Norman BodellJanuary 1938November 2024Norman Bodell (29 January 1938 – 22 November 2024) was an English professional footballer, coach, manager and scout. He played as a defender, making 224 appearances in the Football League for Rochdale, Crewe Alexandra and Halifax Town before moving into non-League football with Altrincham. He played for Rochdale in the final of the 1961–62 League Cup which they lost to Norwich City. Bodell was born in Manchester on 29 January 1938.[1] He joined Rochdale as an amateur in 1955[2] and turned professional in 1956.[1] After completing his National Service requirements with the British Army of the Rhine in 1958,[3] Bodell made his senior debut on 7 February 1959 at home to Norwich City in the Football League Third Division.[4] Normally a centre forward,[3] he played in an unfamiliar wing-half position in a Rochdale side disrupted by illness; they lost 2–1, and fell to the foot of the table.[5] Rochdale were relegated at the end of the season, and Bodell stayed for another four years in Division Four, mainly as a wing-half. In the 1961–62 season, he helped Rochdale reach and played in both legs of the League Cup final which they lost to Norwich City.[6] Bodell played only four times in 1962–63, having signed month-by-month contracts because of a dispute over terms, and signed for Crewe Alexandra, about to gain promotion to the Third Division, in May 1963.[7] Bodell played more regularly for Crewe over the next three seasons,[4] but moved on to Fourth Division club Halifax Town in October 1967, where he was appointed captain and played almost exclusively at left back, a position he had occupied from time to time at his previous clubs.[8][4] Bodell left Northern Premier League club Altrincham, where his playing career ended because of knee ligament damage but where he had continued as coach, to become manager of Barrow in March 1969. He helped them avoid relegation that season, but was sacked the following February[9][10] with the team heading back down to the Fourth Division.[8] He went on to coach the reserve team at Wolverhampton Wanderers[11] and the first team at Preston North End under Bobby Charlton's management[12] before becoming Jim Smith's assistant at Blackburn Rovers in July 1975. When Smith left Blackburn for Birmingham City in March 1978, Bodell acted as caretaker manager for eight games until Jim Iley was appointed, and then rejoined Smith at Birmingham.[13] This situation was repeated four years later when Smith's dismissal in February 1982 left Bodell as caretaker for two matches until the appointment of Ron Saunders.[14] Bodell remained at Birmingham as coach and as chief scout, a post he went on to hold at West Bromwich Albion.[13] In Loving Memory Of: Norman Bodell January 1938 - November 2024 86 Years Old English Professional Footballer Your memorial?

George ForemanJanuary 1949March 2025George Edward Foreman (January 10, 1949 – March 21, 2025)[3][4] was an American professional boxer, entrepreneur, minister, and author. In boxing, he competed between 1967 and 1997 and was nicknamed "Big George". He was a two-time world heavyweight champion and an Olympic gold medalist. As an entrepreneur, he was known for the George Foreman Grill. After a troubled childhood, Foreman took up amateur boxing and won a gold medal in the heavyweight division at the 1968 Summer Olympics. Having turned professional the next year, he won the world heavyweight title with a stunning second-round knockout of the then-undefeated Joe Frazier in 1973. He defended the belt twice before suffering his first professional loss to Muhammad Ali in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974.[5] Unable to secure another title opportunity, Foreman retired after a loss to Jimmy Young in 1977. Following what he referred to as a born again experience, Foreman became an ordained Christian minister.[6][7] Ten years later he announced a comeback, and in 1994 at age 45 won the unified WBA, IBF, and lineal heavyweight championship titles by knocking out 26-year-old Michael Moorer. He dropped the WBA belt rather than face his mandatory title defense soon after, and following a single successful title defense against Axel Schulz, Foreman relinquished his IBF title as well on June 28, 1995. At 46 years and 169 days old, he was the oldest world heavyweight champion in history.[8] Foreman was the oldest to ever win the world heavyweight boxing championship of major honors and the second-oldest in any weight class after Bernard Hopkins (at light heavyweight). He retired in 1997 at the age of 48, with a final record of 76 wins (68 knockouts) and 5 losses, one of the famous losses coming at the hands of Muhammad Ali who hit him with a lightning fast 1-2 combination which was “the fastest punch” Foreman had ever seen. Foreman has been inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame and International Boxing Hall of Fame. The International Boxing Research Organization rates Foreman as the eighth-greatest heavyweight of all time.[9] In 2002, he was named one of the 25 greatest fighters of the past 80 years by The Ring.[10] The Ring ranked him as the ninth-greatest puncher of all time.[11] He was a ringside analyst for HBO's boxing coverage for 12 years until 2004.[12] Outside boxing, Foreman was a successful entrepreneur and known for his promotion of the George Foreman Grill, which has sold more than 100 million units worldwide.[13] In 1999, he sold the commercial rights to the grill for $138 million.[14] In Loving Memory Of: George Foreman January 1949 - March 2025 76 Years Old Heavyweight Boxing Champion Your memorial?

