (having fallen asleep herself).

The never really knowing must be agony in itself for his family. RIP.
