RIP: Henry Cooper and Seve Ballesteros

Just seen Seve has just passed away: fantastic golfer who made the Ryder Cup a European affair, and bolstered the team to multiple victories. Also a prolific golfer himself with 5 majors under his belt, it's a shame he's died so young (age 54).

Sir Henry Cooper also passed away earlier this week. From putting Clay on the floor and leading him in two bouts, to exceptional TV coverage of the sport. A bit older than Seve at 76.

Hats off to the both of them.
