Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 6, 2017 Wait, is Joost the youngest Deathlist hit ever? Just a thought that occurred to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,439 Posted February 6, 2017 Wait, is Joost the youngest Deathlist hit ever? Just a thought that occurred to me. No, John Curry was 44. Simon Cadell was 45, and I think Tim Gullikson was early 40s. Pretty sure there's an obvious one staring me in the face from the last decade too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,439 Posted February 6, 2017 It was Fignon I was thinking of, Joey, but apparently he was 50. Thought he was younger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted February 6, 2017 Yes, sad that someone so young and previously healthy is our 2nd hit. Meanwhile Robert Mugabe celebrates his 93rd birthday. Life sucks 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted February 6, 2017 Very sad but a big hit for Dead Ends and Deceased Hose (me).Yes, but you won't be able to get past Golden Slumbers, who's in the lead (for now at least).

Proper dark horse for the title, as seen by his start! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,936 Posted February 8, 2017 He was not a saint. He betrayed his wife with prostitutes while using cocaine. He did not deserve to die so young and he was an exceptional rugby player, but as a man he was horrible, Probably his illness made him better in his last years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
