Going Underground

I knew it was a dangerous sport.. but hell!!! Recently Iced: 20 March - Jaroslav Pitner, 83, Czech ice hockey coach. 21 March - Walt Poddubny, 49, Canadian ice hockey player (New York Rangers) 24 March - Igor Stelnov, 46, Russian ice hockey player (HC CSKA Moscow) 25 March - Gábor Ocskay, 33, Hungarian ice hockey player, heart attack

Remember a story me Dad used to tell me way back. Him and his mates were talking about David Wilkie down the pub one night and one bloke piped up with. "I hate that baldy-headed bastard". Incidentally, is big Dunc still with us? (goes off to check Wiki)

My mate submitted a DDP team years ago called "Picktons Pork Pies" I never understood this team name until today when I read Picktons Bio Seemed like a nice guy.

I would have loved to have seen 'Tesco Lifer ' Pat Bevan on the till.

wow. If there was ever a case to NOT link a qualifying DDP pick to a WIki entry then this is it.

Great work guys, amazing you got this all done in just over 2 weeks, That has to be a modern-day record. So my unique hope didn't make it. Daniel Hersl is my incarcerated pick this year. I am hoping to make it 4 in a row. 2021 - Peter "Wiseguy, brother of John" Gotti 2022 - Russell "Babes in the Woods Killer" Bishop 2023 - Ted "Unabomber" Kaczynski On the subject of Hersl. Try and give the crime drama mini-series "We Own This City" a watch. It tells the story of the rise and fall of the infamous Baltimore PD's GTTF (Gun Trace Task Force). Of which Hersl was a major player.

Ahh for gods sake. I made exactly the same mistake last year. Forgot to remove her from my possibles list. Ah well. Andy Taylor comes. He's an outsider at best

I was worried about my Maxwell pick but I saw Spade and Pan Breed has picked him too. A bit more confident now. Hersl hopefully is unique, but a QO is dodgy even if he does happen to cark it. Team Name Going Underground Craig Maxwell JOKER Derek Draper Rob Burrow Shannen Doherty James Whale Bruce Willis Steve McMichael Esther Rantzen Jonnie Irwin Simon Cowell Christina Strutt Frank Field Charlie Bird Janey Godley Joe Shannon Dave Myers Jason Smith Stuart Gray Theo Burrell Daniel Hersl

That is pretty formidable deadpooling. Best I've seen in my 18 years.

Crumble-Meister I am seriously impressed you managed to pick 58/60 unique. Torben Ulrich and Polly Perkins the only pair letting you down. In your honor, I may submit a cake & dessert-based theme team for next year. Perhaps called "I can't go back to savory now " After a very quick recon mission, the first on the list will be Tony "The Viper" Eccles. Darts player and convicted nonce.

Ann Clwyd I love it when one of the "Crumble" Teams gets a hit. Always makes me wanna go away an devour Crumble & Custard

Other than Frank McGarvey LOL

Looking at some of the DDP heavyweights picks, I don't think I've missed any massive open goals this year. One outside chance of a unique in Ken McGinley. Johnnie Irwin JOKER Simon Cowell (NOT the probably immortal square headed individual partly responsible for the death of music) Juan Carlos Unzue Steve McMichael Christina Strutt Ryuichi Sakamoto George Alagia Kate Keltie Ted Kaczynski Marlyne Barrett Faye Fantarrow Janey Godley Gianluca Vialli Johnny Ruffo Ken McGinley (Nuclear test veteran) Rob Burrow Michael Tilson Thomas James Whale Charlie Bird Andy Taylor

I imagine there were teams already submitted that included all of Pope, Babs Walters and Pele. If another of their low hanging fruit falls off the tree before midnight, I wonder if they will be give a 4th sub?

Ok, team "Going Underground" submitted for my 17th attempt at this ace game. About 16 hours earlier than usual this year. Now I sit and wait until around about this time tomorrow, when it becomes evidently clear I have yet again missed a Gary Burgess type open goal sitter. Thanks in advance for all the effort I know goes into running this thing.

Bloody Hell. Didn't realize Natty Wailer left us a few weeks ago. Although a minor part of Bob Marley's legacy I'm really surprised he didn't get some kind of UK obit. Ah well. Wouldn't be the same without one of my lads making the "List of the lost"

Bravo. You're the only DI I've ever had any time for. I sincerely hope David Duckenfield is afforded the same DDP coppers send off and I'm around to read it.

Surely it's Sidney Cooke's year too? Unless the old nonce is immortal.

ah fuck there goes Mike Mora too Hello Tony Jacklin

Ah well... so be it. Think I've got Merlin, the first dates barman guy as my first sub Although Amy Price mother was known to the public before she got "ill". Not opening a can of worms as the organizers have enough to deal with. It is what it is

Ok here we go for year 17 Seems like I've missed a sitter in Gary Burgess but who knows. Russell Bishop (JOKER) Convicted murderer Frank Field MP George Perez Artist Jane Marczewski Nightbirdie (singer) Mike Mora Photographer Ted Kaczynski Una Bomber Joe Exotic Nutter Amy Priice Proud Mother of Katie Tom Smith Rugby Rob Burrow Rugby League Bill Turnbull TV James Whale Radio Tim Keller US Pastor George Alagiah Newsreader Mike Bossy NHL Tom Weiskopf Golfer Charlie Bird Journalist Doddie Weir Rugby Union Nathaniel Ian Wynter AKA Natty Wailer Ronnie Atkins Pretty Maids Singer

After reading this list, I am 100% convinced Salmon Mousse IS John Daly

Trace was on Newsnight last night. Always strikes me as someone with the weight of the world on her shoulders and could flip anytime.

I only changed my avatar pic to Pete Gotti the other day. I feel strangely guilty.

If the Olympic games goes ahead in the summer we might be in luck and he gets a mention somewhere.
