This has nothing to do with photography but it's important to me. Once you get to a certain age, you start to see all your childhood heroes pass away. Hence this article. I have just heard today of the sad passing of a former Hull City Goalkeeper - Ian McKenechnie.
No there was a character and a footballer (not like today's generation of pampered and sticking rich mega stars). He was seen eating a orange after a training session so in subsequent home matches every time he took up position between the goal posts a load of oranges were thrown to him.
There was another character similar to Ian, Charlie Wright of Charlton Athletic, if nothing was going on in the match and his team was attacking he used to chat to supporters behind his goal. They don't make them like him and Ian any more.
I remember seeing Ian play a number times. Along with Tony Norman, he was perhaps the best Goal Keeper that City have ever had.
RIP Ian McKenechnie.
