There was an American with that name who worked at Burger King or Mickey D‘s or …. She had very interesting posts about her work and becoming a permanent resident, or citizen, as I recall. I think she lives up North somewhere.

Christoph Daum, German football coach.

Sven-Göran Ericksson.
A successful soccer coach , both in England and Germany. And eslewhere.
But for me the most impressive thing is the way he met his death. A few months ago , he announced he had terminal cancer and he said it was OK. He was calm and dignified about his approaching death.
I only hope when my time comes, I can be as calm and dignified as he was.

The "voice" has been silenced. RIP Mr Jones.

BTW, the 1977 film was the only one I attended or cared to. I'm also no a Star Wars fan. Always found James Earl a massive presence on screen.
