West Ham Online

Just watching The Specials and watching Terry Hall filled me with tears, my hero. Any other celebrity deaths that have really affected you?

If a set list had the likes of Randall, Dr S Gachet and Mickey Finn on,  you know it's gonna be a good night.

Cholo - One of the best he was, mate. 

Bob Crow!

An old footballing team mate of mine!

He was a god to me.....he use to tell me stories of how he would bring an old dog back to his home, so he would rest his bollocks on her head and he would wank himself off whilst she licked his cսnt (his words not mine) and that's why I worshiped the ground he walked on!

RIP Skipper and Comrade xx 

 

As a young bloke we was out raving every week to Jungle and Drum and Bass and one of the top DJs was Randall. Loads on here probably heard of him. I never knew him personally but he evoked an era of my life that was untouchable. Just free and enjoying life. Randall was always my favourite and probably most other peoples. He sadly died very recently and I was totally gutted. Not only because he we was only a few years older then me so opens your eyes, but it just felt like a little part of that era died aswell. Funny how death affects you. 

Amy Winehouse 

Bobby Moore
Gary Moore
Phil Lynott 

Mark Hollis from Talk Talk. He was born the exact same day as myself jan 4th 1955. Made me realise my mortality very quickly.

Bobby Moore, Ian Dury, Seve, John Bradbury, Keith Flint, Chris Cornell, Terry Hall

Freddie Mercury, Lemmy and EVH.

Gary Speed. He was the same age as me, and at the time I was going through a rough patch with my marriage ending so wasn't exactly in top form myself.

I was devastated when Phil Lynott died, I had listened to his music from around the age of 15 and my Thin Lizzy albums were played non-stop in my bedroom, it felt like a real loss when it happened.

Was a bit gutted when Roger Moore died as a big childhood hero as Bond. When Seve died it was sad. And wait for it..Maradona, say what you want but I preferred having him above ground. And David Bowie.

Not sure he was a celeb, but a footballer who player for us. Marc Vivien Foe.

Not sure why but that one did affect me, watching the footage even now makes me feel uneasy

Great singer, song writer and person and to be violently and gorily killed in front of her two sons was made even more tragic by the guy responsible being able to put up a fall guy who got fined just £61 for it.

When I was a dispatch rider a thousand years ago I was riding my trusty CX500 around Berkeley Square when I saw an Evening Standard board that simply said 'BOBBY MOORE DEAD'. I got off the bike with tears in my eyes (even though I never saw him play for West Ham, only Fulham) and took the headline away with me.

It was a bit of an odd reaction really as you can't exactly frame it and whenever I am digging through my old shit and I see it my gut drops. It was just somehow 'important'.

Two Keiths that made the world a little bit smaller were Keith Moon and Keith Flint. I think the Firestarter light tribute to Keith that The Prodigy do live is a touch of class.

The Queen. That really surprised the old Anarchist in me.

rik mayall for me. world is a much more boring place without the bloke in it.

No doubt your still mourning Mussolini

Have to say it was sad when Robin Williams and Olivia Newton John passed as they seemed just genuinely nice people.

It was that useless arm

Rod Hull.

Tragic circumstances.
