There's a piece in the latest 442, marking 24 years since Euro 96, a sitdown interview with John Motson and Barry Davies about their career/rivalry. Davies seems mentally in great form, but these photos make him look a lot older than 82....

Would it have been kino?

Yeah.

The next few years of "eligible for RnR HoF" names (and presumably inductions) are going to be hell for us xennials in terms of making us feel old as fuck. Jay-Z is eligible this year. Eminem eligible next year. Missy Elliott in 2022. And then in 2023 Britney Spears, Coldplay and Queens of the Stone Age are all inductible.

Almost makes me feel bad for adding a fake fact to Arundell's Wikipedia page shortly after his death, which is still there a decade later and now gets mentioned half the time he's brought up online.

A catch-all thread I've been toying around with for a bit, for when you get stuck down a research hole and find someone of (minor) fame died a few years back with no mention on here, or indeed in the wider media. Anne Sellors, a Sheffield-based drama teacher who shot to viral internet fame due to her IMDB page containing one solitary credit - Woman Who Urinates on Herself in legendary TV movie Threads - died in 2015 aged 63. Also dying in 2015, this time at the age of 58, Labj Janjua. A journeyman singer for numerous Bollywood movies, a song he recorded for the 1997 film Legalised - "Mundian To Bach Ke" - was remixed by Panjabi MC and rereleased in 2002, going to #1 across the world (#2 in the UK) and selling over 10 million copies. And yet no mention outside of Indian-language entertainment press at the time of his passing.

The rumours are that his real father was Lars Anderson. His mother definitely had an affair with Anderson, it's just whether the dates match up 100% or not.

So can we talk about the rumours he wasn't really The Rock's dad now?

Rocky Johnson - the "Soul Man" and father (or maybe not, if you believe certain rumours) of The Rock - dead at 75. DDP pick and will have no issue with getting a QO.

Also Most Unique Picks 2020, who only have 15 unique picks (still only one team picking Ram John Holder though. Can we get him a DL call up if he makes it to 90?)

House sales of the celebs should be something we start looking at intently. Sono Osato and Bob Einstein both put their houses up for sale in mid 2018, and both were dead by the first week of 2019.

Steve Martin Caro, frontman of baroque pop behemoths The Left Banke, has walked away, sans Renee, aged 71.

I believe egg-chaser Tom Smith is the most popular joker this time out, 27 teams entrusting him with the captain's armband.
