RIP, famous person

[Sundae]

David Coleman.
Damn.
It's not even a cold Winter and it takes them anyway.

'The big Cuban opened his legs and showed his class'
David Coleman
Montreal Olympics, 1976

The man who gave his name to a commentary cock-up (the Colemanball) could sometimes be so bad he was good. Like here, for instance. As Cuban Alberto Juantorena - nicknamed 'El Caballo' (the horse) for his muscular appearance and nine-foot stride - powered to 400m and 800m gold medals in Montreal, Coleman began his fine foot-in-mouth tradition with this observation.

Actually this one might belong in the bummed out thread. For me.
Because I read Private Eye for years (and Colemanballs was their column) and because my bro and I laughed until we cried together over his howlers in print, by chance live or in compilations.

But he had a good and successful life, so it's not for me to be bummed.
And I think he'd laugh at that.
