The 5th Annual Celebrity Death Thread 2020 - Behold the Harvest!

[Memento Mori]

.... thought he'd been dead already for years..

I had a conversation with my brother like three weeks ago where Des O'Connor was brought up and I was convinced he'd been dead for like 15 years.

Bob Monkhouse died in 2003 and Terry Wogan about 5 years ago. Easy to mix the 3 up i think.

[Corazon de Leon]

It’s being reported now - Maradona is dead.

[Wedgie]

Diego Maradona died, aged 60.

Heart attack. R.I.P.

[Moggy]

Cheating bastard, but probably the greatest player of all time.

If there's an afterlife, I hope they've stocked up on cocaine.

[Drumstick]

RIP, the rascal.

[Victor Mildew]

Touched for the very last time

[Rex Kramer]

You can't help but have a bit of affection for the cheating git. Such a phenomenal player at his peak and also a magnificent advertisement for the dangers of class A drug use. RIP.

Edit: he was also responsible for the first time my mum heard me swear when I shouted bastard at the top of my voice during that game.

[Corazon de Leon]

Hand of God is away to meet the rest of him.

Maradona is beloved in Scotland by all the plebs who hate England just because they’re England. From what I saw of him he was a brilliant player but had so many problems. Shame they caught up with him like that.

I like to think Soundgarden made a song about Maradona:



Alas, it was released way before Italia '90.

The hand of god incident was in 1986 though.

Maragoner.

3 days of mourning in Argentina?

He was a cheat both in terms of on pitch conduct and being a doping failure on multiple occasions.

It's like the US having a state funeral for Lance strawberry floating Armstrong!

He is the face of football in Argentina pre-Messi though. The amount of Argentinian kids he inspired to become professional footballers is immeasurable.

I am as sorry he died as I am any random stranger who has died... I do find it weird people hero worshiping and looking up to a cheater though.
