    @MN5 Well that was a fair assumption. He's looked dead for decades.

    Longtime home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86

    Longtime home run king Hank Aaron dies at 86

    Hank Aaron, known for his sweet swing that carried him to 755 career home runs, which long stood as baseball's golden mark, has died. He was 86.

    Hank Aaron was a major figure in American sports, was one of the black pioneers in a white dominated sport, and was the total home run MLB king until Barry Bonds eclipsed him

    That reminds me of Jimmy Carr introducing John Cooper Clarke on cats. "Dr John is 70 years old but doesn't look a day over died ten years ago".

    @Donsteppa Dead set Harbour legend and innovative coach.

    Liked this from the Herald's obit

    It was a listing in the Herald that convinced Thorburn that rugby players north of the harbour bridge needed their own union.
    
    In 1977 the Herald published the names of trialists for the Auckland U17 rugby team.
    
    "There were 117 names and only three from the other side of the bridge,'' he told the newspaper in 2013.

    Did his best work as Super 12 commissioner making sure the best players outside the protected lists were drafted.

    Loved some of his innovative tactics. Wasn't it The Great Wall of China tap move, and I seem to recall a 15 man lineout maul.

    Was a long time correspondent to Radio Sport (with Telfer IIRC). I fondly remember his labelling of talk back callers The Flat Earth Society.
