I think the number of people selecting Michael in all of the deadpools but especially the DDP will increase quite notably next year after this announcement which strangely for a man his age still seems like a bolt out of the blue. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although being a latecomer also means forgetting good names you didn't note down, I found. I remember when the forum chat thing still worked, I expressed extensively how good a pick Bernie Nolan would be for the DDP when some others were cautious on here. Come the big reveal of teams on January 1st, someone (possibly DI but someone like that) asked in the chat why I'd not picked Nolan for my DDP team, at which point I suddenly realised I'd forgotten all about her! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a few pages in a notepad with names written down of people I may forget come December if not committed to paper as a memory prompt! I check them against the current Derby Dead Pool and in some cases I am genuinely surprised and from a deadpooling point of view delighted at certain names which have not previous been picked. Decent names that look likely to stand a good chance of being unique picks if chosen by me. Oh I have higher expectations than catching a worm -I tend to look and go for things much bigger than that! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So maybe a cricket player? Edit: Maybe Tom Courtenay? In the context of the article, it has to be someone around his age - so not Alan Igglesden, for example. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,476 Posted October 18, 2021 So Michael Caine has retired, un-retired and re-retired now? I'm confused. tbh my first thought was "how's Tom Courtenay's health these days?" 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,754 Posted October 18, 2021 According to some sources once mentioned that his closest friends are Roger Moore, Sean Connery, Terry O'Neill, Johnny Gold and Leslie Bricusse. Bricusse is the only living one out of the five. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
