    Derby Dead Pool 2019

    They are, we're just getting the base of the site sorted out first. I've processed around 900 bios and DOBs in the past month, should have that completely done soon. SEO issue which I really should look at at some point. It's weird because you kinda don't want the DDP to be massively googleable, but it should be better than it currently is. Lemme think on it.

    I mean if she was from Wigan I'd argue for it. But she isn't.

    Academic Footnotes

    Paul Streeten, Boston University economics prof and DDP pick, died on January 6 without anyone noticing. No sign of a QO.

    I'm not submitting the award-winning piemaker in this round because I'm pretty sure it'd get rejected.

    8 divided by 5 isn't 1.3, though.

    "Yah Mo B There" has to be considered one of the 100 best songs of all time, imho.

    FIFA World Cup Players

    Egisto Pandolfini, played for Italy in the 50 and 54 editions, dead at 92. Also played in the 1948 Olympics if we're going to set up a separate thread for Olympic football tournaments.

    Has The Guardian cut funding for obituary writers? They've only published eight "fresh" obits in the past 10 days. Could be a big issue for those looking to score points off Graun-friendly figures (world musicians, trade union reps, etc).

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Alan Ladd came up a little short today in 1964.

    Life In Prison

    I wonder if that is the reporter confusing the date she died with the date a motion was raised to dismiss the trial. However, it's the only date we have, so unless other evidence comes forward.... it's a hit.

    Life In Prison

    It counts. But now we need to find out what year she died in.

    Stairway To Heaven/ Highway To Hell

    Rumour seems to have started with Lee's former bandmate Jan Schelhaas, who has since retracted it. My assumption is Kerslake is dead or very close to death and the family hasn't been informed yet.

    FIFA World Cup Players

    Ndaye Mulamba, first queued up as a possible one-to-watch by our illustrious threadstarter some 12 years ago, dead at 70. Played for Zaire in their notorious 1974 World Cup run, and was sent off after 22 minutes against Yugoslavia (the match they went on to lose 9-0).

    Co-signing that. He seems optimistic and if he's on a two-year course of immunotherapy they must assume he's going to last at least two years.

    Ranking Roger's "mini-stroke" last year was actually the sign of something much bigger: two brain tumours and lung cancer.

    African Leaders - Despots and Democratic

    Incoming DR Congo president Félix Tshisekedi cuts short his inauguration speech due to "medical issues": is seen choking and say "it's not OK...." before cameras cut off.

    The person who made the edit has never edited Wikipedia before, plus there's no change on the Spanish-language version. I'm gonna give this a thumbs down.

    The Dead of 2019

    Those who had pencilled in socialist theorist Erik Olin Wright, creator of the concept of Universal Basic Income, for their Deadpool Cup teams, bad luck: he's dead at 72.
