Don't expect too many people will have heard of this goalkeeper. But still worth mentioning, in the wake of his suicide whilst at the height of his career. Just seems a sad tale, and this sort of thing makes me grateful for what I do have, rather than what I don't. And simply for that, I thought it's worth sharing.

He was going to be Germany's number one for the world cup. Sad news indeed, just shows you that you can finally attain your ultimate goal in life but depression can say otherwise.

Oh no... That really is a loss.

Even the weakest thing he did, The Equaliser for telly, was brilliantly played.  He never gave less than 100%.  Genius.

That's a shame. We watched the Equalizer religiously when I was a kid.

Did you not see Crusade? Admittedly he was only in one episode and it was stunt casting to put him alongside his son who was one of the leads but God it was dire. A flawed show to begin with, that episode was just atrocious. I doubt he knew what he was getting himself into.

I didn't.  The whole thing looked deeply crap so I avoided it (a tactic I've used on 24, Lost and, ooooh, hundreds of other shows that looked like they'd get my goat).

I've only seen two or three episodes of Callan from back when I was VHS tape trading, but what I saw was pretty amazing.  Hell of a talent!
