Octopus of Odstock

If he obits. Cavanagh and Shannon didn't (as of yet) despite being well-known in Ireland. Gormley, however is Northern Irish, the other two were Southern Irish and that could make the difference. Mind you, seems worth the risk.

Albert Uytenboogaart, who was Charltons oldest living player died recently. https://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/98799/oldest-living-addicks There is also a Facebook post from a South African football history society.

Sadly, to counter Anderton, John Thomson of Hearts and Workington is dead. died in May last year. https://www.morganfuneral.com/memorials/john-thomson/5189473/ Surprisingly, nothing in his obituary about being a professional footballer, but given the date of birth and middle name, it's the same man.

Meanwhile, definitely alive and featured on BBC News (for something else altogether) - Sylvan Anderton, ex-Reading and Chelsea - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqjl54jddddo Recent picture of him too.

Laurie Adams Wiki is being shown as having died on this website Watford's where are they now?. As they are pretty thorough and specialist, I'm inclined to believe one of the family would've contacted them direct. I can't find an obit notice but maybe someone can.

Willie Sinclair Wiki, former Falkirk, Halifax, Huddersfield, Tranmere and Stirling winger, died last year. Initially, I thought he was still in Australia (due to the Wiki profile), but this article - from the Dundee Sunday Post confirmed he was now living in Fife (as of 2017) Scotland's People has this entry. Right age, right middle name and Dunfermline is in Fife. Bingo. SINCLAIR WILLIAM MEARNS 89 WRIGHT M 2023 433 / 451 Dunfermline

This article explains it in much more detail: https://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/24597923.former-scotland-rugby-cap-ken-macaulay-cycle-challenge/ In short, played for a Scotland XV versus a French Select team in 1980. It wasn't recognised as a cap at the time, but earlier this year he was awarded a retrospective cap as presumably World or Scottish rugby recognised it as a cap-winning game.

Full and normal schedule for 2025 according to the BBC for overseas trips. To commit to that, with cancer treatment, as well seems largely positive prognosis for the King

Doubt it, Sean Astin would've posted something on Instagram by now. It wouldn't make any sense for him to keep quiet and wait.

Twas tending the garden today and it's a fair bit of effort. Not that I was anywhere near carking it, but it's quite hard physical work - depending on the size of your garden, of course, and how often you tend it. If it's this big, then it's less physical exertion and of course, people in flats do not have gardens, so their exertion comes via stairs perhaps, but never mind all this babble... it got me to thinking, how many famous people have died in the garden, either by accident or otherwise? Then it got me thinking... the Deathlist does not have a Gardeners thread. Maybe this is all it is missing to make it the jolly place it used to be. Maybe this is a thread too far, but watching the Royal Chelsea Flower Show on Sunday (what a rock and roll lifestyle, I lead!) meant I saw many an old fart gardener.... so maybe it's good for you? Anyway, Death by Garden; Vittorio Brambilla, racing driver, died of h/a whilst working in his garden. Er, that's all I could find. Famous Gardeners (worthy of mention for DL/DDP purposes, so no Titchmarsh etc.): Beth Chatto, b. 1923 Michael Hesletine is an arboriculturist. Peter Cundall b. 1927 Roy Lancaster b. 1937 Art Drysdale b. 1939 whilst Peter Seabrook must be in his 80's by now?

Another one still going strong: Not sure if the twitter link will work but Eric Jones, now aged 93 is still making appearances at Preston North End events Photo is rubbish of him but he is there at the front.

Not every post on here is a death, Congleton Town have confirmed that Roy Campbell, ex-Crewe player, is alive by marking his 90th birthday - https://x.com/CongletonFC/status/1847984070656921792

I did think it was a bot, then it mentioned they met Seeley, so I posted it. No virus came up for me, but apologies if anything did come from it.

One of the oldest confirmed living players has died; Gordon Revel of Mansfield. Moved into a care home at the end of 2023, died a few weeks ago. Note slightly different birthdate than what is on Hugman's. Funeral Directors post

Coventry City's oldest living player Dennis Churms died last month: https://www.ccfpa.co.uk/?p=121064

The bloke in front of him has one of the biggest heads I've ever seen and I'm not just talking about his weight.

I think the Belfast burial index that https://online.belfastcity.gov.uk/find-burial-records/BurialRecordDetails.aspx?RecordID=9439.39752 should be enough for Wiki?

I could never find Stockport's Roy Vairey but now I know why - it's misspelt on Hugman's - Hugmans. Died as long ago as 1980! Roy Henry Vairy 1932–1980 BIRTH 10 JUN 1932 • Hemsworth, Yorkshire West Riding, England DEATH 20 JUL 1980 • Bridlington, Humberside, Englan 1932Age 0(AGE) Select fact Birth 10 Jun 1932 • Hemsworth, Yorkshire West Riding, England 2 sources 1939Age7 Select fact Residence 1939 • Hemsworth, Yorkshire (West Riding), England Marital Status: Single 1 source 1 Death 20 Jul 1980 • Bridlington, Humberside, England

I'm also going to claim this chap is Peter Smith, the former Gillingham player. There is only one Peter J Smith born in Hampshire in Apr-May-Jun 1932 - Hugman's has him born on 6th May, but given there's only one PJS, and the fact that this PJS died very near Gillingham, I'm pretty sure it's our man and his birthdate is incorrect on Hugman's. Peter John Smith from tree Record information. Birth 10 May 1932 Andover, Hampshire, England Residence 1939 Hampshire, England Marriage Apr 1972 Chatham, Kent, England Death 2006 Chatham, Kent, England
