So one assumes none of them have late stage dementia at least. Also there was Mike Summerbee and Ian Callaghan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,210 Posted November 14, 2023 The one person I would have expected to have been at Charlton's funeral but seemingly wasn't is David Beckham. I know he's a big name but pretty poor form him not attending in my view unless there was a very good reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No sweat I entered DDP this year for the first time, and I have not had a single hit this year on my three teams.. I must have taken the unlucky spot from you Though Law does make it number 4 hit on By the number pool, so I guess it all balances out 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonNgoat 160 Posted Friday at 19:43 Well I certainly wouldn’t have dropped him, but there was probably a feeling that he could linger on for years like Nobby Stiles did. RIP. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
