I remember watching that and sitting there speechless. The final scene in the railway station is one of the finest bits of television ever produced

Thoughts are with you and yours.

That's tough, hard to deal with two in such a short space of time.
Sorry for your loss Doon.

That puts me in mind of my mum during lockdown.
In the space of 6 months she lost her best friend and three sisters!
My mum got through it and she'll be 96yrs old next month.

Hugh McIlvanney said about him "He has the physique of a Greek statue, but with fewer moves"
A brave fighter, went the distance with Ali and Frazier.
I remember hearing an interview with Frank Bruno after he fought him. Bruno said that Bugner taught him a lot about selling a fight in the lead up. There was no malice, it was just for show. Bugner knew it was a game to sell interest. I wonder if some of Bugner's unpopularity, apart from usurping Henry, was that he understood how to sell a fight, probably learnt from Ali, and that didn't sit well with the British public.

Weren't Liverpool going to buy him with the last of the Coutinho money.
His name ends in a vowel so he must be good
