Octopus of Odstock

We could do with a few more points if the EFL decide to fuck us over yet again with a 9 point deduction. If we beat Blackpool and Cheltenham remain on 41, then we'll breathe easier.

Neil Collins sacked with just one game to go at Barnsley.. not picked by anyone though https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cp9gkg71gwyo

Last Night of the Proms conductor for eleven years, thought he seemed familiar. RIP

Presentation here today in Sweden. Needs help to walk now (Did he at the Liverpool match?)

Thank you. When I get a moment I must prepare a list for people to check each quarter aside from the old footballers.

Bruce Bould was CJ's 'Super' man, surprised he died off radar. Christopher Reich was the main one I'd heard of instantly. Had a long theatre career, appeared in Bergerac, Pink Panther and lots of other stuff. Sorry to hear this.

Apologies if already posted but Raman Subba Row QO https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/68847875.amp

Warwick Davis' wife, Sammy, who was also an actress herself, has died, aged just 53. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68839035 EDIT She was also the daughter of another dwarf actor, Peter Burroughs.

Replaced by Stevenage's Steve Evans.

No, but this is - UK Yahoo

I don't think it's particularly fair to have, say, Variety as a standalone QO, because that's a website that covers a specific field of interest. It's like including Autosport.com or Cricinfo etc.

Dowson was utterly clueless. Wilkinson a big step up. I'll definitely have to take part in next season's pool.

A recent report on Eric Doughty confirms he is still very well, but also that he is Plymouth's 2nd oldest living player, behind someone (who for some reason) I had down as deceased - Neil Langman (WIki - Wiki More indepth guide) is still alive. So he's been added. Doughty posts However, it's not all good news. Former Watford player Dennis Maskell died last month, https://www.watfordfc.com/news/tribute-dennis-maskell-1933-2024 EDIT - actually died 20th January https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/memorials/death-notices/death/30595831.dennis-danny-maskell/

Ted Toleman QO for any Dead Pools he was picked for: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/formula-1/ted-toleman-dies-ayrton-senna-32560494?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target
