Maybe a bit unusual for a football forum, but wanted to mark the passing of Bob Newhart, one of the great comedians IMO.

His standup work in the 50s and 60s was truly groundbreaking and, more importantly, hilariously funny.

We used to listen to a tape of his stuff on car journeys when I was a kid - Newhart on one side and Billy Connolly on the other, and I pretty much learned both of them by heart.

He died at the age of 94, so it's not exactly a surprise, but I'm truly saddened to hear that he's gone.

If you don't know his work, it's worth seeking out. Funny, smart, good-natured and unlike anyone else I can think of.

R.I.P. Bob.
