Happy 80th Birthday, Tina Turner! “I look great. I feel good. I have gone through some very serious sicknesses that I am overcoming. It’s like having a second chance at life." Seems like she is very positive and optimistic about her age, health and life. She's simply the best!!! https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/music-legend-tina-turner-shares-20960167

For those of you who haven't visited the site in the past 24 hours, the first sign of the changeover has taken place.

George 'Johnny' Johnson is 98 today.

It's astonishing he's still alive. He looked elderly on the 1979 BBC General Election programme over 40 years ago!

How come Frankie Fraser's never on the TV any more? He was never off the bloody thing in the late 90s. Is there some, like, Sky 3 or Bravo documentary series he hosts now, or is he just dying in a home alone and unloved somewhere? People who I crossed off my DDP team for this year at the last minute: "cancer stricken" Glaswegian crimelord Jamie Daniel, because I have absolutely no idea about Scottish crime whatsoever and for all I know these guys could just be having a laugh and a carry on with bored local crime reporters. Most of the current capi of the American Mafia are in their 70s and unlikely to be shot any time soon. On the other hand, Venero "Benny Eggs" Mangano turns 90 this year, having spent 15 of the past 18 years in prison for his part in an extortion racket that saw the Mafia make $2 for every window replaced in New York for five years.

Used to think I was quite widely read/worldly-wise but confess I've never heard of any of the people you've remembered on this page (or indeed most people on previous pages for that matter). 'Allo allo cast members on the other hand I could recite straight off in their entirety..

Yep. One of the more painful experiences of my life. Googled and, yes, there's an article here: Switzerland 0 - Ukraine 0: Remembering the Worst Game In World Cup History

Why not the Lady Pamela Hicks (watching The Crown right now, ughh)? Earlier this year, she had forgotten which bank stored her jewellery: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a26428767/india-hicks-lady-pamela-hicks-lost-jewelry-bank/ And if you read her daughter's latest instagram-...gram, you know that the Lady's 90-year old memory needs to be trained.... dementia?

And with that our first two names have crossed the 2019 crowdsource minimum point score to enter the list...

Agnes Kluckhenn dead at 110.

Peregrine Worsthorne will be 96 on 22 December. He was a journalist & national newspaper editor in his time & is married to Lucinda Lambton who used to be a prolific broadcaster.

Mail carves a QO for Don "Nick" Clifford: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/ap/article-7724671/Last-living-Mount-Rushmore-construction-worker-dies-98.html Also, seems Gustav Gerneth still needs to be added to List of the Lost?

Don't even know if this could be classed as a sport https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JH7lcGad_c

Another 10 off the list (all of those that were dubious if they were alive anyway), with the 2nd oldest player on the list now definitely gone. Sammy Nelson has only just gone, just shy of his 95th birthday. Poor old Frank Wood, far from being 95, died in his very early 50's. Joe McCormack 15/07/1916 Scunthorpe, Boston, Rochdale, Bolton 1981 Ron James 16/03/1922 Birmingham, Wolves, Northampton 2017 David Reid 03/01/1923 Crewe, Workington, Bradford PA, Rochdale, Glasgow Perthshire 16/02/1988 James Clarke 07/12/1923 Nottingham Forest, Darlaston 12/12/2014 Sammy Nelson 26/05/1924 Blackpool, Luton, Linfield Swifts 15/04/2019 Frank Wood 17/08/1924 Bury, Exeter, Shrewsbury 1976 Fred Martin 14/04/1925 Accrington, Blackburn 2017 Ernie Woodcock 14/05/1925 Bury, Oldham 2018 Albert Wright 21/07/1925 Lincoln, Ollerton Colliery 2008 Billy Dale 26/10/1925 Crewe, Accrington, Southport, Halifax 26/11/2011

America's oldest man, CP Crawford of Chicago, dead at 112. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/11/25/20982023/cp-crawford-oldest-u-s-resident-dies-112-obituary

Right, another list is in and now nobody has appeared on every single list. I should also note that at this time it is still technically possible to qualify onto the list with 50 points, although one or two more entrants will probably change that. Exciting, I know...

Epstein's theory of Relativity... "She looks relatively young"

I remember him best from Southampton's mid-90s back four.
