    Suicide is an unnatural death and will get the bonus points in 2020-21. As will, to pick a completely ludicrous scenario, being stabbed to death in prison because you snitched on your own gang and refused witness protection.

    I have done exactly the same, for the same reason. After reading this post, as well. Doh.

    I've done this as a separate topic from the Time Added thread, because the Time Added thread is very catch-all, as a football thread will be. I can only go by the English Football League, as I don't have access to the Scottish records, but hopefully someone can copy and paste the Scottish only players for reference here. There are a number of people definitely alive and they come in the first set of information. Of those that I'm not certain of, there will definitely be some alive but there's no report recently on them to confirm that, or no general "oldest player" posts or snippets on the web. Barry Hugman's Footballers was the backup source for the list and basically it's been going through Google, BHF, UK and Ireland Family Records, Scottish Death Indexes and Probate searches to eliminate other possibilities. Some footballers I couldn't find death records for but when some clubs have gone "such and such is our oldest player" then it's made life easier. Here's the edited to include 1930-1932 births: First Name Surname DoB Clubs Google Other names Graham Bailey 22/03/1920 Huddersfield, Sheff Utd alive Thomas Graham Mike Kelly 30/11/1920 Crewe, Wolves x Michael John Eric Hampson 11/11/1921 Stoke, Stafford Rangers Australia?

    David Vincent of Morbid Angel took over from Lemmy in The Head Cat playing alongside Danny B.Harvey (Rockats) and Slim Jim Phantom (Stray Cats). Since the head part of the band name was from Motorhead, I suggested they change the name to Morbid Cat. They politely rejected the suggestion

    Dani Filth* (male singer of noughties rock band Cradle of Filth) once tried to pick a fight with (I forget who actually, but a much taller musician so lets call it Dave Grohl just for the sake of the anecdote). Filth is 5 foot 3, so "Grohl" was actually able to do the Scrappy Doo "hand on the smaller persons head to hold them back while they try to start a fight" bit for real. True story, honest. *Not to say he had a rep, but ask most music journos who'd met the band 15 years ago what they thought of him and they all said how lovely Sarah (the band's female singer) was instead!
