Local newspaper report; apparently the Welsh FA refused to award him his cap as it was only a 15 minute sub appearance. Took 25 years before he got it.

9000 posts, far too many, really. Actually, if you count my guest phase, probably well beyond. Ah well. As Proper Post 1 was a list, and first really regular deadpooling post was a list then... yep, list coming. Here's a list of potential names and ideas for DDPs (and other pools) for folk in 2019. It's a list of frail folk, terminally ill folk, and really old folk rarely mentioned - in an attempt to provide suggestions for all persuasions of the forum. Some are Deathlisty, others more Deathracey, but pretty sure all will get a qualifying obit. Anyhow, I think a fair lot of these names will die in 2019, but there is only room for 20 on my Pan Breed team, so if you want to pick them, good luck!

Took CSKA Sofia into the old UEFA Cup group stages. Took Liverpool close in the CL Qualifiers, KO'd Leverkusen in the UEFA Cup, and only narrowly lost to Monaco when a draw would have taken them into the next round.

Gary Mabbutt, Spurs "legend", suffering from diabetes, had circulatory failure and heart surgery in 2017, says "a rat ate a part of my foot while I was sleeping":

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/45323426

In March of this year (triple checked the dates this time) Gary Mabbutt seems to have undergone carotid artery surgery: https://www.spurs-web.com/spurs-news/tottenham-confirm-club-legend-has-successfully-undergone-artery-surgery/ (thanks to research on that 1987 Tottenham squad).

 

He seems fine - 40 years with type 1 diabetes and a couple of heart surgeries.

 

Not on my death date, will you take him for a candlelit dinner on the DDP?

Damn, a complete legend in the world of squash, single-handedly saved the British Open and brought it to Hull. Revered by the whole squash community. 

Also I had him as my DDP Joker 4 or 5 years back. Famously described by Steve Bruce at the time as 'not a well man'.
