Surprisingly with BBC.com it usually converts to bbc.co.uk here, in this case, not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,058 Posted September 26, 2021 Alan Lancaster is one for the List Of The Missed, as I picked him back in 2019 for my TOTP theme team: https://www.derbydeadpool.co.uk/deadpool2019/celebs_L.html#lancasax19 He didn't qualify for a picking for my current 1985 team, but a sad day as another of the Quo is gone.

msc 18,476 Posted September 26, 2021 Thanks Willz, now updated. Also the List of the Lost. Also apparently we need a QO for Morris Perry, FAO any passing obituary writers... Incidentally as I've switched on the data section, I can tell you the 7 most read DDP front page obits in September 2021 are: Sarah Harding, Charlie Watts, Robert Fyfe, Michael Constantine (!!), Jimmy Greaves, Clive Sinclair and Gerd Muller. So, folk who show up on the front tracker and the most recent update, who knew! Oh, and the new Archive is apparently ridiculously popular. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
