Gene Hackman will almost definitely be featuring on my 2025 shadow list should he see out the remainder of this year.

Thank you! I choose Boris Volynov then please

@Lafaucheuse am I allowed to participate - I'm sorry to ask but I haven't featured in any of the other previous rounds and didn't want to intrude if I am too late

Former US Vice President Al Gore is 76 today as is American actress Rhea Perlman. Apologies but I haven't got any way of uploading images.

Seriously, this is getting beyond a joke now

Joan Morecambe a hit for @Summer in Transylvania I believe

Please also pass on my deepest and sincerest condolences to your son @livingbygrace. I do genuinely believe that prayer can move mountains as I have had prayers answered. Not always the way I have wanted or even straight away but the power of prayer as helped me through some very difficult circumstances.

Please accept my sincerest and deepest condolences @Gisooo

Thomas P. Stafford hit number 5 for me following on from the deaths of Glynis John's, Derek Draper, Franz Beckenbauer and Iris Apfel

Please accept my sincerest condolences @La Tombe

I believe it's congrats to @tracy following the death of Ramona Fradon

Ian Lavender also a big name death

Brehme also scored the deflected free kick against England to put West Germany 1-0 up in the semi final

Andy Crosby gets the sack!!!

As a Port Vale fan it's definitely time for manager Andy Crosby to go. Head of recruitment David Flitcroft can follow him out of the door also. The way Port Vale is being run at the moment is embarrassing. Owner Carol Shanahan said that the club when promoted via the League 2 play-offs two years ago needed to be "Championship Ready". I question that we are even "National League Ready". Lost 3-0 away at Fleetwood Town today who were sitting bottom of the League 1 table. Vale are now in a relegation dogfight for certain. With hardly any strikers and appalling recruitment in the January transfer window Port Vale are doomed to life in the basement league of the EFL pyramid.

Congrats @DoorSlammer

Like @drol said in the Englebert Humperdinck thread, 2024 the year famous/ high profile people don't seem to be dying. Well hopefully by me posting this here jinxes everything and we start to see high prolific names keeling over. I must admit I am totally shocked at the slim to anorexic pickings myself and my fellow dead poolers are getting.

Glad to hear all is now well @Great Uncle Bulgaria

May I be the first to wish you congrats then @Banana

Of course it is very possible that he could live well into his 100's and even become a supercentenarian but as so often happens it only takes a fall or flu/chest infections at DVD's age and could be a goner in a heartbeat. In March 2017 my grandfather had what appeared to be a common cold and was still relatively active. Within 2 weeks he passed away with pneumonia at the age of 79.

Please accept my sincerest condolences @The Immortal

@RIP Wee Jum your list is in need of an update

@Gooseberry Crumble I love your winning formula and I will always support your positive enema vibes. Certainly compared to these pathetic amateur wannabes James the murderfox @Manda the Dragon

Please accept my sincerest condolences @drol

Please check - he has his own thread as this has already been mentioned there
