Good article about Archibald Leitch.

80 years ago today the great stadium designer slipped off to the great drawing board in the sky. Nice article about his (disappearing) legacy.

Not particularly interesting or related fact, but Archibald Leach was the actor Cary Grant's real name. This is why John Cleese's character in A Fish Called Wanda was called Archie Leach - he figured it would be his one chance in life to play a Cary Grant-like character.

I'm here all week.

Agreed. I only opened this thread because I thought it was about Cary Grant.

I think his work is sublime. Would love to see a modern stadium include aspects of his style.
