Giovannini appears to have died off radar back in February 2005 in the States. EUFootball is the source but FamilySearch and Ancestry tend to confirm it. Perfect matching record here. Died in New Fairfield, Connecticut aged 80. Means that Boniperti was the last living Italian player from FIFA 1950 before his death last month.

A year tomorrow since I posted this. 11 dead, 11 still living. Here's the new list of everyone aged 100+ with more than 10 Wiki articles. 25 names (as opposed to 22 last year). 12 out of 14 of the new names became centenarians in the last year. Marsha Hunt (57) Edmond H. Fischer (43) James Lovelock (42) Aaron T. Beck (29) Boris Pahor (29) Agnes Keleti (27) C. R. Rao (26) Edgar Morin (24) Muazzez Ilmiye Cig (23) Pierre Soulages (22) Ben Ferencz (20) Amadou-Mahtar M'Bow (20) Brenda Milner (20) Nehemiah Persoff (20) Hans Albert (18) Josip Manolic (17) Mustafa Ben Halim (16) Kenneth McAlpine (15) Rene de Obaldia (14) Hilda Bernard (13) Carmen Herrera (13) Hossein Wahid Khorasani (13) Lotfollah Safi Golpaygani (11) Gail Halvorsen (11) Kim Yong-ju (11)

Please let's not start posting things in threads according to people's "descent". Where will that end? If Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson died, you could spread it across threads on Turkey, Russia, Germany, France, the U.S. as well as monarchy, Islam and Judaism given his descent. But you just wouldn't.

The Singles Chart isn’t the best measure of how popular a band is in the UK. Led Zeppelin never had any charting singles in their hey day but they’re ofc huge in the UK.

Kurt Clemens (wiki) dead at 95. Three Saarland players remaining.

*Adam Johnson. Johnson is fine.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I think his big mountain of cash and his missus who is sticking with him and denying the accusations will see him through it just fine.

Thanks. Updated the Who's Who list I posted in Feb. Also scored off Dannatt, Lam, Christensen, Gutfreund and Wallace who have also died.

He's dead. The oldest living Finnish man was born in 1914 (and the oldest living Finnish woman was born in 1912)...

Mustafa ben Halim again please

Crossposting Molina dead at 93. Unpicked.

Arturo Armando Molina (wiki), President of El Salvador (1972–1977), dead at 93.

Updated for the death of Steinhardt.

The wording on his Wiki page doesn't make it clear but I believe I'm correct in saying he was the last surviving pilot from the operation. Johnny Johnson survives and he was an air gunner. News to me that there were any surviving pilots though.

Marsha Hunt (b. 1917) now the oldest living actor/actress?

Harry M. Rosenfeld, an editor at The Washington Post during the Watergate coverage, dead at 91 from COVID-19 complications.

Updated for the death of Tom O'Connor. Also just uncovered the deaths of Johnnie Wager in 2019, aged 89 and of Jackie Carlton in 1995, aged 72 (using a newspaper archive). Also added a rough year of birth for Lenny Windsor based on the fact that he was 71 in October 2017 when he was still touring Vegas circuits. I reckon out of the 34 names who are not marked deceased, another 5-10 will be dead already. Still quite a few of them about though.

Isn’t there a thread for this? I think there are loads of survivors still left but maybe time for an update.

David McCallum is a relative of mine. I shall pass on your regards.

BAFTA-nominated British director Desmond Davis (wiki), best known for Clash of the Titans, supposedly died on 3rd July aged 95. Surely a QO guaranteed once it’s picked up.

British producer Norman Spencer is 107 next month. Unpicked in the DDP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Spencer_(producer)

Hollywood Reporter obit. They read this forum clearly.

At least she’ll get a good rodgering from Andy Fordham as she ascends on the golden escalator.

I'll take folk posting "RIP" any day over your tedious chronic whinging, referring to yourself in the third person, and the fact you sign off every fucking post with "SC" despite having a username visible.
