John Nash was a pioneer in the mathematics of game theories and was no doubt a genius, but as with many geniuses, his life was dogged by mental illness.

In John Nash's case it was paranoid schizophrenia, which caused him to have delusions of grandeur and exhibit odd behaviour. Sadly, as with many geniuses, it seems a narrow dividing line between great creativity and madness.

Bobby Collins. Diminutive but hard as nails. He refused to wear anything other than wool socks at the time as I recall, because he hated the nylon ones. Hence, at both Everton and Leeds his white socks / stockings  were always a little less white. He certainly shone in the field though, leaving Everton too soon. 

Also, this week has seen the demise of Andy King the chirpy Londoner who played so well for Everton, scoring a fine goal against Liverpool once when I was away on business in London. Bad timing by me! 

Cheers Gentlemen, and thank you both.

A sad day indeed. Charles Kennedy was a man who was able to cross polical borders, and actually did answer questions directly. A man who was very real and human. I liked him.
