Word on the tweet has former Scottish international (and Arsenal/Man Utd striker) David Herd dead aged 82.

Hearing that as well. Hero of 1963 cup final against Leicester (2 goals).

Manchester City cult hero Gerry Gow dead from lung cancer at 64. There were the generic "City legend battling cancer" stories earlier this year in local press and I had him inked in for 2017 based around the Curse of Half Man Half Biscuit (Gow is mentioned in "This One's For Now" off "Urge For Offal").

Curse of Half Man Half Biscuit

 

Hmmm

 

Alive includes

Nerys Hughes

Dickie Davies

 

Dead includes

Ted Moult

Gerry Gow

 

 

Is there a living theme team of vulnerable health/highly obitable in there?

[Spade_Cooley 9,525]

There's a partial list of those who've succumbed to the curse at the top of this page. Rob "one half of Climie" Fisher and Ettore Sottsass are both names who died between the tracks that feature them being recorded and released. May well provide a full list of survivors in my lunch hour if I get time.

[msc 18,443]

Lynsey de Paul managed to die between recording and official release too, iirc.

Not HMHB, but Gordon McQueen gets OK after another cancer scare. Just about beat throat cancer in 2011, had a stroke last year, and only 64, he doesn't seem like he's planning to see too grand an old age at this rate.

Willian tends to score quite often for club and country, which means he will keep dedicating goals and Brazil wins to his mother. To recap, her name is Maria da Silva (or "Zeze" for short), she has had an unspecified form of cancer for 2 and a half years, with 5 operations and at least one bout of chemotherapy, and now her "health condition has reportedly deteriorated over the past few weeks".

Is this a triple-bluff or a quadruple one?

I met Nev when he was manager of Hastings,I politely asked him for his autograph(for my Welsh Uncle) and Nev blanked me by looking at me like I was the shit on his shoes,despite that I still think hes the best Welsh custodian after Gary Sprake

 

Gary Sprake has died. He was 71. https://twitter.com/LUFC/status/788787566195646464

 

Leeds United and Wales goalie.

Turns out he could catch a cold.

Aye, a fitting tribute at the funeral might involve his former team mates dropping the coffin!

Considering his notable heart problems, I'm slightly surprised he never featured in the DDP. RIP...

A while ago I mentioned BBC commentator Mick Lowe who is BBC Radio Newcastle's primary commentator for the football. Just to update you that he's missed a few more matches for health reasons. He's been consistently missing matches sporadically for a while now so there's an opportunity for a long term health issue. No public knowledge though, might be an outside bet for next years less picky deadpools, could probably even swing a national obit if you're short.

Re Robbo 2 posts back, the wee hun cunt fell down the stairs at Swinecastle

 

Few broken ribs and punctured lung, so not life threatening.
