Barry John, the rugby great flyhalf who played 25 games for Wales and inspired the British and Irish Lions' famous series victory over the NZ All Blacks in 1971 has passed away. He was 79.
He retired from playing rugby after that series aged just 27.
His sidesteping ability was so bloody amazing
he would side you in a phone box said the All Blacks coach at the time.

The Dad’s Army and EastEnders actor Ian Lavender has died at the age of 77, his agent has said.
Lavender, who best known for playing Private Pike in the classic BBC comedy, was also its last surviving regular cast member. He died on Friday
Ian L once appeared in Celebrity Mastermind. As he sat in the famous chair, the host asked his name.
Rick wakeman - a fellow contestant - shouted: Don’t tell him Pike!
If you know, you know.
Surprised Carl Weathers didn't get a mention a few days back. Rocky would not be Rocky without him, indeed Stallone's movie probably would have flopped without Weathers as a foil.

Alexei Navalny
RIP, sir. Respect for a person willing to risk life for change
“In a statement, the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District said Mr Navalny "felt unwell" after taking a walk on Friday, and had lost consciousness.
It said medical staff had been unable to resuscitate Mr Navalny and that his cause of death would be investigated.
In Russia's autocracy, people who criticise Mr Putin have often ended up poisoned or dying under a cloud.“

Not sure why he returned to Russia after the poisoning, he would have known his eventual fate.
