Octopus of Odstock 2,186 Posted December 9, 2011 Len Phillips The last survivor of Portsmouth's league championship winning side of 1948-49 and 1949-50 has died aged 89. Ah ha, does that give me the (equal) DDP theme team lead, I wonder? (Subject to a suitable obit, but I don't think that'll be an issue) If so, that will make up for an abysmal main team performance. TMIB, is it decided by hits or average age per death? At the risk of sounding slightly bitter, seems an easy and lazy way to win a competition by picking incredibly old people...

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted December 10, 2011 I'm not sure if he would meet the fame criteria, but former Ghana captain Emmanuel Quashie is suffering from throat cancer. It's nice to see the press dealing with his predicament in such a sensitive manner: ...The crippling grip of throat cancer is dangerously oozing health out of him with each passing day.
