Deathlist 2013-14 Banter Thread

[SJN-Fox]

Right then, here we go for another gruesome year. Attached is a list of who has what. The final whistle will blow at the kick off of this season's FA Cup final in May 2014. Don't forget, any new selections don't count if they shuffle off before June 1st (Midnight on Fri 31st may).

To start off, there are a couple that have slipped under the radar in the last couple of days or so ...

Wrestler Mick McManus

Bowie's bassist Trevor Bolder

The Doors keyboard player Ray Manzarek

Actor Richard Thorp (Emmerdale's Alan Turner)

No-one had them on their list which is just as well as they wouldn't have counted anyway.

Never could get into his sci-fi stuff though, far too many daft names in the first chapter of the only book I tried to read. I got totally lost and binned it. His fiction work though was brilliant stuff.

I always found the names a big stumbling block too, but well worth it in the end. Worth giving them another try.
