Celebs who’ve passed

[Yorkhacker]

If you have to use the word apparently does that therefore disqualify them from being a celeb?

Not necessarily. It just means I'd never heard of them. Im sure there are plenty of music fans on the forum that would have heard of him.

As far as I'm concerned, if you've got a Wikipedia page with more than 5 lines, you're a celeb!

I play golf with a guy who's Wikipedia page runs to 11 lines. He's in good health but should things go south for him at least I know I can give him a mention here.

I'm obviously happy with that. Others might disagree...

RIP BB

Jumbo Ozaki, aged just 78.

Remarkable how we now say "just 78" (in a good sense).
My Dad lasted just 1 year after retiring at 65. My wife, now 75, lost her Mum, a sister and a brother all in their 50's.

You're a bit late to the party. I posted that on the 'Golfers Who Have Passed' thread, 4 days ago!

I don't read that thread and, in any case, didn't realise it was a race.

Eva Schloss (nee Geiringer) aged 96.

Eva survived Auschwitz along with her mother. Her father and brother died there.
They had been friends and neighbours of Anne Frank's family.
In 1953 Eva's mother married Anne's father Otto who had lost his wife and two daughters. So Eva was a would-be step sister of Anne Frank.

Eva eventually came to London and married Zvi Schloss. They became UK citizens. She lived in London for 70 years. Co-founder of Anne Frank Trust UK. Awarded MBE in 2013.

A truly remarkable woman.

Martin Chivers.
I remember many years ago seeing him tear Crystal Palace a new one!
He was a very, very good player.
RIP.

As a birthday treat I was bought a tour of the new Spurs stadium and the host was Martin Chivers, what an absolute gentleman. He was a great player and I will always remember his goal against Wolves in one of the European finals. RIP big man.

Chiv was one of my dad's favourite players. Super player as I recall , from when I was just about old enough to remember watching football

Sad news I watched Chivers a lot and he was very good and a great favorite at Spurs I can still recall the Chivers for England chants at White Heart Lane.

Terry Yorath

Once walked into the Gents in a nightclub in Cardiff and a a few moments later was followed by Terry Yorath and Mike England who stood either side of me. They were casually discussing two ladies they had just eyeballed, literally over my 5'8 head.
I thought, "No, not a good time to ask for autographs"

Or to shake hands.
