Kim Hughes went public recently about his battle with alcoholism.

Kim Hughes lost almost everything to drinking before he accepted it was time to pull up stumps

Australia's golden boy Kim Hughes used to be the life of the party, until his alcohol abuse caught up with him. The former Test cricket captain says it took losing almost everything before he accepted it was time to pull up stumps.

Why these particular names?

Why these particular names?

The click bait advertisers can't even be bothered doing their own research these days

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Why these particular names?

No particular reason, they were names of people who came into my head who were relatively prominent at one stage, but we don't really see or hear much about them these days.

Kim Hughes still does cricket commentary for the ABC and he also does a regular ABC sports talkback segment here in WA so he's still quite prominent.

Greg Ritchie still does some media work but I think he's retired his Mahatma Cote character as it would be seen as offensive to the woke brigade now.

 

[Butters and Pepper]

Yeah, it was sad to hear about Hughes problems with alcohol.

Was recently watching a video of him batting in a Test match in late 70s when he was out for 99. He was a very entertaining batsman when in full flight.

I wonder how much his tearful resignation - and events surrounding it - affected him in latter years.

Still on cricket, if someone told me 10 years ago that Dean Jones, Warne, Max Walker, Rod Marsh, Andrew Symonds and Martin Crowe all wouldn't be with us in 2023, I simply wouldn't have believed it.

 

[Plugger35]

I think it was Kim's marriage break up that triggered his problems with alcohol rather than his resignation as captain and issues with his cricket career.

pop up on the main board this week... there's an AFL player I haven't thought about for a while.

 

[Frank Bunn]

Louis Shelton. Legendary session guitarist that played on hundreds of hits including 'I Want You Back' and 'ABC' by the Jackson 5, 'Last Train to Clarksville' by the Monkees, Hello by Lionel Richie. Guys like him get no writing credits but are responsible for some of the most iconic songs in history.



He's living and working on the Gold Coast now.

Where's Ben Dark at nowadays?

Great musicians those session players, you’d have to be very versatile of course.

A lot of 90s people there I haven't heard anything about for a long time.

Was Helen Richey the judge on Dancing with The Stars?

Pascal Fox I tried googling, looks like she's done no tv for about 20 years. I assume she and many others are now just doing some normal type of job.

More than fact it was funny as cot death and not so much the woke brigade.
