Turns out humanity is mentally sub-par.
We could spin this positively: The pandemic has been great for misanthropes, who have had their opinions validated extensively.Quote:

One from a while back, but anyone who played Championship Manager 01/02 will remember the name Maxim Tsigalko.
He got two caps for Belarus (scoring once) but injury meant his career never took off the way it did in almost every CM game.
He died on Christmas Day 2020 at 37. No cause of death reported that I can see. But it seems Belarus isn't the place to have your career ended early by injury. Fairly sad story overall.

Seemed like a nice guy. Something like ten different drugs in his system. Yikes.Quote:

Freddy Rincon RIP. Lovely player.

Who "inherits" his clients now? Anyone have any idea?
Not sure at all but i think his brother is involved heavily in his agency so there’s probably some sort of succession plan there for the last while. Either way, you’d imagine this might cause a little/lot turmoil in the transfer market this off season!!
Ric Parnell, the drummer from Spinal Tap.
Cause of death "not immediately available". Maybe because you can't dust for vomit.
Another Australian cricketer, Andrew Symonds https://www.theguardian.com/sport/bl...tant-celebrity
Dervla Murphy, completely mad travel writer (in the nicest possible way!) from Waterford, aged 90.
A Place Apart is one of the best travel books I've ever read, about a spell cycling around the North in 1976. Comes with a post-script from the Head of the British Army at the time crediting the book with helping change his understanding of the North and, ultimately, getting the place on the path to peace.
That's rather ruined my day :(

The Andy Fletcher announcement today got me in the feels. Was a huge fan of DM and him in general.
DM’s Personal Jesus was also the answer to todays Heardle which is a very weird coincidence.

Uwe Seeler, former German international, aged 85.
In the late 70s, he was a guest player in a Cork Celtic match, a few years after his official retirement. Apparently, he wasn't aware that it was a league match and thought he'd signed up for a friendly. Scored two goals in that match.
David Warner, aged 80. One of those actors that you don't even realise how many things he pops up in, from the stage, to VA work in animation, to Star Trek (he was Picard's torturer in the famous "Chain of Command" two-parter, of "There are four lights!" fame), to Titanic. I was always struck by his voice, which had this very, well, evil quality to it. I remember the very first time I read The Hobbit I automatically imagined Smaug's dialogue in his voice.
David Trimble. A courageous leader at a time when courage was needed.

Actor Paul Sorvino.
Just read an obituary of the rallying driver, Paddy Hopkirk. Hadn't seen it mentioned elsewhere. Won the Monte Carlo Rally in 1964.
Paddy Hopkirk was an Irish rallying legend. One of the trialblazers of the Motorsport industry in Ireland.
