[Jacko The Flopsy Piglet]

I remember Dalian Atkinson as a player with great talent and physical attributes that never really fulfilled his talent. He was exciting to watch though and could hit a ball harder than most (usually hitting the post)!

Like Imre, I don't get over-sentimental by the passing of someone I only saw from afar and didn't know personally. However, like most right-thinking people I feel for his friends and loved ones who will have to cope with this unexpected loss. I reserve judgement on the police as they do a difficult job and have to make instant decisions about their own safety and those they are facing. If it is found to have been an avoidable death it just erodes people's faith in the arm of the law even further and does no-one any good, least of all the majority of officers who are good at their job. If there is a case to answer I hope it gets dealt with openly and those responsible are brought to book.
