Brudder, that selection of Jackie Charlton was ominous in December last year as he became the 12th player from the 1966 FIFA World Cup squad to die after: Bobby Moore (1993), Alan Ball (2007), John Connelly (2012), Ron Springett (2015), Gerry Byrne (2015), Jimmy Armfield (2018), Ray Wilson (2018), Gordon Banks (2019), Martin Peters (2019), Peter Bonetti (2020) and Norman Hunter (2020). |

I do not want to jinx Ron Flowers, but a lot of those type of awards, which could have given years before, are often handed out when the recipient is not in good health and is at God's waiting room.
He could be an outsider for our 2021 Dead Poll.

Sad to hear that news. Watching Gilligans Island on afternoon tv as a kid, I always found Mary Ann cuter than Ginger.

Ok, the time has come to score. Please compile your results and post by end of Sunday next week 10 January and I will award the $20 bonus bet to the winner.
Please post your results as follows: - Go back to your original entry and quote it - To the right of each selection that died please add their age at death and then how many points they score (100 minus age at death plus 10) - At the bottom of the post put the total score for all your selections - I’m not going back through the thread to find previously compiled scores so please do this even if you have done already in the last couple of weeks. I won’t bother with mine as I appear to have managed a duck egg.

Thanks Bob, should have read the rules again.

Sean Connery = 20 points. Nowhere near the winning score but thanks to 007's passing I got on the scoreboard. Not sure about the Home And Away actors but I can not find any of them which died during the eyar so I will take the 20 points.

Jimmy Carter Christopher Lloyd Prince Pip (has to be this year) Kirk Douglas (even if I score poorly, he's gotta be on the list) Terence Stamp Clint Eastwood Glynis Johns Christopher Plummer Rhonda Fleming Liza Minnelli (her voice is from the crypt) I think I scored 19 points, from Kirk and Rhonda. Who won?

Earl Cameron, Olivia and Carl Reiner met their maker. Believe it or not, Norman Lloyd is still holding on, at 106. He must be locked away in a vault.

Ok looks like Brudder_A is our winner for 2020 with 54 points. Congratulations! I’ll shoot a PM regarding the $20 bonus bet I have for you. When the bet is made I’ll advise in this thread so we can cheer it on. Well OneOne will be death riding but the rest of us will be cheering.

Ok, Brudder_A has kindly chosen to throw the bonus bet back to me with any any winnings to go to charity. So with that in mind, who has a tip for me? Let me know some selections for Saturday and I will choose one and bet it. Thanks.

As are we all
Probably better to go with Voyager or Take 2, or hopefully Ada Hunter turns up with a young one
