Remember when he punched the BBC man.

He was on the B-Team last year. I actually didn't know what was wrong, just that he was ill. So, thanks! Also, I hoped to get the opportunity to post the video above.

List updated. Thanks to msc, Grim Up North and ebless for helping!

Decided to keep it limited to born in the 1920s or before... didn't realise so many were still about in all fairness! Mind you, suppose I was stereotyping footballers in my head according to the type of lifestyle many of them live nowadays. It's easy to forget that a lot of these early players weren't on huge pay, generally had shorter careers and didn't drink themselves to death once their playing days ceased.

Impressive listage.

 

One name stands out for me - Tommy Docherty is still alive at 89 - must be worth a punt soon and even possibly for main Death List?

 

 

 

Aye, q/o shoo in - Man Utd, Scotland and that infamous stint at Chelsea where he lasted days

still in fine fettle January 2017

 

Research shows that he is still on the After Dinner circuit so maybe not quite ripe enough for us yet.

What's his fee

 

I mean - a whip round and he do us a turn at the next DLCon, right?

iirc Docherty actually replaced Denis Law for some after dinner speeches earlier this year because Law was too ill to give them. Dunno what was up with him though - might have been a cold.

Yes it's actually in the link I posted.

 

Law had Prostate Cancer back in 2003 but was 'cured' 7 years later which is also 7 years ago now. 

He also collapsed last year at an airport but publicly was due to vasovagal problem which has led to several collapses.

 

Not being able to do an After Dinner Speech in January could have easily just been a cold - certainly nothing concrete enough for him to merit inclusion in any lists with so much cancer fodder around.

Just on the theme of oldest Internationals, I 'think' Eliezer Spiegel was Israels (or whitever they were called back then).

 

Died last week aged 95. Dob 20/6/22.

[Spade_Cooley 9,522]

Henning Jensen, Danish footballing great, dead at 68 following a short cancer battle. Was Allan Simonsen's partner upfront for both Borussia Monchengladbach and the national team, and later moved to Real Madrid where he won two Ligas.

Jimmy McEwan dead at 88.

Oldest Aston Villa player.

Tipping up old huns #3, Johnny Hubbard made the match yesterday, but the most used words were 'recent scare' and 'frail', "very frail".

Patrick Cryne has sold Barnsley.

 

Might not be the last Cryne update of 2017...

Think that one just got away with some of the Barnsley shares.

[Joey Russ 7,222]

Liam Miller is determined to beat his cancer...

[Death Impends 7,965]

I'll throw a couple of experts on specific football teams into the mix:

 

David France OBE, Everton fanatic and historian, is in ill health according to this report from March.

 

Tom Clare, historian on Manchester United, has metastatic adenocarcinoma and is on GoFundMe.

[charon 4,943]

Bobby Williamson diagnosed with nasal cancer at 56.

 

He's out in Kenya the last few years but went to India for the tumour removal.

 

Had chemo and 20 lots of radiotherapy, and lost two stones.

 

Be a month or two to know if its spread.

[Deathbysnoosnoo 28]

Says he plans on returning to management after the treatment so guessing the prognosis was good(ish)

So anyone else see Liverpool's capitulation last night? I assume TMIB wont forget it in a hurry. Anyhow, Sevilla came from 0-3 down to draw in the second half. What was the Sevilla manager, Eduardo Berizzo's stirring half time team talk?

 

Announcing his diagnosis with malignant adenocarcinoma, that's what.

He got sacked after he returned...

Hmm, they only just updated his contract a few weeks ago, which I took to mean the exact opposite as an update!

[gcreptile 10,970]

Yes, extremely surprising. I thought it was your standard testicular cancer after steroid use. And I somewhat thought about picking him (12 point gamble). That could have been a huge end-year surprise.
