Rather pales in comparison to RBG but I noticed that Sir Terence Conran popped his clogs last week.

Just like the football season, covid interrupted and play was abandoned

Okay so I've just been 100% useless with updating the chart.

I actually had two points-scoring deaths earlier this year that I missed - Genesis P-Orridge (30 points) and Daniel arap Moi (4 points), so I've marked that. (New picks are Bob Dole and Prunella Scales.)

DaveLovesDee and JGK get 13 points each for RBG. I've put in DaveLovesDee's new pick. JGK needs a new pick for RBG.

From a quick glance, though, I don't think any of the other picks have croaked... unless I missed anyone? Let me know if you see anyone...

Somebody had Kirk Douglas, but he was 104 when he died

Is that negative points?

I had him back in 2015 when he was still worth a point. I was obviously desperate.

I had Vera Lynn then too.

Yeah, that was me

I didn't realize how old he really was. Thankfully Schnooks gave me a heads up and I switched him out, otherwise, yes, negative points.
