That's very sad. I better remember his time with Arsenal, he was such a lovely footballer. Were it not for him, the old "retain and transfer" system would still be in place. Every modern footballer owes a debt of gratitude to George.

It was his transfer to Arsenal from Newcastle which caused the change in the laws , went to court and everything

"However, during his time at Newcastle United Eastham fell out with the club, with Eastham disputing whether the house the club had supplied him was habitable, the unsatisfactory secondary job that the club had arranged (as maximum wage rules at the time forbade clubs from paying the market rate) and their attempts to stop him playing for the England U23 team."
I remember him with some fondness as a good President. He was among the first of the World leaders to embrace & encourage conservation & recognize Climate Change, & he fully supported the Civil Rights movement & most important of all, he denounced & helped to end racial segregation, which was a very big deal indeed in his hometown state of Georgia which was traditionally anti-black. He also brokered peace between Egypt & Israel - no mean feat - & it's generally assumed it was that which helped him earn the Nobel Peace Prize.
As it happens, & on a topical note, he promoted, agreed & signed the deal to hand the Panama Canal over to Panama, which our racist friend Trump now wants to renege upon. Trump would have been very popular in Georgia....
The end of his Presidency coincided with the Iran Hostage siege, the failed attempt to rescue them, & subsequent successful negotiations to release them.
For some reason the media like to tag major figures with a silly nickname, & Mr Carter was generally known as the "peanut farmer" as he had a peanut farm. In later years, he converted much of the acreage into a Solar Farm.
Jimmy Carter will be remembered (IMO) a lot like Gordon Brown.
He wasn't a particularly good President.
What he will primarily be remembered for is for his tremendous work after he was no longer President
He certainly never "cashed in" on his Presidency, unlike two of the UK's recent & short--lived PM's who who rushed out ghost-written autobios & accepted lucrative speaking engagements all over the world. Like him or not, he was a proper old-fashioned politician.

Lived in the same little house all his life too.

RIP Mr Carter, you did a good job.
He was one of the first presidents that I was actually aware of as I was in school when he was inaugurated, seemed like a really nice person in absolute contrast with what we are about to get.....
BBC DJ Johnnie Walker dies aged 79 two months after retiring.
Johnnie Walker has died at the age of 79, it has been announced.
At the end of October, the veteran radio DJ presented his final Sounds Of The 70s show on BBC Radio 2 and hosted his last episode of The Rock Show as he retired because of ill health.
Walker had announced in early October that he was retiring from radio after 58 years having been previously diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Are those 'photos before or after her plastic surgery?
Early stages I think, it got much, much worse. I won't post the pictures as people may be having breakfast, but they're not good. As always she was a pretty lady when younger and ruined her looks by refusing to age gracefully.

Times were very different for footballers then.

Jocelyn Wildenstein, ‘Catwoman’ Socialite Known for Extreme Plastic Surgeries, Dies at 84
Rest In Plastic
Can't be burried as no decomposition will occur.
Can't be burried at sea as that contravines the plastics in the sea legislation.
Guess we will just have to put her in the blue bin on Monday.
I know, it's a bad joke but, deaths not funny.
Are those 'photos before or after her plastic surgery?
@Enut
Good grief. I just made the mistake of having a look on google Images. Not a memory easily erased.
This was her before.
