FROM a boyhood Buddie to becoming one of the Bhoys. And a Hampden cup final stage that he twice lit up with scoring feats which have long been engraved into the annals of the Scottish game. Thanks to @MailSport @stevendonn for giving me some acreage today to salute Dixie Deans

Fans loved Dixie so much they forgave him for Inter penalty miss

He lived to witness the era of the 'false nine' but those who watched him in spectacular, belligerent action knew that John 'Dixie' Deans was the embodiment of the traditional centre-forward.

Farewell Dixie. A peerless striker. And a footballer who, in those salad days, connected with the ordinary fan. I wrote his biography. And bought his house. Now i live in Dixieland where the ghosts of celtic icons mingle. Read @Redblaes fulsome tribute. dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba…

What an extraordinary talent! Brian Wilson single-handedly raised the bar on how to write and arrange a great pop song. He inspired and touched so many songwriters, including me. It pushed the Beatles towards Sergeant Pepper and in God Only Knows he created a masterpiece that remains unmatched to this day. God speed, Brian. -pg

Sad to hear about the death of George Foreman. A pillar of boxing in the days when they were kings. A devastating puncher who became a humble preacher. Who can forget him knocking smokin' Joe off his feet? The rumble in the jungle with Ali is seared in my memory. Go easy big man.
