He mentioned that he'd been treated for lymphoma and had a tumour on his spine removed a while ago. He sounded very hale and hearty, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Reports indicate Fosbury died from a recurrence of lymphoma mentioned by @DevonDeathTrip back in 2008. I may just steal one of your entire teams for this year for my main team next year @Gooseberry Crumble!!! That's three drops within three months and there's ages to go yet! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is in @An Fear Beag Hares pool that I picked Dick Fosbury and his death greatly raises my position in the scoreboard! A few names synonymous with me are in those earlier DDP pools eg Vera Miles, Jacqueline White, Christina Crawford...rich pickings for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
