Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 Larry Siegfried (1963-70)
Boston Celtics jersey history No. 20 Larry Siegfried (1963-70) The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the first of 31 people to wear the No. 20 jersey, Boston guard alum Larry Siegfried. After ending his college career at Ohio State, Siegfried was picked up with the third overall selection of the 1961 NBA draft by the (then) Cincinnati Royals (now, Sacramento Kings). The Shelby, Ohio native sat out until he signed with Boston in 1963, however, and played the first seven seasons of his pro career with the team, ending when he was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1970 expansion draft held to populate their roster. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Siegfried wore only jersey No. 20 and put up 11.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Wind-up radio demand surges after Spain blackout hits phones and internet

When the power went out across large parts of Spain this week with no warning, one thing people kept repeating online was: 'I wish I'd had a wind-up radio.' No Wi-Fi, no mobile signal, and no idea what was going on – it was a stark reminder of how fast everyday systems can fall apart. Just this week, the cyber attack on high street chain M&S demonstrated how big organisations can be affected by sudden outages. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad For many affected in Spain, the most unsettling part wasn't just the loss of electricity but the sudden silence that followed – no internet, no phone signal, no news. People were left in the dark, quite literally, unsure whether it was a local fault or something far more serious. A wind-up radio on Amazon costs as little as £25. We've found one for £41 that includes a USB charger and a powerful integrated light – making it ideal for blackouts, storms or anywhere you might lose power. You can buy it here. Daniel Clegg, who lives in Barcelona, told the BBC: 'The complete loss of communication was the most confusing and concerning thing… we were only left to speculate as to the cause and piece together news from people in the neighbourhood.' He admitted the experience was so disorienting he found himself scanning the skies to check if planes were still flying. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Elsewhere, near Madrid, Siegfried and Christine Buschschlüter managed to tune in to local radio stations thanks to an old wind-up set they had stored away. With their phones down and power off, it became their only source of information. 'You had to keep on winding and winding,' said Christine, 82. 'It was quite a strange situation. I was born in Berlin during the war and it reminded me of those days when my parents tried to get some news – it took me back.' The couple believe more people will now look to get hold of battery-powered radios, just in case. And Daniel agrees it's something he'll be investing in soon: 'Essential kit for back-to-basics communication and staying informed that I completely neglected to remember.' With the UK now facing growing concerns about resilience, including a fire at Heathrow, a cyber attack on Marks & Spencer, and official guidance recommending every household have emergency supplies for at least 72 hours – sales of emergency radios have started to rise here too. One of the most popular choices right now is the Rychi wind-up and solar-powered emergency radio, available on Amazon for £41.99. It combines an AM/FM weather radio, a hand-crank and solar charging system, a built-in 8000mAh power bank with dual USB outputs, a three-mode flashlight, SOS alarm, a reading lamp and a compass. It's compact, lightweight, and designed specifically for outdoor use and emergencies. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad You can find the Rychi radio with Prime delivery in green or orange.

It features solar and crank charging, dual digital displays, a thermometer, humidity gauge and multiple tuning modes. It's more expensive at £94, but ideal for serious emergency preparedness or those in remote areas.

Late magic legends Siegfried & Roy's Vegas palace is DEMOLISHED after being left to rot just years after their deaths
LATE magic legends Siegfried & Roy's Las Vegas palace has been demolished after being left to rot just four and five years after each died. The iconic Jungle Palace fell into disrepair after homeless squatters moved in, leaving rubbish scattered across the estate. 8 Siegfried & Roy lived in a mansion in Las Vegas known as Jungle Palace Credit: The Mega Agency 8 Late magic legends Siegfried & Roy's Vegas palace is demolished Credit: YouTube/ Las Vegas Live Stream mit René 8 The property was extravagantly decorated with bold furnishings Credit: The Mega Agency 8 The property also had three pools and a jacuzzi - where Roy used to swim with the big cats Credit: The Mega Agency 8 Siegfried & Roy in their private apartment at the Mirage Hotel on the Vegas Strip, along with one of their performing white lions Credit: Alamy 8 Video shows the demolition Credit: YouTube/ Las Vegas Live Stream mit René Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn's estate was once full of life with extravagant decor and big cats roaming the grounds. But it has sadly been demolished after being abandoned following the duo's deaths. A tour organizer who knew the couple well, René Meinert, said: 'It hurts like hell to have to watch these historic houses being simply demolished." The impressive property was built in the 1954 and featured a number of animal enclosures, as well as a bird sanctuary. The 8,750-square-foot estate included a main house, three guest houses, two detached studios, three swimming pools and a jacuzzi. The main house had two bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as its own jacuzzi and a pool. The premises also included its very own casita and a cabana. The magicians moved into the lavish estate in 1982 to give their beloved lions and tigers a place to roam free. Roy even allowed the big cats to sleep in his bed and would often swim with them in the pool. The couple decorated their home with priceless Persian rugs, crystal candle holders, baroque carved furnishings, a clock owned by Napoleon, gold candelabras and a jewel-encrusted sword thought to have belonged to Genghis Khan. Siegfried and Roy perform on stage for the final time The estate was sold for $1.87 million in 2022 after Siegfried died from pancreatic cancer. Roy Horn died a year prior after suffering complications from Covid. A year later it changed hands again and was sold for $3million to Carden International Circus owners, Brett and George Carden. The Carden's planned to turn the property into a tourist attraction and had a grand vision for an "entertainment venue and museum". But sadly these plans never came to light and the estate fell into disrepair. Homeless squatters began living in the property, leaving rubbish scattered across the grounds. Photos from inside the grounds show prescription drugs, shopping carts, beer bottles and food remnants on the abandoned floors. Disused clothing, rough sleeping arrangements and tattered furnishings can also be seen. Who were Siegfried and Roy? Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn were German-American entertainers who performed an animal-based magic show together as Siegfried & Roy. Siegfried was the magician and Roy was the animal trainer. The pair met in 1959 while working on a cruise ship and soon began performing together on ships and in European clubs and theatres. In 1967 they began performing in Las Vegas - headlining a show at the iconic venue The Mirage. Their acts featured exotic animals including white lions and white tigers. But after 5,750 performances their performing career came to an end in 2003 when Roy was injured by a tiger during a show. The couple were thought to be romantically involved, living together at Jungle Palace, a Moroccan-themed 8-acre estate in the Las Vegas area. Siegfried died in January 2021 and Roy died in May 2020. The pair was also known as Masters of the Impossible. Siegfried & Roy were a pair of German magicians best known for their illusions and acts with tigers. The duo first met while working on a cruise ship in 1957. Roy felt underwhelmed by Siegfried's magic tricks and decided to smuggle a cheetah onboard before their next voyage. The pair went on tour and performed at clubs and theatres around Europe. The entertainers made their Las Vegas debut in 1967 and became a headline act at the iconic venue The Mirage. Roy was famously attacked by a white tiger named Mantecore during performance at the Mirage Las Vegas in 2003 - leaving him partially paralyzed. This marked the pair's 5,750th performance. It wasn't until March 1, 2009 that they reappeared on stage for a benefit show. 8 Siegfried & Roy at their home in July 1983 Credit: Getty
