Hmmm. 48 minutes and no interjections to the contrary, you might be right this week.

Eta, correct at to the time of writing.

I'm at the point where I'm just waiting for the panic attack when I read "Aim Here quoted you in a topic..."

Would skysports.com count as a qualifying obituary?

Despite the hysteria, Virgil Van Dijk didn't actually die on Saturday.

So basically I've got an idea for 2021 who is reportedly pretty ill, very well known in his particular sporting field and would almost certainly get a write up on skysports.com if he was to pass. Only problem is he's a virtual nobody outside of his sport so may not get a national newspaper obituary per se.

In order to be eligible upon death, your entrants must receive an obituary in a UK-based national news source.

Sports don't qualify as news, sadly. You're free to put in obscure names in the hope that they do turn up on a news source, but off the top of my head I think every sportsperson since I started doing the game has had a news obituary rather than a sports one. 

 

Ed - PS if you do enter you're starting at -1 for starting that post with "So"
