Tempus Fugit 214 Posted March 2, 2006 Well I must say I was surprised by his death. Here's the BBC obituary, as no one has posted a link to an obit, strangely. Sad really, Jack never conquered his demons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest www.olliereed.co.uk Posted March 2, 2006 Saw a TV programme last night about child stars & was shocked at the state of Jack Wild. He's only about 50 but looks much older. He's had his tongue & larynx removed due to cancer. Doesn't look like he'll make old bones. Anyone know of any other former child stars in a bad way? Well, you've got the kiss of death mate. He popped his clogs today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jack Wild Posted March 3, 2006 A cert for the 2006 DL surely. They'd only operate to such an extent because certain death was stalking him. His immune system has taken enough punishment for half a dozen lifetimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted March 3, 2006 When I saw this morning that Jack Wild had died, I almost thought my Hartlepool prediction had come true in only one day. Alas, it was not to be so. Six days left though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted March 3, 2006 My first points in the DDP What is your DDP team name Lady Die? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
football_fan 42 Posted March 3, 2006 Apparentely not a cert, but someone brought this up in the 2007 Ideas thread, so it might be a good time to discuss if he's on people's minds. No. In fact I took him off the DDP longlist completely as he's cancer free and apart from the fact he can't speak is quite healthy. Late last year I was agonizing over whether or not to include his name on my 2006 ddp list, but I had read somewhere that he had beaten cancer. So to my detriment, I also left his name off my list.

Clive's NOT Dunn 7 Posted March 3, 2006 But however bad things have got he's always been able to pull good looking women. Strange that! Maybe it was his silken tongue they liked. Gift wrapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
