May he RIP
His best-known hit, 1979's "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," is still a staple at classic rock stations.

Just saw this at Chessbase.com:

"Initially, Ennio Morricone wanted to become a chess professional. But then he realized that his musical talent was much greater than his talent for chess and he became a composer, whose music added a special touch to many famous films."

Even as an England fan what he brought to Italia 90 is the biggest memory for me. Thank you Jack Charlton.

I’ll never forget Italia 90 for Gaza, Lineker and Big Jack with Ireland. Played for Leeds for 23 years, won the World Cup with England in 1966.

Brilliant footballer and sporting icon.
