Henry Heimlich died at 96. He did not choke do dearh.

Go ogling him he was somewhat controversial. Like many innovators, some of his theories will be brilliant while others off base. One theory was that u inject people with HIV the malaria virus and I think he did these experiments with humans in China.

I have said "hello" to Ugo a few times at games when Spurs 23's have playing their counterparts at either Man United or Man City and he has always said "hello" back with a smile, a very nice bloke indeed

Our U23's were due to play Spurs this Monday at Old Trafford but that has now been postponed for obvious reasons, I just wish it was not the case.......very very sad news

RIP Nicky Hayden

American motorcycle racer and 2006 MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden has died from injuries sustained from a collision with a car last week while out training on his bicycle in Rimini.

I had the pleasure of meeting and fan-talking with Nicky at several MotoGPs over the years (spring for a paddock pass; you won't regret it).  Just brief chats, wishing him well, good luck, etc.  He was always open and friendly, always an optimist.  Forgive me for being chauvinistic, but I always thought that he presented the best of the American spirit to the rest of the world.  And clearly people responded to that.  Indeed, he was one of the best-liked riders in the MotoGP paddock and over the last two years in WSBK.
