He was worth it a few years ago when he was involved with the Italian mafia and might have been bumped off in an unusual way for some extra points but he's retired to one of the high security castles since then and I don't think he was even out and about for the queen's funeral.

Aye, it's him, the old boy, not Charles brother.

Why are poeple mourning that Gold arsehole? I suspect that the goods he sampled (allegedly) along with his mate Sullivan will not feel the same. Good Riddance to an utter beast, (again, allegedly).

The dead can't sue 

Disraeli snored in bed! Lord Derby wore frilly knickers!

Week 1 update

Slow start? What's that? First death of the year was Celtic and St. Mirren striker Frank McGarvey: Frank McGarvey, former Celtic and St Mirren striker, dies aged 66 | Celtic | The Guardian

I'm going to go different here and post St. Mirren's video tribute:

Not a bad career, really. McGarvey died at 66 so he's worth 59 Base Points and a First Blood bonus for @alta-pete, @Billy Jean King, @buddiepaul, @Desp, @Indale Winton, @Ned Nederlander, @psv_killie, @sparky88 and @Sweaty Morph for a total of 84 points each, with @JustOneCornetto getting a Vice-Captain bonus for 114 points.

Second death from pancreatic cancer this week was also a striker with extensive success in the 80s with a few clubs, Gianluca Vialli: Gianluca Vialli obituary | Football | The Guardian

Quote

Gianluca Vialli, who has died of pancreatic cancer aged 58, became the first Italian to manage a top-flight English football club when he took over at Chelsea in 1998, guiding them to FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup trophies. However, he will be better remembered for his playing career as a dynamic, intelligent and versatile forward at Sampdoria and Juventus, as well as for Italy, with whom he won 59 caps between 1985 and 1992.

During a lengthy sojourn at Sampdoria in the 1980s and early 90s, Vialli won various honours, including the Italian League and the European Cup Winners’ Cup, but it was during his later, shorter stay at Juventus that he hit the greatest heights, captaining the side to a Champions League title in 1996.

Moving on to Chelsea immediately afterwards, he became a well-liked figure in west London, graduating from player to player-manager and then solely to manager – until, in the modern Chelsea tradition, he was sacked while still in full flow. A year followed as manager of Watford, after which he decided to concentrate on other interests, including television work and a backroom job with the Italian national side.

Vialli died at 58 so he's worth 67 Base Points. There's a mixture of Captains and such here, so I'll do everyone by group:

Base Points (67) - @Arbroathlegend36-0, @atfccfc@buddiepaul, @chomp my root, @Desp, @DG.Roma, @Donathan, @Fuctifano, @gkneil, @HI HAT, @JustOneCornetto, @Karpaty Lviv, @lichtgilphead, @Lofarl, @lolls, @Michael W@Ned Nederlander @pub car king, @The_Craig, @The DA, @The Naitch, @thistledo

Vice-Captain (101) - @Arch Stanton, @LoonsYouthTeam, @Ludo*1, @mozam76, @psv_killie

Captain (134) - @Arabdownunder, @Bully Wee Villa, @cdhafc1874, @D.V.T., @Frosty, @HK Hibee, @Mark Connolly, @microdave, @qos_75, @throbber, @weirdcal

As a result, the standings look like this:

1. psv_killie 185
2. JustOneCornetto 181
3. buddiepaul, Desp, Ned Nederlander 151
6. Arabdownunder, Bully Wee Villa, cdhafc1874, D.V.T., Frosty, HK Hibee, Mark Connolly, microdave, qos_75, throbber, weirdcal 134
17. Arch Stanton, LoonsYouthTeam, Ludo*1, mozam76 101
21. alta-pete, Billy Jean King, Indale Winton, sparky88, Sweaty Morph 84
26. Arbroathlegend36-0, atfccfc, chomp my root, DG.Roma, Donathan, Fuctifano, gkneil, HI HAT,  Karpaty Lviv, lichtgilphead, Lofarl, lolls, Michael W, pub car king, The_Craig, The DA, The Naitch, thistledo 67
44. Everyone else 0
