Octopus of Odstock 2,195 Posted September 29, 2008 While I'm posting, Juan Tuñas, the last surviving player from Cuba's 1938 World Cup Squad, is 91 years young. Although the article is a bit outdated, I haven't seen any notice of his death. Probably zero obit chances, but interesting nonetheless. Yep - still alive. FIFA did a profile on him and the last I was aware, he was doing pretty good for his age. Obit chances.. zero. Unless I accept all Cuban based media on the DDP next year instead of what there is now. Now that will make the US quota lower....! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Godot 149 Posted November 24, 2008 Chesterfield player Derek Niven has had cancer treatment & is awaiting the results. As are many DDP'rs. Not really, says Dr Godot. Your bollock cancer is one of the most successfully operable if caught quickly. They just whip it off and ask for a small deposit for the sperm bank, just in case. I believe it has a 90-odd per cent recovery rate. So if you're going to get cancer anywhere, a testicle is not a bad bet. Of course if you start thinking you have three bollocks or a particularly large, if peculiarly shaped, bollock you might be leaving it a bit late. I guess he should stay out of the defensive wall in future but otherwise I'm sure he'll be as right as rain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted January 3, 2009 Former Mansfield Town manager Ian Greaves has died. He took them to glory by winning the Freight Rover Trophy in 1987, flukily beating Chester City 2-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals, thus denying the Seals a chance to play at Wembley for the first time (no, we still haven't got there yet) in our slightly-less-than-glorious history. I attended both legs of that semi. Not that I'm bitter, but I'm glad the f****r's dead. And that Mansfield are now non-league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted January 21, 2009 Jim Thompson highly ambivalent figure in football. A leading light in developing the automatic promotion from the Conference and - soon after - a benificiary when under his chairmanship Maidstone United joined the league. At which point they sold their ground, started playing 'home' matches 25 miles away, stuffed Carlisle to earn a play-off place in their first season and then plummeted soon afterwards, eventually leaving a space in the league when they imploded at the start of a season. The fans blamed Thompson for much of the situation, but he also got them into the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
