Maybe Atomic Kitten should reform for a sell out tour (Any local Village hall should do) Atomic Kitten have reformed, which makes this even more fucking confusing. Maybe someone should just suspend her FoxyBingo account?

Well at least his life insurance policy is sorted out. And he got a free fountain pen just for enquiring. I'm never going to top this post, may as well retire from the forum now.

Still, you would. I mean, both fuck and murder her.

Trying to work out which of the 1950s survivors would get obits. Obviously all of the English players, and both Bahr and Borghi played in the USA's 1-0 win over England. Ghiggia would be the oldest surviving World Cup winner (correct?), so he should be OK. Bonpietri is a top 100 player of all time imho, and Amadei is one of the top scorers in Serie A history so they should both manage it no problem. Most of the rest could depend on whether Jonathan Wilson has the time to write about them that week.

The 2010 players are all at the starting line, engine, although (insert Rob Green joke here). Triple O really providing for the culture with this thread, it's the kind of thing I can imagine I'm going to become increasingly obsessed with as more and more pass on. Pretty sure this research will be stolen for a filler blog article on some newspaper site soon.

David Paton's still alive and healthy: http://www.davidpaton.com/

We've had two hits in a day on the DL before, right? Veterans?

Hey Mikhail you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind.

This was the last picture taken of Borne while he was alive. Lookin' good! And get a load of who's standing next to him!

Time to repeatedly pester the Guardian's NFL correspondent with Jack Pardee questions?

Saddest day of the year for Bernie refuseniks like myself. Might have to pay some former provos to go round Sandy Jardine's place and speed the process up so I can get back on track.

Ryan Buell update: he's "in hospital" being "prodded and poked about", presumably less in a Carry On thermometer up the arse way and more in a "cancer-ridden parts of your body being hacked off" way.

I'm rather sorry, on a number of counts, to bring the news that Roberta Cowell is dead. Sadly for Funky Faz, especially so as it's his joker pick, she appears to have died as long ago as 2011 - http://forums.autosp...0 Weirdly enough I went to the Croydon Museum last November, and while Ms (nee Mr) Cowell features in some of the exhibits on local figures of note (alongside Captain Sensible), it didn't actually list her as being dead.

Not really. German Bob and Thelma?

Katona's been declared bankrupt again. Should probably have got herself a few payday loans to tide her over until the start of next month.

Another one for the 1994 list: Thompson Olihia, who played 65 minutes for Nigeria against Italy in their second round game, has died of malaria. He was also part of the Super Eagles' 1994 ACON-winning side.

Silvi Vrait, Estonia's first ever Eurovision entrant way back in 1994, has died of a brain tumour aged 62. She finished second last in, what looking at the entries, must have been the worst Eurovision ever.

Yeah, I'd assume so. I don't think he had massive heat with the company, it was just that he wasn't a kind of guy you could rely on due to his drug issues. Now he's dead, he can't no-show/collapse on camera. Weird to think that for all his fame, his entire WWF run was less than two years. As opposed to... http://www.lolwrestling.com/howlonghasjtgbeenemployed/

Matt Borne, aka Doink, has died aged 55. He had a load of drug problems in the 90s which curtailed his career in the main feds, but his legacy lives on in the endless people doing knockoff Doink gimmicks at local smalltown wrestling shows. Tears of a clown.

George Best managed an eight-week death rattle. Be a surprise if Nels' beats him.

Borgonovo was one of the greatest supporting actors in football history, as the sidekick to Baggio during his Fiorentina days. Shame Italy's frontline was so stacked at the turn of the 90s, he'd have definitely got more than three caps. We could do with him on the pitch tonight, tbh.

Stefano Borgonovo has lost his battle with ALS, aged 49. Only on Italian-language sites at the moment but, as Italy will be playing in black armbands this evening, there's no way there won't be an English-language obit by 9pm.

Apparently he's also nicknamed "Tata" in South Africa, if you want a tap-in obscure reference.
