10menwent2mow Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 On 21/11/2021 at 12:08, Miguel Sanchez said: Week 47 update Three deaths this week. Up first is one I missed from last week, former South African president F.W. de Klerk: FW de Klerk obituary | South Africa | The Guardian The process of ending apartheid in South Africa was well underway when I was born, but it's a testament to how comprehensively things were changed that although articles like this demonstrate how significant it was, it's a concept that I can't imagine existing in the world I live in. Apart from what Israel does to Palestine obviously, but there's not as many people there. de Klerk died at 85, so he's worth 40 Base Points. He gets a Deadly Duo bonus for @10menwent2mow and @Salvo Montalbano for an extra 25 and a total of 65 points. ====================== Second death this week was Celtic player Bertie Auld: Obituary: Bertie Auld, the Lisbon Lion who became an authentic working-class hero | HeraldScotland I'm not going to quote part of that obituary because the whole thing deserves to be read. I am going to post a picture though: (this isn't the original picture I was going to post, but the man seems to like his dogs. There's also a picture of him and Rod Stewart in Rangers tops in this gallery: In pictures: Celebrating the life of Celtic legend and Lisbon Lion Bertie Auld after his death aged 83 - Daily Record) I've posted about footballers of varying levels of success here before. Every time I do I'm always struck by how these people who play for the clubs we support become symbols of everything we want from our teams. When you read about footballers from older generations you're struck by how fine the lines were between supporter and fan back in those days. Men like Bertie Auld really encapsulate that, with an impeccable playing career followed by a life of completely deserved reverence from the Celtic support. Auld died at 83, so he's worth 42 Base Points for @jimbaxters, @Salvo Montalbanoand @tamthebam, with @BillyAnchor and @theportman getting a Captain bonus for a total of 84 points. ====================== Final death this week is a politician's wife, Clarissa Eden: Clarissa Eden obituary | Conservatives | The Guardian Eden died at 101, so she's worth 14 Base Points. Whatever Cardinal Richelieu is calling himself this week had her as his captain for an extra 14, plus a Solo Shot bonus for a total of 78 points. As a result of all of these, the standings now look like this: 1. Ned Nederlander 713 2. Savage Henry 429 3. Bishop Briggs 424 4. Fuctifano 420 5. psv_killie 413 6.
