Btw, he wasn’t picked in March or an official February team but Jorge Oñate has died. The reason I bring him up was that he was on Perhaps’ cup team, who unless I missed somebody looks to have 20 unofficial cup points for this round. So even though he didn’t compete, he would’ve squonked that twat anyways. Btw, Annami would’ve gotten 18 points this time I believe. So unofficially they got the two best cup scores for this round. Kudos to both of them...

Alfred Stork dead. He died in October 2018 at 95.

If nobody else does, I'll update my December table when I have some spare time...

Greta Anderson (1927), 100m freestyle - gave interview last Summer to the IOC as the "oldest living Danish Olympian" Keshav Dutt (1925) - last survivor of Balbir Singhs hockey team - named as a survivor in Singhs obits last year Arne Ahman (1925) - triple jump - got a happy birthday from the Olympics lot a few weeks ago so presumably alive! Jackie Robinson (1927) - basketball team - appeared at the London Olympics, presumably the American media would cover a gold medalist since. Charles Coste (1924) - cycling, pursuit - still alive according to the various cycling stats websites of varying official statuses Mario Ghella (1929) - cycling sprint - same sources, but less firm evidence. Marie Kovarova (1927) - team gymnastics - has an address on Star Tiger to send current mail to, apparently? Gordy Giovanelli (1925) - coxed four - named oldest living Olympian rower in Vandernotte obits last year. Giuseppe Moioli (1927) - coxless four - video of him training from 2019. I did just add 1948 gold medalists to my long list, belatedely, a few days ago so with Cook gone, here's the ones that seemed to be alive - with my reasoning (which may be flawed on the cyclists).

I did look at the rest of the impressive list and it is often unfair to categorise actors by genre. I mean you list Patricia Routledge and link her with Keeping Up Appearances but she has been a member of the RSC and done many things like Hetty Winthrop

For completeness, Johnny Briggs dead. BBC obit. Three Carry on films – Carry On Up the Khyber, Carry On Behind and Carry On England. Quite a handsome lad in the 1960s.

The scoring system is quite .... intricate. Perhaps the admins could be persuaded to let Deathray back on condition that he continues to monitor this and any other deadpools he might start

In the same way that anyone half famous who dies but isn't on the list is a miss? Yes, of course.

Not sure how many 1948 Gold Medallists remain but the figure has gone down by one: Arthur Cook, 1948 Olympic Gold medallist in shooting (50m Rifle Prone) has died https://www.ssusa.org/articles/2021/2/26/legends-art-cook-1928-2021

Sad news as Johnny Briggs dies aged 85.

My Mother calls him Matt Hand on Cock.

Sad news loved it whenever it got one over boring Ken Barlow.RIP

Time for a deadpool for deadpools?

It's getting closer to the point where he comes out horizontally rather than vertically.

Current (now former) mayor of Zagreb Milan Bandic has died of a heart attack at 65. https://www.jutarnji.hr/vijesti/hrvatska/umro-je-milan-bandic-15054047

Former Notre Dame defensive tackle Louis Nix (wiki) found dead at 29. Reported missing several days ago. Car was discovered, mother believed he was distressed. Suicide likely.

I know some folk who would love to die by cock...

Or, as Jonathan Pie calls him, Matt Wanksock.

Man killed by his own cock - during a cockfight: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-56224144 The rooster had a knife tied up to it that actually stabbed the owner.

Oldest person in Greenland, first and only male centenarian in Greenland (and currently only centenarian in Greenland) Anton Geisler got to 102 a few days ago: https://avannaata.gl/Nyheder/2021/02/22_AnthonGeisler If he lives 154 days he'll be the oldest person in Greenland ever. Worked in his shop until June 2020.

Iain, is that you?

Reading his Wiki (I know) page, seems he had a bit of trouble similar to Pele in the marital department earlier in his life. But fair play judging by age of his daughter he managed to "get the train into Paddington station" sometime in his fifties....

Valerie Leon was in 6. Brian Osborne was in 5. Jacki Piper was in 4. Larry Dann was in 4.

Can Bollywood fans explain how this happened? (That's 67-year-old Amitabh, on his own son's back, playing a 12-year-old)
