    The Chequered Flag

    Was going to keep this to myself but I doubt he'll make 2025. Ted Toleman, founder of the Toleman team that completed in the early 1980's is now in palliative care and near the end of his life.

    Thanks, I think this was correct but will just cross reference accordingly.

    Hospitalised!

    Neophyte has died, according to this: https://m.novinite.com/articles/224834/Shocking+News%3A+Bulgarian+Patriarch+Neophyte+Has+Passed+Away Not sure I would call it 'shocking' news.

    The Chequered Flag

    Scheckter is not just selling the cars, he's also selling the buffalo herd at Laverstoke, with the meat and dairy products no longer available. This all seems quite drastic unless he's in some severe financial trouble, in serious ill health, or more boringly, wants to sell up and relax in his dotage and enjoy different things.

    Star Wars Deaths

    Very sorry to read this. Aside from Star Wars, he had a fine resume of work.

    Ian's fine. Last spoke to him last summer. Playing a lot of golf currently.

    Jody Scheckter is selling his entire car collection. This comes as a surprise as he used to run them to promote his Laverstoke Park speed weekend and it was generally thought he'd hang onto them. Could be nothing, could be just raising funds or it could be the racing driver version of selling their house https://www.topgear.com/car-news/formula-one/check-out-fabulous-selection-jody-scheckters-racing-cars-headed-auction

    One for @Ulitzer95 and @michael featherstone Whilst scrolling through a few names for 1933 etc., Alan Rushby, born 27/12/1933, ex-Bradford PA, Mansfield, and Doncaster is this man on Director Check. The same town is listed on The Gazette's deceased estates webpage so I am pretty confident it's the same man.

    Oldest Living football league players

    Lincoln City's official historian has put the oldest 10 living players. No surprise re. Killin and Harbertson, but this confirms Ray Bell (b. 1930), who played just one league appearance is dead. Unlike some of the other poorly researched soundbites from clubs, this is a long-time historian, so I'd feel pretty confident Bell is dead.
