    Presided over a great era for Fulham FC. Don't know about the statue of Michael Jackson though, a bit random

    Hilarious listening to his obituary on the BBC

    Goes from humble lemonade salesman to owner of Harrod's quickly glossing over the fact that he married the daughter of a billionaire arms dealer

    Sister sorry

    "Mr Al Fayed rose from selling fizzy drinks on the streets of his native Alexandria in Egypt to become a big name in business with all the right contacts.

    His break came after he met his first wife, Samira Khashoggi, the sister of Saudi millionaire arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi - who employed him in his Saudi Arabian import business."

    Disturbingly, in 2014, when there were 7 Margaritaville restaurants, despite me being a Kiwi who had barely left NZ, somehow I'd been to 3 (Vegas, Waikiki, Niagara Falls) of the 7 Margaritaville restaurants at the time.

    Never really cared for Jimmy Buffett, but A Pirate Looks at 40 is a rather good song.

    Very good player, especially compared to some of his teammates. Definitely stood out.

    RIP, thanks for playing the wonderful game so well.

    There's only one F in Fayed, One F in Fayed...."

    Dodgy business dealings, Wacko statue and conspiracy theories aside Dodi's Dad is a nailed on Fulham legend.

    Never accepted by the British establishment he lapped up the adulation of the Fulham fan's.

    He had a genuine passion for the club plus you gotta love a Chairman that sent all the media who had written off Fulham as relegation certainties a courier package of gold Harrods cutlery in a box with their shredded newspaper articles together with an invitation to eat their words. Something he had said they would have to do back the previous August.

    @Tim Never really cared for him either but I think he was popular because his songs were easy to sing along with. As my friend said, His songs create an island escapism that allow you to feel like you are somewhere else. They are usually happy songs and paint a great picture.
