Unfortunately Villa already played last night and don’t have any more games until 2021, so no chance of an obit coming up in a match report.

You can just say you want to pick Grace Victory.

Had you been trying to work out if music publicist Randy Alexander was famous enough for a QO? No need to worry now, as he's dead.

Twitter reporting the death of Martin Lambie-Nairn, creator of both the Channel 4 logo and the BBC 2 idents of the 90s. Also had the idea for Spitting Image.

Time for another one, so he should definitely be on your 2021 DDP tem.

Biggest death of an "active" wrestler since Misawa in 2009?

FM legend. Someone check in on Tonton Zola Moukoko.

Food critic for various broadsheets, and regular face on British cooking shows (Masterchef et al) Charles Campion is dead according to Twitter reports. DDP pick.

Willie Thomson, Scottish football fan in a hospice who would have been on some longlists if FFBI were still allowed, wouldn't have been an option regardless as he's dead aged 79.

Didn't realise the songwriter behind "Santa Baby", Philip Springer, is still alive. Aged 94 and one of the last Brill Building tunesmiths, surprisingly never picked on the DDP before.

Is this the same Diane Ladd who was told she had "six months to live" in 2018? She should definitely be on radars and if anyone needs a loose name to round their team up to 20, there's much worse picks.

Kathy Shaidle, poet/blogger/sex columnist/anti-Islamist shouty person, has stage-4 ovarian cancer and is now in palliative care.

*deleted pending fact check*

It was always a big rumour in Italy that they were more than wing partners.

Did consider starting a thread for Mortimer and Whitehouse, might well do if they make it to season 4.

Man with the world's largest collection of Smurfs (16,500) jailed for 16 years after raping child.

Anyone watching the arrers will have caught Diogo Portela talking post-match about his "nightmare year," complete with an attempted suicide at one point. Referred to Sporting Chance and I doubt he's the only singles sportsman who'll have been hit really hard by the mass cancellation of tournaments and events in 2020. Darts, snooker, golf, tennis, boxing... I'm willing to bet we'll see a few suicides from the lower-echelons of these sports within the next 12 months.

Extremely online Brexiteer/deranged Tweeter Nikki Stix died this morning after a long battle with cancer. Trending on Twitter as a result, will be interesting as a form guide to see if that translates to a QO anywhere.

She has fibromyalgia, I know that for sure.

We do have a Jackass thread:

The Oracle of Omaha

This Guardian from 1978 says the then junior tennis player Patrick Hughesman was her son. I would assume, being as it's not exactly a common name, the guy who now works for the LTA as a tennis tournament director is the same Patrick Hughesman. There's a picture of him here and that's clearly the same guy on this Facebook page. Where there's a comment 11 weeks ago that suggests he's recently lost someone close to him. Could that have been Joan?

Delivers a Christmas message to the people of Derry via video, not exactly looking the picture of health.

Responsible for one of the all-time great credits as well (apologies for the shitty "explaining the joke" caption, it was the only version of it I could find online in 10 seconds)
