Deathtreat23 200 Posted November 1, 2020 Yep-A Definte candidate for next year now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,556 Posted November 1, 2020 Yeah, I think him and Babs will be the next "big dementia names" they wind up picking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fergie86 377 Posted November 1, 2020 True depends how far advanced it is but he is too big a name to leave off future lists he will probably die in next 2 or 3 years probably too early for next year but can’t leave him of just in case. Sad news a true legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sad news a true legend. I doubt he has that long. He's been out of the spotlight for ages. Missed his own brother's funeral. I think he was diagnosed a while back and that the family have more or less been forced to reveal the diagnosis due to the death of 4 of his '66 teammates this year and his repeated absence/silence. The tabloids were probably trying to get in touch persistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyfiona 2,668 Posted November 1, 2020 It depends if he is going into a special care home or even if he catches Covid. But I put bets on him going in the next two years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tabloids were probably trying to get in touch persistently. He looked well enough at Gordon Banks funeral 18 months ago and looked like he was still a fair bit more independent than Jack was by then. Will be gone by 2024 but hard to pinpoint.

The Old Crem 3,638 Posted February 20, 2021 Gets his vaccine - doesn't look too bad 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathrace 1,176 Posted February 20, 2021 Well enough to have his vaccine photo taken but not well enough to attend his brother's funeral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,176 Posted February 21, 2021 He looks very thin and not quite there (which we know is true) however he doesn't look on the verge of death. Probably 2-3 years left if Covid isn't a factor. I think it would be worth putting him on the list next year assuming he's still going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,267 Posted January 1, 2022 I’m sorry, is this Peter Falk or something? (Probably a good choice on paper. That said, I think he still has a few years left) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, the article stated Bobby was so ill with advanced dementia he could not attend his brother’s funeral (like he couldn’t attend Jack’s in 2020). Looks like a lock for 2023. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably but dementia is a disease where some people who seem certain to go just linger on in horrible health. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
