Pavarotti

My memories of World Cup '90? Gazza crying, losing on penalties to Germany, Toto Scillachi, Roger Milla and running battles with the Italian Caribrinari ... oh yeah and some big fat guy wandering round Milan in a big shirt singing 'Nessum Dorma'.

Just heard that our large Italian friend has lost his battle with cancer. Not really a fan of opera but give the guy credit for bringing it to the huddled masses on the back of the World Cup.

If only World Cups were as entertaining and memorable as they were back then. Looks like England will not even make the next Euro Championships.

R.I.P. Pavarotti.

Sad as it is, did set me thinking which poor sod's they have lined up to carry the coffin.
