In my experience African media seem to use it as a euphemism for "about to drop dead", hence me including our man Kabobo when I saw this at the end of February. Except that term isn’t in this story. That said I saw a few others posted the following day that could have been discovered. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,964 Posted March 24 Manuel Ruiz de Lopera was the president of Real Betis (Sevilla) for 10 years from 1996-2006. In 1997 he managed the then most expensive transfer in history for Brazilian player Denilson. A divisive figure, he once had a stadium named after him, and then his name removed again. He also participated in the traditional Spanish sport of confusing football business with public interest. MariNisia scores a unique hit, AND joker points, very well done!

Eric Dornfeld (typo'd by me in my entry as Dornfield) will be if he gets a QO, having died last night. How the hell did Dornfeld pass the fame test? (Yes I’m only just looking at the names as I research for April). Honestly, can someone PahLEEEZ run this thing without allowing people who coach a group of 13 year old footballers in Africa, or in this case any one of a thousand college hockey players?

gcreptile 10,964 Posted March 29 Nancy Valverde continues last year's tradition of notable lesbians becoming DeathList Cup hits. She most notably wore men's clothing in a time when that was regarded as socially impossible. She became a mainstay in the Los Angeles queer community and received some late recognition in recent years. msc manages to turn around his fortunes in the game against therewillbedeaths7 and hands over the "best loser" distinction to his opponent.
