dead Ferenc Puskas

[Tempus Fugit 214]

Be funny, like, if his number of caps for deadpool teams exceeded his international footie caps. He's been courting some kind of collapse for a while since he's packing some serious pork and has been for a while but was still prone to rapid sprints and shimmies in charity games well into his late fifties.

Puskas isn't even listed on NNDB, useless pile of Americentric shite really.

A bit of Puskas action on Youtube,

There should be a way to add bigger or animated avatars on the forum... why isn't there? heh

[maryportfuncity 10,657]

Cos it's the quality of the fulminating and frequently spunky ejaculations that really matters.

 

Couldn't you set an avatar up on You Tube and keep posting a link, assuming - like - you ever come back here.

Ever heard of Feng Shui, my anonymous friend?

And not just Americentric but USentertainment-centric.

For the RDP, I wanted to select Phil Hill, an AMERICAN motor racing WORLD CHAMPION. But he wasn't on there. Daniel Smith, son of Anne Nicole was.

 

 

Says it all, really.

[Canadian Paul 97]

Puskas likely to leave Intensive Care Unit.

 

Still, not a well man. I'm thinking he's not going to last another year.

[Canadian Paul 97]

Ferenc Puskas not leaving ICU after all.

[Magere Hein 1,400]

No news, but I found this topic about our hero on a sports forum. I wonder who's paying his hospital bill now.

Ex-footballers are sadly prone to Alzheimers - Danny Blanchflower, Bob Paisley, and John Charles to name just three. Something to do with frequent, minor brain jarring from heading the ball, I'd expect.

 

One of Puskas's teammates from the famous 50s side (can't remember which one) was also a long term hospital case in his later years too. Though he was compos mentis enough to emerge from his bed and throw himself to a quick death via a window.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

This article gives quite some further information about his present health.

 

"....According to municipal regulations [in Budapest], streets can only be named after a person at least 25 years after their death. But it seems the wheels are in motion to make this case an exception...."

Now "critically ill" after pneumonia

fingers crossed he can hold on till the end of the year as he's top of my list for next year in the sweepstakes

[Tempus Fugit 214]

This year or next year, either way I'll get points in one deadpool or another.

noooooo don't say that!! he's got to hold on until the end of the year. Otherwise he'll be the 8th one in a month that I've got pencilled in for next year to have died

Sorry Phantom, but I too also disagree with your statement

Hungary legend Puskas dies aged 79

[Octopus of Odstock 2,203]

Beat me to it young man.

 

Well, this is a truly sad day for football - one of THE very greats. But the man was so ill in his last years, you can't help feeling this is a release rather than a tragedy. The tragedy was he was so ill, I suppose.

 

Anyway, points in the CPDP & DDP. Would've been points in the RDP but he's not "famous enough" for their requirements.

[themaninblack 2,112]

Cobblers!

He was in my provisional DDP list too..

 

Maybe the DL should have a permanent slot for a legendary footballer in the list.

 

Ah well, out Puskas, in Waters I suppose....

Bugger, there goes another DL and DDP pick for next year

[Magere Hein 1,400]

A football legend dies. He had already retired when I started watching the game, but commentators used words like "Puskas-like" as highest praise for what other footballers did on the field. Also, five DDP points is nothing to sneeze at.

 

Pneumonia once more proves to be the Old Man's Friend.

 

Ferenc Puskas

Was the best of his age class

Although his own memory went rotten

His football will not be forgotten

 

respectfully,

Hein
