Gooseberry Crumble 5,211 Posted January 8 The committee really has its finger on the pulse this year. 3 'hits' in 8 days is undeniably impressive and from their point of view an incredibly successful start to the deadpooling year. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sinbabad 830 Posted January 8 Zagallo and Beckenbauer were the first two people to be World Champions as a player AND a coach. The third and last one is Deschamps. I’d be him I would go for a medical check up ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,181 Posted January 8 39 minutes ago, Spade_Cooley said: RIP to a man who, even by the high standards of 20th century footballing legends that went into the administration side of the game, took a shitload of bribes. And probably paid a lot of bribes out as well considering he was one of the main organisers of the 2006 German World Cup bid and tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 3,494 Posted January 8 Surprised this has happened this early in the year, he definitely felt like a decent bet to go at some point in 2024, but it didn't necessarily feel a given that he'd go this year. A very impressive start by the Deathlist, 3 in just over a week. Perhaps this year is the one where they've finally entertained all the collective wisdom on this site and decided to strike. Rest in Peace, Der Kaiser. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
