June's been a bumper month for misses - 7 so far...

Michael Jackson died three years ago tonight...

Dead at 23. That is very sad news...

Ramaz Shengelia, the Georgian footballer who represented the Soviet Union in the 1982 World Cup, has died aged 55.

Shame to read about Caroline John. She was the first attempt at a companion that wasn't just a screaming girlie. She was married to Geoffrey Beevers, who was briefly the Master in 1981...

Will she get the Brit obit though?

I think a lot of the "guests" seem to post death notices in as many places as possible. Maybe restrict them to post only on the Dead of 201X thread and then in time the mods can shift them to their proper thread if need be...

Victor Spinetti could cover a few threads (Comedy, Beatles, Welsh, Gay D(e)ad...)

I hope I wasn't the only person here to watch their 1994 World Cup failure in a documentary later that year. For all of Panagoulias' achievements, all I can think of with him is calling Ivanov, the Bulgarian defender, "A Flat Footed Poof". Great viewing, especially as Greece got solidly worse in the competition. He's somewhat been overshadowed by "King" Otto's achievements a tad...

Well done.

It's another world out there. A netherworld of has-beens and never-will-bes...

"(ambulance) chase me!"

...and the Jambos inherit the earth...

When he said "Gordon...", I think most people were thinking he was going to say ...Banks"

What happened to that Japanese bloke in the 1980s, didn't he live till he was 120, or was that never verified/found to be a fake?

Great to see him on the cover of the NME recently. Typically, the music paper still cannot stop itself over-hyping, even if it's a 40 year old album: "Pop's greatest masterpiece". It's not even Bowie's best album! Kudos points to the NME if it follows up with a Roxy cover to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their epochal debut, released just days after Ziggy Stardust, probably not though...

All I wanna do is have some funerals...

Match Abandoned So, Red Dragons it is! Dai the Dragon?

Here are the lyrics. And here is 10 HOURS(!!!) of Trololo! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkfVdrtLcRs Life on vodka...

Let me guess, he was seen to be clutching at his chest rather dramatically...

Absolutely. Conveniently avoids the thorny execution issue...

Dead

A few years and a stewards' enquiry later... Great, now let's see him lose the title in devastating fashion to Cade....oh he has!

You do wonder whether he's been knobbled...
