Grande Pablo 96 Posted April 3, 2013 Another childhood bubble burst - Bob Colston - who read the football results on World of Sport in the 70s & 80s http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2013/04/03/itv-s-voice-of-football-bob-colston-dies-aged-84-61634-33106595/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 8,660 Posted April 26, 2013 David Coleman 87 today. I didn't realise he was so old, maybe he will get on the list in the next couple of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 8,660 Posted April 30, 2013 Whilst verifying Coleman's birthdate (I haven't trusted i since the Ann Jones debarcle) I saw that Peter Dimmock (b. 1920) the original presenter of Grandstand is still alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 1,859 Posted May 24, 2013 I don't know if this is public knowledge or not, but I received an email about Murray Walker today; I was shocked to hear from him (Murray Walker) a few moments ago that he has just got home from 3 weeks in German and UK hospitals, following a fall, he has broken his pelvis and can only just hobble about on crutches. Bear in mind he will be 90 in October, getting back to normal is likely to take some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bear in mind he will be 90 in October, getting back to normal is likely to take some time. Is Murray's wife still alive because it's been a long standing ambition of mine to bone her senseless whilst Murray sits in the corner providing rapid fire commentary, before shouting "Fantastic, absolutely fantastic" as Mrs Walker and myself come to similtaneous and massive.... it might aid his recovery if she still is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,022 Posted June 25, 2013 Sky darts anchor Dave Clark "opens up" to the Daily Mail about his battle with Parkinsons, the same disease that led to his dad's suicide. To be honest I'd be close to suicide as well if I had to sit through another Phil Taylor "I'm 53 you know, there's some great talent on the tour these days, normally Barney would be hitting those in for fun, I was talking to me mate Robbie Williams" interview.

Predictor 1,007 Posted June 25, 2013 Wow...this topic was created in 2006....4 years before Gary Coleman died after falling down the stairs. It's like the thread-starter was subconciously predicting Coleman's death, despite the thread not being about him....Eerie, ain't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 17,762 Posted June 25, 2013 About as eerie as the fact my grandfather attended his own dad's funeral, and then later died himself (fifty years later). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted December 21, 2013 David Coleman dead. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25476438 Damn..... sad in my opinion. He was a prize berk but one of the nation's favourite berks. And a good commentator. I was going to suggest him for next year's list too. Also, will have to replace him on my DDP entry...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantom 2,469 Posted December 21, 2013 I'm a bit sad about that. I always enjoyed watching Question of Sport as a kid and listening to him get carried away when he would do commentary when the Olympics were on, were what made it more entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,269 Posted December 21, 2013 was he never on the list? if not why?! I'm pretty sure he wasn't, from memory. Like I said I was gonna suggest him for next year. Shame, he would have been a great DL pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 1,859 Posted December 22, 2013 The chances of Frank Bough making it to January 1st 2014 must be slim based on the fact that the other three men with him in the photo have all died in 2013. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
