    Carole Kaye was 90 a couple of days ago. Carole who? You might ask. You might not have heard of her but you will have heard her bass guitar as she was one of the most prolific session musicians, apparently having played on over 10,000 tracks, including many absolute classics. Google her for more info.

    Herb Alpert is 90 today. Remember his music well, he always seemed to be guest star on shows in the seventies with the Tijuana Brass. Just given myself a Spanish Flea earworm typing this!

    Ken Rosewall. Tennis player.

    Born 2 November 1934.

    Won every major except Wimbledon during his career. Rod Laver, an all time great, was around at the same time as Ken.

    Connors beat a 39 year old Rosewall in the Wimbledon final of 1974.

    EDIT: Wimbledon final of 1974 not 1934 which was when Rosewall was born.

    Appreciate that Mel Brooks has been raised on this thread previously but as he's still going at 99, perhaps, he does deserve another mention?

    Sorry.  Got them the wrong way round.  Andy was tough and uncompromising and known by the players behind his back as “Andy Hitler”.  Theo Foley the opposite.

    Not as old as some on this thread but surprised me that he wasn't older is former cricketer and more famously umpire David Constant. He is 83. Back in the day when most of the umps were seemingly senior citizens he was umpiring in tests from age 29!
