I remember my first Panini sticker book as a kid having the West Have Team of the time, around about 1980 ,and how old they all looked. 

799 games for West Ham, but actually started his career at Charlton,

Back in the day, Stanley Baxter was a great entertainer.

You're right though, thought he'd died many years ago.

Ninety nine is a fair innings to be fair

I thought he'd been deid for about 30 years. I wonder how many other people I think are deid are actually still alive.

My Mother was a huge fan back in the day, as I am sure were plenty others.

I remember more from the Kids TV series Mr Majieka

I just discovered he was gay. Not surprised, as he played the female parts with a lot of enthusiasm, but had never realised he had come out.

Married a woman, but it was a lavender marriage. Hard to believe the lengths they had to go to back then to hide their sexuality.
