Guy is 97, smoked well into his 70s, drank very heavily and also survived a car crash where his car burnt to its frame. I'm not sure he ever dies.

Joe Blog Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Bob Dylan for me. I thought he had died years and years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for me is when they kill off older soap actors and your brain automatically assumes they’re actually dead. Mike Baldwin was one, must have thought he’d gone down swinging at Barlow when in actual fact he only died a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 7, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 7, 2023 Joni Mitchell. I thought she, like Janis Joplin had died in the 70's. But she's still rocking at 79. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Dickie Bird is still alive, he's at the Test Match today. He feels like a character from a different era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_3165 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I was convinced that Perry Saturn was dead. Apparently he disappeared for years, only to resurface. He had a drug addiction after fighting off two rapists and getting shot twice..jeez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 11, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 I just found out that Stanley Baxter is still alive at 97. I definitely thought he'd gone years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty common among wrestling fans, I've found. All those years where he was off the grid and nobody in the business had heard from him caused a lot of rumours.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 11, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 11, 2023 In the case of Perry Saturn, I don't know about anyone else, but it occurs to me that maybe I thought he was dead because somehow I'd got him confused with Bam Bam Bigelow, who'd also gone off-grid, committed an act of heroism, then passed away.

cobra_gordo Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Des Lynam. Only 80 but genuinely though he'd died years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 He completely screwed his career by leaving the BBC before he needed to, which led to everyone assuming he'd retired. Apparently he presented the footy on ITV but I have no memory of that. By his early 60s I think everyone assumed he was 70+ and retired.

Probably because The Premiership programme was a bit of a dud, but I enjoyed the intro, especially when the footage of Bergkamps spin against Newcastle is soundtracked by Bono singing "Toooouuuuch meeeeee" which is an apt use of song for that particular piece of skill.
