Isn’t there a thread for the Junior A section on this issue. Significant people who’ve died or something but these last efforts aren’t Senior standard.
Archie Roach is, however a legend and hence a celebrity for the current purposes. I have a savage CD of his given to me in Perth by my notorious BIL who’s been polluting me with assorted body-numbing liquids for 4 days.

Does Brendan Bowyer make your list?
Edit only seeing his funeral is this week. Missed that he died in May.
It’s a marginal call but he was BIG in his hey-day of the 60’s and 70’s. He buzzed off to Vegas and set up camp there. Allowed.
