Nice are in Europe this season, but back in November 2011, they were in the relegation zone in the French Ligue 1. So they sacked their manager and replaced him with Rene Marsiglia. Marsiglia kept them up by 4 points, but he was subsequently sacked because they saw a chance to sign Claude Puel.

 

Anyhow, Marsiglia dead aged 57 after long illness.

Jack Rawlings at 93 according to this edit on Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jack_Rawlings&oldid=740537927

 

Played for Enfield and Hendon, and was a member of the 1948 British football team at the Olympics.

No reliable sources anyway. I suspect it's true, but we have to wait.
