He was an inspiration for me, no style at all, very ugly to see and he seldom stopped the ball but he was very effective

Lucile Randon has reached the age of 118.5.

Italian goalkeeper Claudio Garella dead at 67. Pretty decent career playing for Sampdoria and then a very successful time at Verona when they won their one and only Scudetto in 1984/85 before moving to Maradona's Napoli winning the domestic double in 1986/87 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudio_Garella

I understand what she did was horrible, but it's just hard for me to hate her because I was always a fan of her so I'm so conflicted. Prayers to everyone involved in this tragedy.

Pete Sampras, the extraordinary and talented American tennis player who won 64 titles in singles, including seven Wimbledon titles and five US Open championships, is 51 today. George Soros, Hungarian-born American political activist, author, businessman with a net worth of over $8 billion, financial speculator, financier, investor and philanthropist, is 92 today.

Apparently it’s for, well, I can’t even be surprised anymore:

What I wouldn't give for Gordon Brown to be Prime Minister right now. An intellectual heavyweight who knows what he's talking about. Something that's been missing ever since he lost to Call Me Dave.

Please don't leave us, @YoungWillz. I'm going to miss your poor musical taste on the Cup.

Moshe Meron (b. 1926, wiki) is one to add to your list of Israeli politicians.

She seemed like a very troubled woman. For better or worse, her suffering is about to end. RIP

Triste, le dessinateur Sempé est mort ! 8e point de l'année

You've not been paying attention. When someone on here claims points for a death, it's all about them. When someone posts their hits on their Shadow List, it's all about them. When someone on here reviews their DDP standings, it's all about them. When someone moans about the ability of the Committee to miss the obvious picks they would have picked, it's all about them. When someone has to troll another member while contributing nothing to the site, it's all about them. When someone has a disaster on the Inverse pool, it's all about them. And in your case, the only way to get an erection is to criticise others and get your post count up. Fortunately, I don't have long to listen to much more of the shite on here. Good day sir.
