Celebrity Deaths 2024 (90 or younger)

RIP Dickie, an Irish superstar and I believe an extremely decent man.
My oul fella had great time for Dickie as he was in a showband in the early 60’s (me Dad, that is) and thought the Miami were the greatest of them.

I was in the Two Sisters pub in Terenure about 20 years ago now. Dickie was in there with a few mates, one of whom was a regular. Dickie had a baseball cap on. At one stage his regular mate approached the bar and said that Mr Rock would like to watch the racing.

Wise words.

It was one of his own wishes to be brought onto the field for one last huddle with the players. They did him proud and captured the moment beautifully.

Only watched Black Christmas the other night and was thinking how fine she was.

Greg Gumbel RIP

Jimmy Carter RIP.

Amazing how he avoided it and lived to be a centurion.

A good man. A decent man. The most decent man to hold the office probably ever. An absolute giant compared to the utter trash that’s shortly to resume the office.

2 from 5. Another win incoming for me by the looks of it.

RIP Jimmy.

It’s 90 or younger MBB.

Not at the start of the year it wasn’t. I’m ok with them changing the rules to stop me winning. I’ll adapt and adjust and win yet again in 2025.

Either way it was a tap-in.

Me oul’ fella used never like former Newcastle and Arsenal striker Malcolm McDonald*. He said he was a tap in merchant. McDonald’s favorite goal was getting a touch on a ball that was already destined for the net just as it went over the line. He’d wheel away and glorify himself like David May at the Nou Camp in May 1999.

On this thread in recent years Malcolm has successfully predicted the deaths of Jimmy Carter, Henry Kissinger, Kirk Douglas, Dame Vera Lynn and Bob Hope.

Well done Malcolm.

We score higher for a younger death. But you take that tap ins and hope for the tragedy to land. This is serious business. Don’t come in here telling me the odds. Never tell me the odds kid.

Jesus saves.
But Daglish nets the rebound….

Surprised to read it was Daglish who signed Jimmy Carter from Millwall, I would have blamed Souness all day long for that one.
