NFL football star Franco Harris, of the Pittsburg Steelers died at 72. The team was going to retire his number this weekend at the game which I think is the 50th anniversary of the "Immaculate Reception" where he caught a ball that bounced off another of his team and ran it in for a touchdown.
Ali Ahmed Aslam, 77, inventor of the Chicken tikka masala, passed away this week. He is guaranteed to go down in history as a legend of Indian cuisine in Britain.
