Alain Delon - noted actor died at 88. A very good looking man he graced the French film industry for many years often alongside Jean Paul Belmondo. Best films were Rocco and his brothers, Borsalino and Plein Soleil. He did several Hollywood productions too. (Airport and Texas across the river, Red Sun) but preferred to star in French movies. Delon had connections with real gangsters and his wife was linked to a series of high placed sex scandals but this only enhanced his fame.
Yes he was holed up in a church in Hulme for maybe 2 years claiming sanctuary. The police raided the church and he was deported to Sri Lanka but he ended up marrying a British women so he could stay in Europe and they settled in Germamy.Was he the bloke who was being deported around the early '80's ?

Around the same time, Lanky had an opening batsman with the same name.
