Guest Guest Posted April 13, 2011 Its been reported that 'Buster Martin' has died, aged 104. He claimed to have been the oldest man to run the London Marathon, but was unable to produce satisfactory documentary evidence of his age. I was wondering if this was the same chap who was part of "The Zimmers"*, of "My Generation" fame. (if it is, mods feel free to move post to "Dead Pop Stars" thread). Edit: *This would also mean DDP points for Fictional? and Pool Ghoul if a satisfactory obit appears. will this do as an obit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
