Octopus of Odstock

Not sure this should go in the Livvie de H thread or above because it's been quoted in this thread. I'll post it in both. There seems some debate about whether it is 2006 or 2011. But I'll say, regardless of whether it's 2006, 2011 or 2019, she is doing magnificently for her advanced age. If you look at more recent pictures of OdH, she does "look" a lot older than in this photo. If you look at this twitter picture, it has the entire picture - https://twitter.com/GilpinPeri/status/1145704850933477382, which you'd have to say is more likely to be the US than France. If so, her last visit to the US appears to be around 2011. Peri Gilpin has shared the photo, but I'd be surprised if that was taken by Peri on that day, it seems something's she shared and the twitterati have responded to. Also, a French paper claimed it was in 2019, but I cannot find that link which makes me think that they may've made a mistake and removed the article. Then 3 days later, Olivia's page on Facebook posted it. There's a number of comments in there about it being 2006. But I can't find the movie forums they refer to. In 2016, in this report from the Daily Fail - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3670080/AP-Interview-De-Havilland-breaks-silence-sibling-feud.html there is a quote about her eyesight failing which brings into question whether she would ride a bike with that vision.

That photo is from her 90th birthday. You have to do a fair bit of searching but you get there in the end. So it's from 2006.

Quite a leap from Bob to Harry. It takes a slight mental readjustment for an old f***** like me to realise that every single male that was alive on New years Day in 1911 is dead. It seemed like only a few years ago we were talking about people born in the 1890's.

Alan Godderidge died 2nd February 2020 - https://www.funeralguide.co.uk/obituaries/73500 Ex-Walsall and Swansea player.

Conrad Stanbury died in 1973 in Hounslow, born 29 Jan 1894. Source: England and Wales death index. Unless there's anything more detailed about Lees or FvR, then there's not much more delving I can do currently.

I thought I saw on a forum somewhere that he died a while back but can't find that post at the moment. Would be good if he is still going. Do you know when the Barry Hugman site will be up again?

Sounds like a character from the Flintstones.

He was best known for stealing a million dollars from John Menard.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that. She was probably my favourite contestant on there. She's 54 and her surname is Gardiner https://www.britishsoftball.org/news/view/manchester-softball-league-player-and-son-on-bbc-challenge/

How can he be penniless yet own a villa in Spain? Or have I misinterpreted the Mercury news report?

Phil Read, legendary motorcyclist, had coronavirus but is now recovering. This is despite suffering from COPD which is supposed to be a big 'rona no-no https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.visordown.com/news/general/motorcycle-gp-legend-phil-read-recovers-covid-19%3famp https://www.nwemail.co.uk/sport/18368960.les-trotter-column-best-wishes-world-champ-phil-read-cancer-battle/ However he has now got cancer to go with the COPD. Prostrate (Sigh) cancer according to this article.

Cheers Ebless, Youngwillz posted it in the Time Added thread. Strictly speaking, it should go into coronavirus victims, but probably an overkill. So that's two gone from COVID. Woan's was from dementia - nice write-up here: http://www.yeovilpress.co.uk/blog/2020/05/02/yeovil-news-football-legend-don-woan-lived-and-breathed-the-game/

Well, Baraffe and Herbin have both gone this month. Aubour, Bosquier, Budzynski, Combin, Couecou, de Michele, Djorkaeff, Hausser, Herbet, Muller, Robuschi, Carnus and Schutch are alive, so 9 gone and 13 alive.

Herrbin played twice in the 1966 World Cup for France as well.

The link to this can no longer be found, nor can any other link to him turning 100. It's unusual for a page to just disappear like that for no particular reason which makes me wonder...

Not an English league player, but one that enjoyed a decent career in Scotland - notably for Aberdeen: Alex Kiddie, is still alive and has just celebrated his 93rd birthday - https://www.afc.co.uk/2020/04/27/afc-fps-alex-kiddie-feature/

Forgive me if this was posted elsewhere but Tedi Millward, the tutor to Prince Charles at Aberystwyth University (featured in an episode of The Crown recently) has died https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52443428

There are a couple of people - either admins or mods - who you are not allowed to ignore. I tried to do it and unfortunately it wont let me succeed in my task..

Sad news as he was quite active for his age (or was recently)

Coffin Lodger is iain. He's been doing this kind of stunt thinking he is a some kind of rolling 24 hour news person for 15 odd years. At least he is consistent if not a bit odd But he is relatively harmless and doesn't normally insult other members. As for Kim Jong Un... maybe he is merely self isolating.

Claude Barthélemy, part of Haiti's 1974 squad, died earlier this month http://www.hpnhaiti.com/nouvelles/index.php/sport/23-football/7274-haiti-foot-claude-baryhelemy-de-la-generation-1974-est-mort

No, unless that finished him off. He had pancreatic cancer and suffered a stroke last month. He died of complications of them both.

Oh no, another Reading FC passing this year. Not a good year at all. Dave became a travel agent I think later in life.

With all the 'rona afflicting care homes, it made me wonder about the two sets of people who appeared in Old People's Home for Four Year Olds" as it must potentially be sweeping a whole wave of reality "stars". Nothing found recently, but when looking, I found that the oldest featured member (in series two), Sylvia Fairholme, died at the grand old age of 104 back in February, "https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-news/tribute-mum-104-who-captured-3893781 I found both series to be one of the most heartwarming programmes I've watched in the last 10 years or so, but I appreciate it's not everybody's cup of tea.
