Thanks YW, updated. There's 6 Derek Elsons that could be him in the GRO. Most likely one is a Derek Elson b. 1942 in Thanet, Kent (as the band were from Gravesend, Kent). In saying that, whilst researching the others I noticed they were all born in different parts of the country, so could mean nothing for all we know!

Different sport. This thread is for association football (soccer) players.

Should note that “trans-evangelist” Sister Paula Neilsen, who appeared on the Clive James Show, is still alive. 82 this year. Clip above is from 2012. Has since suffered a huge stroke I believe.

You’re 50 shades of retard, aren’t you?

Yup. Partly because you can locate and isolate it quickly as it’s easier to access and operate on than many internal organs. Also because breast cancer research is heavily funded compared to many other types. It was a big killer 20 years ago, not so much now. Arguably the likes of Dusty Springfield and Linda McCartney would’ve lived today.

And that is the reason why we’ve had many of the same octo/nonagenarians on the list for years!! ”Oh they’re old”, “oh they’re too big to miss”. Doesn’t mean they’re going to die!

Updated DBM. Tried to locate those three from CHA on Ancestry/ClustrMaps to no avail. Too many ppl with similar names. This is probably Anderson but I'd need a spouse name or a rough age from elsewhere to be sure. Keno Speller is Kenneth Speller. I've tried. There's a residency record for one, with no DOB attached.

Still in pretty decent shape is he not?

Updated Boyd Bennett and his Rockets, changing Big Moe from "no info available" to a full DOB and DOD. Problem was his surname is given as "Muzey" everywhere online. It was actually Mauzey. Newspaper obit here. Full details from Ancestry here.

Updated entry for The Archies as Ron Frangipane, who played keyboards on Sugar, Sugar died in April from pneumonia caused by COVID-19.

I've tried to hunt down some details on these four on Ancestry or the GRO. I found nothing as the surnames are too common. Beatrice Neild (or Nield) is most likely deceased. From the one or two pics that do exist of her, I'd put her DOB somewhere around 1900–1910. Maureen O'Reilly – can't find a pic at all of her but possibly deceased given the age of the character she played at the time. Moore and Williams are probably alive, but long given up acting and faded into obscurity!
