The R.I.P thread

RIP Niki you fuckn hero and legend.

The epitome of ‘never say die’. He should have died in 1976 but he said fuck that and lived another 43 years.

He had a full life with its ups and downs but unfortunately he succumbed to issues that arose because of that accident. Lung transplants, are tricky business, and after 2 kidney transplants too, he was on his way.

But amazing stuff, how active he was even last season with all that’s happened to him. Such a fighter.

RIP Niki. True legend of the sport.

Ah man!

What a fucking man and driver!

Rip

RIP!

Sad news :pensive:

RIP Niki. A true icon in the F1 world.

Right up there in the conversation about best ever. RIP Niki.

True legends transcend all sports and Niki Lauda is in that club. Old enough to remember that crash and be blown away by the mans journey into greatness.
What did the man not do.
As an Arsenal fan im going to give him the title of Invincible. RIP.

RIP Lennart. Always honourable and never took a bribe. The last of a dying breed. You will be missed.

Wow. Only 49. I’m sure a lot of you remember when he was still playing. 200 odd games for Spurs.

Wow, the name Justin Edinburgh is a real throwback to my youth when I was first getting into football. 49 is no age, I can only imagine how devastated his family must be.

Its very much a side note, but this is also awful for Leyton Orient given what he’d just achieved with them, and what he might have achieved with them in the future.

So, so sad.

Very sad news. No age indeed. Hope Leyton do a madness next season for him.

Rest In Peace.
