Oh no, not another "starts now and here's my team" DP.  

Sooo much better to give notice of a starting date, with teams only revealed once the game is underway.

I wanted it to be one of those can join any time pools for those who missed out on the major dead pools, hence why I revealed my team now. You can join anytime if you want. 

 

This game looks fun. Does 'join at any time' run to '17 months after everyone else started' by any chance?

Absolutely, anyone who wants to join this game can do so until someone has all forty of their picks die.

OK here goes. Went for people who I'd heard of before I came anywhere near this site, until I got to number 40 and remembered the object of the exercise. In case anyone looks unfamiliar, 1-7 are footballers, 8-18 are male pop/rock stars, 19-26 are fanciable women (sorry, singers and actresses) of the late 60s and early 70s, 27-30 are athletes, 31-33 are former international speedway riders, 34-36 are UK politicians.

Just checked my team, 16/40 so far, but many of the survivors on my team will last a long time, pretty sure

Am I too late to enter this pool if I research and cup up with 40 names for those born in the 1940's?

I entered 6 months late so I see no reason why you can't. You'll be at a disadvantage though, with all the people who've died in the last 4 years.

You can still enter

[theoldlady 2,313]

Pele was a hit for a lot of people here. I see many of the lists here need to be updated.

[Toast 16,155]

Motty is a hit for me, sadly.

And the whistle goes for half-time as that brings me to 20/40.
