Week 46 update

Two deaths this week. Up first, commentator Gerald Sinstadt: Gerald Sinstadt, former BBC and ITV football commentator, dies aged 91 | Football | The Guardian

I'm not going to post footage of him reporting on Hillsborough, but I will post this clip of him commentating on Denis Law relegating Man United:

Skip to 4:40 for the good stuff. Some finish tbf. Sinstadt died at 91 so he's worth 34 Base Points for @Sweaty Morph, with a Solo Shot bonus taking that up to 84 points.

==================

Second death this week was former Wolves midfielder, Ron Flowers: Ron Flowers obituary | England | The Guardian

I think the best thing you should read if you're unfamiliar with him is this tribute on Wolves' website: A tribute to Ron Flowers | Wolverhampton Wanderers FC (wolves.co.uk)

Flowers won three league titles and an FA Cup with Wolves. He had an unremarkable international career.

Flowers died at 87, so he's worth 38 Base Points for @Ben Twilly and @pub car king, with a Deadly Duo bonus giving them both a total of 63 points.

As a result, the standings look like this:

1. Ned Nederlander 713

Reminds me of the old joke...

"My mate was intimate with a doughnut once."

"Was it a ring or jam one?"

"It was a ring....

 

....for the first two weeks."

Very sad to hear about wee Bertie for a bunch of reasons. Why couldn't have been Willie Wallace who is on my list?

No bother. Had to check the spreadsheet in case I'd taken him out the squad!
