    Dying Off The Radar

    Gilbert Harrison, a theatre manager who also had bit part roles in a couple of Brian Rix movies, died aged 72 in 2002. However, the reason people on the internet have trying to discover him for years is because he was the model on the cover Championship Manager 93.

    How about a new video of my personal long-time "how the fuck is this turn-of-the-90s wrestler still alive" pick The Warlord?
  3. I do feel sorry for any rugby or American football fans who browse these forums, as their death threads have now been turned into diego google translating back and forth every single obituary for every single person tangentially related to the sport from the Wikipedia's "Deaths in 2023" page.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2024

    Back in hospital, although his daughter says it isn't "life-threatening". Hopes to be out of hospital in time for a card in November.

    Dementia afflicted footballers

    Seems like his dementia is very advanced if he remembers the US giving Italy a "mighty scare" at the 1990 WC, being as Giuseppe Giannini scored within the first 15 minutes and the rest of the match saw the Azzurri miss the barn door with endless shots (including a missed penalty) against what was effectively an amateur team.

    Shame, he seemed like he was guaranteed to be the man to break the record for "Most Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards for Worst Wrestling Match of the Year", but he'll now remain forever on four (tied with Hogan).

    https://streamable.com/xwwlet?src=player-page-share Weirdly it's very hard to find Terry Funk telling Todd Pettingill "YOUR MOTHER'S A WHORE" online, so I clipped it for you.

    Terry Funk puts me up to two in this inevitable procession to a Banana victory.

    A very, very final way to make sure he actually stays retired.

    Yevgeny Prigozhin

    Lucky for (some) deadpoolers that he died in the same year he fell out with Putin. Could have foreseen a lot of casual DDP teams going with him as a joker while the "cognoscenti" among us ignored him, would have been a massive swing in rankings and could easily have created an unfancied winner out of nowhere.

    59 days apparently.

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    Any idea when the last time Reuters had to withdraw a death story was before this? Don't think they ever fell for one of Tomasso Debenedetti's hoaxes... did they ever jump the gun on a John Singleton or Tom Sizemore?

    Cricket Thread. Only Mad Dogs And Englishmen

    Crazy to think how much the role of the goalkeeper has changed over the years. Nowadays they're expected to play it out from the back with their feet, but in the good ol' days they just had to save the ball, git rid and play cricket.

    What are you drinking?

    Best cocktail bar I've ever been to was Lucy's Flower Shop in Stockholm. The rye and apple with malt vinegar was truly godly:

    Dementia afflicted footballers

    Article here about a "memory club" for ex-Rotherham players with dementia. Lists Dave Watson and Trevor Womble from the OP but nobody new, although it says that similar schemes have been or are being launched at QPR, Chesterfield, Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest, so could be a chance to grab names there.

    Must have been an eye-opening experience for her.

    Was listening to an interview with him just now, and I quote "I don't know how much time I have left, it could be five years, it could be as much as 10." So it doesn't look like he's anticipating a Michael J. Fox decades-long decay.

    Time Added

    Major influence on Guardiola so I'm sure he'll have some words on the great man's passing after City's game tonight. De Zerbi already paid tribute after Brighton's win earlier on so he went straight to QO territory.

    We've got a photo from last November at the annual meeting of the Max Miller Appreciation Society. Bonus Jimmy Cricket for formspotters as well.

    Missing In Action

    Swedish musician Camela Leierth has been missing since June. Media hooking the story on the fact she wrote "Walking On Air" for Katy Perry, but she was also a performer in her own right and worked frequently with the band Kent.

    Good to find that mid-00s UKHH rapper Micall Parknsun is still alive, and even found time to pay tribute to his namesake on X (formerly known as Twitter).

    Michael Parkinson

    Michael Parkinson, Cilla Black, Frank Windsor, June Whitfield... we're definitely running out of "you're old like me, get life insurance before you die" pluggers. Who's left, Annette Crosbie?
