This Christmas, he gave us his heart.

Here are some suggestions for tennis players who may die soon (due to advanced age): Bobbie Heine Miller: Born 04.12.1909, aged 104. Won the French doubles title in 1927 !!! Gardnar Mulloy: Born 22.11.1913, aged 100. Oldest living tennis HOF member. Dorothy Bundy Cheney: Born 01.09.1916, aged 97. Oldest living female Grand Slam singles champion. Thelma Coyne Long: Born 14.10.1918, aged 95. Welby Van Horn: Born 08.09.1920, aged 93. Pancho Segura: Born 20.06.1921, aged 92. Earl Cochell: Born 18.05.1922, aged 91. Only player barred for life by the US tennis association. Patricia Canning Todd: Born 22.07.1922, aged 91. Vic Seixas: Born 30.08.1923, aged 90. Oldest living male Grand Slam singles champion. Budge Patty: Born 11.02.1924, aged 90. I don't think any of these are really famous names, but most were grand slam champions so will get obits. The players we generally think of as 'old' are not that advanced in years by today's standards (Rosewall, Laver, Court, King etc. are all in their 70s).

I swore I would never post on this forum again other than on this day. There can be no other Dunn: he more than anyone has symbolised the DL for the last 26 years. Now that we know he is not immortal, we can nevertheless maintain that he will forever remain an iconic legend of DL history. CLIVE IS DUNN AT LAST. DUNN BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!!!

Certainly now that Bin Laden, Gaddafi and Kim Jong-Il have died, he has few if any living contenders for such an 'honour'.

A bit harsh on the guy driving the car that killed him to be wanted for causing death by dangerous driving. I mean who the hell expects/could avoid a sofa flying towards you in the middle of the road?

I think we all know he became Freddy Mercury. "Killer Queen", their breakthrough hit, was No 2 in the charts when Lucan disappeared. Nuff said.

LOL - everyone except Zsa Zsa has been picked by at least 2 people. Why do I get the impression she will have the last laugh again?

You put Eric Sykes twice.

1. Clive Dunn 2. Charlie Sheen 3. Pete Doherty 4. Paul Gascoigne 5. Lindsay Lohan 6. Ian Brady 7. George Michael 8. Michael Douglas 9. Bruce Forsyth 10. Larry Hagman 11. Geoffrey Hughes 12.

Fidel Castro 23. Ariel Sharon 24. General Wojciech Jaruzelski 25. Patrick Moore

Will Dereck Chisora and/or David Haye end up dead in a brawl or gunfight? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/17088619 One can only hope so...

Patrick Bateman did the best tribute to Whitney. Unfortunately I can't seem to post the youtube link here without embedding the video.

I wish that guy would decide on a single name for himself. I still know him as Puff Daddy....or Sean "Puffy" Combs..........or "that twat who cashed in on Biggie's death".

This post will do nothing for my reputation on these boards as an alleged "women hater", but....she has a face I'd never tire of slapping. Actually I'd say it's done rather a lot for that reputation.

Why is Oscar Niemeyer in the Bad People team? Is it because he refuses to die?

I'm not an Arsenal fan but I hope Aaron Ramsey keeps knocking in the goals One thing's for sure, if he ever scores a hat-trick we can be sure that Thatcher's death will be announced shortly afterwards

The Greatest Death of All?

Any opinions on the recent Branson/Bolt adverts for Virgin?

Will Madiba live to see his face on a South African note? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-16996809

As I understand it there is an unwritten rule that he will remain on the list until he dies....if he ever does.

If her mother lived to 102 that's got to be a concern for anyone betting on her death this year.

Oh boy, if she's still not dead when the Hell is he going to die?

Surely that's 3 bits? (caution - link is to BBC Sport website; sunglasses recommended) Er...that was the second bit.

2 good bits of news for Harry Redknapp in one day.

if its Nelson Mandela and not Mugabe i'll kill him... I believe it is Mugabe, and I believe this man is correct in his prophecy

And then there were none.
