    Anyone noticed the weird spate of "superfan" deaths in the past few days? We've lost:

    Bristol City "superfan" Stoney Garnett: https://www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/tributes-paid-to-city-superfan-stoney-garnett/

    Arsenal "superfan" Maria Petri: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/07/legendary-arsenal-fan-maria-petri-dies-at-82/

    Liverpool "superfan" Eric Farrington: https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/pensioner-meets-hero-attends-final-24568269

    Aston Villa "superfan" Tony Badges: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/death-aston-villa-superfan-tony-24571443


    And I feel like there was one other that's not coming to mind immediately. Anyone checked in on John Portsmouth Football Club Westwood? 

     

    Wolves ‘superfan’ Cath also died a couple of weeks ago:

    Here's some info about my DDP pick Jonny Nilsson, a Swedish 1964 ice skating olympic gold medalist. He was born in 1943 and was a candidate for the 2009 European Parliament election in Sweden.

     

    Excerpts from an article from 30 Nov 2017 (with my own sloppy translation):

     

    *The skating world champion has incurable cancer

    *The prostate cancer was discovered too late and has spread to the bone

    *Jonny Nilsson, 74, doesn't regret not taking a PSA-test earlier

    *Was a top athlete in the 1960s, and won a World Cup gold, a World Cup bronze and an Olympic gold in ice skating. He set 5 world records and was pronounced the best Nordic athlete in 1964

    *Discovered in the summer of 2017 that he had several tumours on his back bone, and metastasis in the skull bone and in one of his hips

    *His PSA-value was 1000

    *Treatments include castrate medicine & estrogen

    *His disease described by the article as "deadly"

     

    Jonny Nilsson dead.

     

    A hit in a couple of pools I believe.

    Kyrgyzstan, 18.06.2022 around 00:55

     

    The special services of Kyrgyzstan announced that ex-banker Bakyt Asanbaev hanged himself in the cell of the pre-trial detention center of the State Committee for National Security in Bishkek.  He was arrested in April in a corruption case.  The cellmates, according to the secret services, were busy praying at 12 o'clock at night and could not stop the banker.  Asanbaev's relatives do not believe in the version of the special services.

     

    Bakyt Asanbaev was supposed to leave the pre-trial detention center of the State Committee for National Security on the coming Monday. This was announced by his relative Talant Asanbaev.

     

     

    Why do you have to include such an overwhelming amount of information in all of your posts? I can guarantee the majority of users don't give it a time of day.

     

    If people want to know the details, they'll click the link included in your posts. No need to go all TLDR.

    Edit: Pretty sure that the oldest RATN now is Józef Walaszczyk (wiki), also aged 101. He's commonly referred to as the "Polish Schindler".

    @arghton, if ever you get bored and need a good topic for a list, this would be it.

     

    Józef Walaszczyk dead.
