John Stalker at 79.
 
From his inquiry into the shoot to kill policy in Norn that was kept secret, to selling tripe on the telly, to the Moors Murders, he was kept busy.
 
 
 


So what you are saying is that Ian Brady was innocent?

In all seriousness his performance of Hitler was sensational.  Watching Alec Guinness playing him was like a bad Monty Python sketch.  He humanised a monster which while uncomfortable was very accurate to the personality of Hitler.

No pun here either.

He was fabulous in Wings of Desire, one of my favourite films.

Week 7 Update

Two deaths this week. First up was Gordon Banks, an English League Cup winner with Leicester and Stoke in 1964 and 1972 respectively. He made a save in the 1970 World Cup, and achieved nothing else of note for his country. Obituary: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47196017

In all seriousness, pretty much every reaction to his death has reinforced that he was a good guy. He was picked three times by @Musketeer Gripweed, @The DA and @Ziggy, for 44 base points. 

As seen a few posts up, @50/50 Winner picked Ken Nordine, described on his Wikipedia page as "you may not know Ken Nordine by name or face, but you'll almost certainly recognize his voice." I've had a listen, and he's lost on me. Maybe it's because I'm not from Chicago like he is though, because there's as yet no qualifying obituary for him. 

The effect on the scores is this:

1. sparky88 328
2. alta-pete 297
3. Oooooft 277
4. Ned Nederlander 262
5. DBA 236
6. chomp my root 221
7. Bishop Briggs 207
8. cdisaaccie, Lex, peasy23, The Naitch 140
9. Musketeer Gripweed 106

10. gingette, Once a Rover always a Rover 105
11. Ben Twilly 93

12. LoonsYouthTeam 78
13. Indale Winton, lichtgilphead, qos_75 70
14. Sweaty Morph 62
15. The DA, Ziggy 44

16. Everyone else 0
