David Prowse

David Prowse had an essential part in Star Wars, even if we never saw his face. Fans of the space opera franchise know that Prowse was the man inside Darth Vader’s spooky costume and was the masterful swordfighter that swished the villain’s lightsaber around so deftly. Prowse was incredibly tall and powerfully built, being perfect to play one of the most iconic bad guys in cinema history. He was also in films like Clockwork Orange and Doctor Who.

Diego Maradona

Football as a sport lost one of its biggest heroes when Diego Maradona passed away, as did Argentinians lose one of their most beloved icons. Maradona was a soccer player that received the title after an incredible stunt at the World Cup of 1986 with a goal that resulted in him being said to possess the “Hand of God”. Maradona is largely considered to be the best player in the sport by professionals and fans alike. In November 2020, Maradona passed away from a heart attack.