Rick BucklerDecember 1955February 2025Richard Paul Buckler was born on 6 December 1955 in the town of Woking in the county of Surrey, England. He received his education at Sheerwater Secondary School, in Woking. While there in the early 1970s, he joined other pupils in a newly formed band named the Jam.[2] Buckler was the drummer for the Jam from its formation in the early 1970s through to its break-up in the early 1980s, during which time it became a critically acclaimed and commercially successful rock band with an original sound as part of the mod revival movement in England's music and fashion scenes of the period.[3] Although the band's creative output came to be attributed primarily to its lead vocalist and guitarist Paul Weller, its rhythm section of Buckler and Bruce Foxton (bass guitar) were integral to its sound, and in retrospect Buckler felt that Weller had been given undue credit for the band's song catalogue to the detriment of its other members' contributions.[4] The band broke up at the behest of Weller in 1982, and Buckler and Weller – apart from a brief greeting exchanged in passing at a chance meeting – did not speak to one another again.[5] In 1983, Buckler set up a new band entitled Time UK, featuring himself on drums, Jimmy Edwards and Ray Simone, Danny Kustow, and the bassist Martin Gordon. Time UK sold nearly 6,000 copies of their first single release "The Cabaret".[citation needed] In the mid-1980s, Buckler briefly reunited with his former Jam bandmate Bruce Foxton, and with Jimmy Edwards they performed in a new band called Sharp, recording some new songs for the short-lived Unicorn record label. These recordings were subsequently reissued on a Time UK anthology release. After Time UK broke up, Buckler moved into production, running a studio in Islington, working on the album Bound for Glory by the Highliners (which he also drummed for briefly in 1990). He was also involved in the production of the debut studio album of the Family Cat, Tell 'Em We're Surfin (1989).[6] In the mid-1990s, Buckler abandoned professional music and went into business as an ad hoc carpenter, fashioning cabinets and 'distressed' furniture in Woking, Surrey.[7][5] In November 2005, Buckler re-entered professional music when he set up a new band called the Gift, named after the final studio album release by the Jam, with Russell Hastings (lead vocals/guitar) and Dave Moore (bass guitar), with himself on drums, playing exclusively old material from the Jam's back catalogue. In 2007, Bruce Foxton joined as the bassist (Moore moving to rhythm guitar and keyboards) and the new band began touring under the name of From the Jam. After four years of touring, Buckler quit From the Jam in September 2009, being replaced by Mark Brzezicki of Big Country. Criticism of the new act from a distance by Paul Weller confirmed that it was not going to be a means of a reformation of the original band,[8] and Buckler felt that to continue performing with it without Weller, ran the risk of his and Foxton's finding themselves in the situation of becoming a Jam tribute band.[5] In 2011, Buckler joined a short-lived new band named If as its drummer, with Tim V. from Sham 69 on vocals, and Ian Whitewood on second drums, Tony Feedback on guitar and Al Campbell on bass guitar.[citation needed] In July 2012, Buckler ceremonially unveiled an oak wood abstract art sculpture by Richard Heys, entitled "The Space Between", on the Guildford Road in Woking, commissioned at a cost of £45,000 by Woking Borough Council to commemorate the Jam in the band's home town.[9] In 2013, Buckler moved into a management consultancy role for number of new musical acts, including singer-guitarist Sarah Jane, and the band the Brompton Mix.[10] Buckler's autobiography, entitled That's Entertainment: My Life in the Jam, was published in 2015 by Omnibus Press.[11][12] In Loving Memory Of: Rick Buckler December 1955 - February 2025 69 Years Old British drummer Your memorial?

Our dedicated team, alongside the chapel attendant, stood together in quiet reverence, bowing respectfully as the curtains gently closed, marking the end of Anthea's earthly journey. Throughout the service, a beautiful floral tribute adorned Anthea's coffin, a personal touch that added warmth and comfort to the ceremony, reflecting the love and care shared by all who knew her.
